*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.

Need a larger database of keywords When gathering and analyzing competitive keywords via tools such as Kombat, SpuFu is one of the best tools on the market. But my team has struggled getting baseline monthly search volume when trying to identify new keywords opportunities. We work in a niche sector so while this is not surprising, we found other tools that met these needs better.

Good to a point then you need advanced SEO skills Great for first steps in understanding your market and their SEO strategies, beyond that you need more help to make real use of this information. I kept hitting roadblocks in my knowledge and videos also started out clear and then SEO jargon above my head.

Poor performance The reports would not work and the server continued to lock when I tried to get one url report or three url's to see what my competitors were doing as far as ppc.

The 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!
