Our commitment

Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“RankIQ's UI is stripped down, but quite intuitive.”

Michelle G.

Owner

“The yearly estimated volume would be better as a monthly volume.”

Jordan W.

Content Writer

“There is a great Faceboook group you can join when you subscribe with everyone being so helpful.”

Rachel B.

Content Creator

Pros

“The audit tool provides clean, white-label reports that we can share directly with clients, while the citation builder takes the painful guesswork out of building consistent local signals.”

John B.

Chief Digital Officer

“My absolute favorite features are the Local Search Audit and the Citation Builder.”

John B.

Chief Digital Officer

“This allows me to easily navigate the dashboard and view updates.”

Cons

“Not only is the keyword research process tedious and time consuming, but also extremely confusing and frustrating. But what’s most notable is that performing this process is crucial if you want 1st page rankings in the google SERPS.”

Christian G.

Owner

Cons

“Not all of the directory listings go live, and in some instances, new listings are created on directories where the Brightlocal team cannot edit an existing listing - this goes against the principle of having one listing with the same NAP data across all other listed directories.”

Oliver M.

SEO Lead

“For example when I tried to customize dashboard, it would not save.”
