GBDid a few free searches on the clients … Did a few free searches on the clients websites Adwords to see how accurate it was. Out of 30 of them not one "had Adwords"

GBThe one free search result is wasted. The one free search result is wasted. Even if you key in the correct URL Spyfu messes it up somehow so that you don't get a result and have to pay. Grim strategic thinking!

GB*Warning- SPYFU Fraudulent Billing without Subscription : Warning: SpyFu's Unauthorized Billing Scam My recent encounter with SpyFu has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite never signing up for their services or providing consent, I found myself being billed for over a year. This unauthorized billing amounts to nothing short of fraud. Upon discovering these charges, I immediately contacted their customer support, seeking an explanation and refund. However, the response has been inadequate, leaving me feeling ignored and deceived. This experience serves as a stark warning to others: beware of SpyFu's deceptive billing practices. It's crucial to stay vigilant and hold companies accountable for their fraudulent behavior. Until SpyFu addresses this issue and improves their practices, I strongly advise against trusting them with your business.

GBVery poor initial experience. Far too expensive After subscribing to their lowest plan to try it out I was given the option of spending 192 of my 200 credits to run a Recon Report. Now if I want to run any additional reports they want to charge a lot more. So, in a nutshell my first entire monthly expense allowed me to run ONE report...?? No thanks

GBA decent platform with a few drawbacks The platform itself is easy to use and we appreciate the ability to automate monthly reports. However, it's frustrating to only be able to pull a monthly report on a specific date. When client meetings fall on or before this date, we are unable to pull the reports with sufficient time to prepare for the meeting. The insights provided are helpful, though it would be nice to see a bit more information on the graphs. We often pull the third page to show clients, and there isn't much information for them to grasp on their own. At the beginning of this month (March 2015), we were unable to pull reports for any of our clients. It took about two weeks for the issue to be resolved. This makes us look unprepared.
