Powerful Platform with a Cluttered and Confusing Interface
I’ve only been using the platform for a few days and software itself has great features which have me excited to replace other tools I use currently (RankMath etc)
However the interface really is cluttered with “learn more” widgets that have no way of being removed / hidden.
Also there seems to be promotional popups for their website hosting service which is distracting as well and seems to keep reappearing every so often…
And the duplication of the Squirrly Wordpress menu navigation right next to the same navigation options INSIDE of the Squirrly windows (for those accessing it in Wordpress) is a UX / UI mystery as to why this can't be removed...
But at the minimum, I’m hoping I can find a way to hide the various "learn more" widgets and dashboard tips from clients to avoid their overwhelm. Basically hide everything but the Post / Page analysis tool from them. Doesnt seem to be an option in the settings.
Hopefully this can be cleaned up to truly make this software the industry leader it deserves to be! :-)

Nov 28, 2024Hey there, Sumo-ling! Thank you so much for giving Squirrly SEO a try and for sharing your detailed feedback here.
Regarding the "Learn More" widgets: they are there to link to our knowledge base and help users get the most out of the features. That said, we understand where you're coming from, and we’ll definitely take your feedback into account. As for the promotional popups, I want to clarify that these appear across some of our external websites as part of general marketing efforts, but they DON'T show up within the Squirrly SEO interface itself.
