Promising but needs ALOT of work
Promising, great for complete beginners. I bought Alli AI on it's promise that is it is "AI" & its ability to increase back links, specifically for guest houses which is hard to optimize. Here's my review so far.
Pros
Very nice and clean dashboard.
Nice instructions on what tasks to do for beginners.
Cons (What I don't like/recommendations/improvements)
- When analyzing, it takes forever, you need to exit & come back (fix please)
- No way of seeing if your tasks are done correctly (maybe I missed this)
What I'd like to see
- Ability to export (PDF) keyword suggestions/delete or re-order for later use
- No way to make notes for projects on the dashboard
- SHOULD show difficulty to rank for a keyword like textmetrix & others
(A must have)
- Ability to remove tasks manually or tick them off e.g. done, N/A, etc.
- Make it easy to find and see keywords, domains used vs available keywords
domains (probably missed this)
- Explanation page would be nice e.g. impact 1 or 8 (compared to what,
meaningless if you don't know)
- Do not use blue (that indicate links) if something is not clickable , referring to
items under category
- Would be nice to have it analyze the site again to check and compare if
tasks were completed successfully. How will beginners know if their tasks
were completed correctly?
After adding 2 guest house websites: I found the on page & content and on site technical to be very basic. It's virtually the same as free online tools and others like SEO Pop ($10), Site Guru and loads of other free tools. So the on-page and technical is good for beginners but basically worthless if you have other software or use any free online tool. The fact it does not check for changes to see if you did the tasks is lazy software (did I miss the button that says re-analyze). ALI AI SHOULD CHECK & MARK TASKS!!!!
Outreach opportunities might work for certain industries but for the two guest houses I'm optimizing, it's worthless. Quora maybe if topics are relevant but booking.com, planetofhotels.com, tripadvisor? I found no real link building help here. Niche links, maybe but as someone who does SEO I already know where to look and need a good link building tool. I really thought the AI would be good & comparable to other software.
I don't know whether it's because I have my own SEO checklist or if the software is aimed at beginners but I cannot see how it is helping me to increase ranking for the two guest houses I'm working on. I am hoping it will get better and there are major improvements.
As for the AI - this made me decide to do something I've been wanting to do for a long while; building my own tool. There is no AI involved in the first two sections, maybe in the other three sections of Alli AI. But again, I was a bit disappointed because I can find the same or better back links using only a list that I have been using based of my years doing SEO.
I look forward to improvements, it can really grow and improve.
