Top All-in-One Ranking Software Platform

The accuracy of keywords in the SERPs over desktop and mobile is amazing!

PROS

With over 15 years of experience in SEO and web marketing, I've bought into every ranking software platform in the market. I can tell you with high confidence that Nightwatch is by far the most accurate in terms of their keyword ranking over desktop and mobile plus they have other very helpful features such as pulling in valuable data from Moz, Ahrefs, and Majestic that is super friendly that saves me a ton of money on from buying those other platforms which are expensive. I purchased their Pro account and with it you can also white-label your reports to make them look professional and branded to your business. Additionally, Nightwatch allows me to spy on local competitor websites which is helpful information. Nightwatch.io is a must-have purchase for any digital marketing agency looking for an all-in-one solution for their clients and also to help grow their business. I've been with Nightwatch for over 3 years now and it's one of the best business decisions I've made.

CONS

Even though they already pull in valuable data from other platforms such as Ahrefs, Moz, and Majestic I'd like to see additional tools and features from those places.

For when other tools fail... I turn to NightWatch

Great so far. Never really needed any support as things are very clear cut.

PROS

Everything is great about the tool especially the hyper local geo tracking.

CONS

Can get pricey the more KWs you add. But if you are making money then there is really no excuse.

Reasons for switching to Nightwatch

Ahrefs local tracking is not great. They are great at finding KWs, but using a tool like NightWatch helps to confirm those rankings before you make yourself look stupid and reach out to a prospect and they are actually ranking better than Ahrefs said.

Nightwatch: Automation tool

Nightwatch is great. I like it but I found Cypress more handy and easy. So we switched from Nightwatch to Cypress.

PROS

1. It uses JS so its easy to use and run tests 2. Implementation of cucumber (BDD) is so simple. 3. Cool report can be generated using the html reporter.

CONS

1. Driver is required for API test. 2. The CICD seems a bit daunting in comparison to Cypress.

Great SEO tool for a newbie a seasoned pro

PROS

I like that it's able to be customized and easy to use. I use a bunch of different tracking tools and Nightwatch is one of the easier to measure rankings, compare against competitors and complete additional site audits and backlink checking. It's also got a nice reporting tool that I can send to clients to keep them happy as we are working through deliverables.

CONS

Not much that's a con. It's not a robust tool like an SEMRush or Ahrefs, but that's not why I use this. It does exactly what I need it to do.

Reasons for switching to Nightwatch

RankTracker went down and I needed an alternative. But I also didn't love the results it produced

Nightwatch - Deep Keyword and Link Tracking Tool

Overall, the tool is perfect for my needs, and I would recommend it to anyone who is in need of a keyword tracking tool.

PROS

The tool is very simple and easy to use. It tracks keywords that I select accurately and displays SERPs in the tool. It allows me to track competitors and stay ahead of them in Google search, as well as create visuals and graphs to display my results to my seniors for reporting. The URL and link tracking built in to the tool is also helpful in identifying what sites are linking to mine, and whether the quality of the URL is worth reaching out for more links.

CONS

The only negative thing I could say about the tool is the pricing. Not that it isn't a great value at all pricing options, but it would be a nice nod to continued and valued customers to provide incentives to continue using the tool, such as retainment pricing or extras.

Our Rank Tracking Software of Choice

Accurate keyword rank tracking is a must for our organization. We were using their Ranktrackr product already, loved it, and decided to upgrade. Good investment.

PROS

We moved to Nightwatch after using several other keyword ranking trackers. Why? The #1 thing we need from a SERP tracker is accuracy, and we've found nothing better. The ability to apply numerous filters and see multiple factors including Map Pack rankings is icing on the cake. Add in keyword suggestions, competitor tracking, and backlink tracking, and you've got one of the most powerful keyword SEO tools in the industry. We use Nightwatch on every project, from solopreneurs to large international corporations. It works, saves us time, and helps us increase profits.

CONS

Took a bit of time to figure out how to implement multiple GA and GSC accounts, but support was excellent in helping us. Works flawlessly.

I'm using Nightwatch from the start on, and I'm having an excellent experience ever since.

PROS

What I like the most about Nightwatch is the visual representation of rankings, especially overall average position and evolution for specific keywords. In a split second, I can see how well we perform for a certain time period. It is a user-friendly, yet powerful tool that does the job!!

CONS

So far so good. I just hope that it won't become too big, with gazillion features, where UX could suffer. But I understand that the target audience of NightWatch are SEO marketing experts who appreciate features beyond simple rank-tracking.

If you need a stable and powerful SEO tracker tool, the Nightwatch is for you

We spent a long time to look forward SEO tracker that we can track our SEO performance in a few countries both desktop and mobile keywords, but not only our performance - the key is that we can easily track our competitors and analyse all visibility. Nowadays analysing the big amount of data and drawing conclusions is the right way to be on top in SERPs. In Nightwatch, you can find a lot of dimensions and advanced filters (every data freak find something for them). You can create custom keyword groups, graphs and reports - for faster accessibility.

