Pros

The dashboard provides a wholistic look at your business's marketing and SEO all in one place.

Cons

The data lacks context and prioritization, and although there are thorough tutorials for how to address issues and execute changes, it must be done off-platform, not within the dashboard.

Pros

Cons

Its not that easy to use when you are just starting with it, with so many tools and data available, it might be hard to know where to start or how to use everything effectively. other thing is cost can be high for small businesses and individuals.
