What cognitiveSEO is
cognitiveSEO is a paid SEO software suite for backlink analysis, website crawls, audits, keyword work, content optimization, and rank tracking. Its backlink tool combines link-database information with links crawled and analyzed on demand for each customer. Unnatural Link Detection groups links as unnatural, okay, or suspect and can generate a Google Disavow File. Site Explorer provides fresh and historical backlink data, while email alerts can report new and lost links on your own or competitors’ sites. The suite includes technical and content audits, keyword research, rank tracking, Google penalty prevention and recovery, and content optimization. The optimizer analyzes keyword rankings in any language and supplies keyword, search-intent, and SERP information. An API supports link analysis, rank tracking, and social-visibility data; API access is available on Elite and remains subject to plan limits. Google Analytics integration is listed on all three plans. Starter is $129.99 a month, Premium $199 a month, and Elite $499 a month, with lower yearly rates listed.