PROS

- easily track competitors and analyse all visibility - lot of dimensions and advanced filters - custom keyword groups, graphs and reports

CONS

- not all features are live, but hope they will be

The best thing about Nightwatch is that it delivers on rank tracking but also provides many other additional features.

CONS

There was one time Nightwatch showed some inaccurate data in the number of Indexed pages. That was caused by Google according to support and it only happened once.

Best bang for your buck!

It has been excellent. The customer service is on par and always responsive. Service is high quality. What more can you ask for?

PROS

I have used and tested many different rank trackers over the years, from hosted to self hosted. I always had complaints with what I was using until I discovered Nightwatch. The setup is a breeze and everything "just works". The ability to view certain metrics such as Majestic TF/CF, backlinks, and analytics all from within Nightwatch is a huge time saver for us.

CONS

Nothing so far. If I had to pick something I would say I would like to monitor more backlinks without upgrading to the next plan up.

My Most Favorite Everyday Tool - Nightwatch

Nightwatch makes me look like a professional when talking to clients. It has contributed so much to business. Love it and thanks to team behind Nightwatch. They have done a great job and I never and ever had an issue with them. The software never glitched so I don't have to worry about the downtime of the software.

PROS

Ohhhh! There are so many things I like about Nightwatch. First most important thing is the automated report to be sent out to my clients. This has been the most valuable feature to my business. Report can be customised based on the package my client has signed up. It is so easy to customise and setup an automated report. The white labelling is the huge plus to the report. I can customise the email to be sent out with the report. Each client get a personalised email with their ranking report. Next, let talk about the rankings. Because I am doing local SEO and Nightwatch has been able to track the local keywords precisely. Did I mention about google map listing? Oh Yes! Nightwatch is so capable in tracking Google snack pack. Daily ranking update has been another reason why I liked Nightwatch so much. With daily ranking update I am able to go back to the history to see the rankings on specific date. Of course, they are so many rank tracking tools today but no one has come even closer to Nightwatch. You get what you paid for.

CONS

Nothing I can about dislike this software as it is an amazing rank tracker software. I love it because I use it everyday.

Nightwatch

I was searching for a good rank tracker and failed to find something that was really worth the price. That's until I found Nightwatch, and it has changed my life and my workflow. I cannot work a day professionally without Nightwatch and it's amazing cache of features. Nightwatch is an amazing piece of software and the flexibility to see different type of stats at the same time gives me an excellent picture of what my seo campaigns are doing. Seeing backlinks grow is great for my team and perfect for my client. Watching how my client is doing against the same niche is helpful for planning.

PROS

The graphical design of Nightwatch is amazing. It's easy to read and understand because of the excellent UX/UI design. I don't see anything else on the net that comes even close, and the ones that do come close they look like Candyland. Nightwatch looks like the future went back in time and gave the designers a sneak peak at what design will become. The amount of information sent to me from the Nightwatch team in my emails and their blog posts has changed the way I do some of my SEO. The reports that Nightwatch churn out is amazing, easy to read, and you can slap your logo on them and send them straight to the clients. No need to mess around. It's all there. It's amazing how professional these reports look like. I'm not a super big SEO superhero, but Nightwatch makes me look like one.

CONS

There isn't really a lot to complain about. I want more reports and custom reports, but those features are coming.

As a online marketing agency we cant live without Nightwatch!

As a online marketing agency we cant live without Nightwatch! It helps​ us keep a track of the rankings of our client but provide much more like competition insight and some advanced seo data. Alsp on love with the new added integration of analytics and Search console. Keep up the good work guys!

PROS

a lot of updates, much more then only ranktracking, very easy to use.

CONS

I miss the overall overview. We do a lot of work for clients and sometimes you just want to group some domains in one report. The dashboard now works, but is not very easy to use yet. Im sure they will fix this in a future update. Would also love to see seo audits implemented (like woorank or semrush), but i believe they already building this (awesome!)

NightwatchJS Test Framework

For the most part, it's a solid tool. There are some core issues that our team has had to workaround but generally speaking it gets the job done.

PROS

Open source, easy to install and get started. Good documentation. Does most things well.

CONS

It's open source so there is little to no "customer support" and the development team is not always quick to respond to issues. The tool utilizes Javascript and the asynchronous nature of JS can be VERY frustrating when putting together test flows that you expect to run synchronously.

Beautiful Design, Powerful set of tools

Our agency loves the tool and hasn't looked back since we made the switch from our previous tool. The reports and dashboards are awesome. Exactly what we were looking for in a rank tracking tool + so much more.

PROS

I love the side-by-side comparison of rankings in the Local Pack and regular Organic Results. Our previous rank tracking software did not have this feature and It made it difficult to get the overall picture. I also LOVE the design.. It is beautiful and so much fun to look at. Nightmode is where it's at.

CONS

They have a great feature where you can pull in traffic data from Google Analytics and graph the comparison to other SEO metrics. However, I wish you could filter to only organic traffic, not all traffic sources.
