When should you choose SeenScore?
Choose SeenScore if you want to know quickly what's stopping customers from finding you on Google and ChatGPT, and you're happy to make the changes yourself or pass the list to your web designer.
When is an agency the better choice?
An agency suits you if you'd rather pay someone to do the work every month, including writing content and building links. Many agencies start with an audit like SeenScore's, so a scan is a useful way to check what they propose.
When do you need a full SEO tool?
If you track hundreds of keywords, research competitors' backlinks or run SEO as a daily job, an all-in-one tool gives you more data. SeenScore focuses on what to fix first, not on ongoing research.
