URL Monitor Reviews

This has turned out to be one of those deals where you don't get new features. To be honest, had I known that the developer would want to charge big bucks for newly added features (added pretty much immediately after the deal finished) I wouldn't have bothered with it.

Also, and I really don't know how or why this could be, but my organic site visitors have gone down since implementing this. I don't know how I why, but I think I am going to have to go through the hassle of removing it and just assigning it to the junk cupboard of deals that didn't work out. Luckily, I've had some great deals too so that odd dud is to be expected. You have to kiss a few frogs to get a date with those princess deals :-)

a real piece of junk, a lot of bugs and it doesn't work. it's a shame to sell a product like this, a lot of bugs, broken procedures, messed up configurations... it sucks. junk

I usually don´t like to write reviews and specifically bad reviews, but this tool is really a huge deception. As soon as I have enabled it, I started to see the opposite of what I was waiting, my pages started to be de-indexed and most of them are already in yellow as being in the process.
In the last months, they have started to rollout new features that they are demanding to upgrade for one of the monthly subscriptions when supposedly all future upgrades were included.
Too bad the Refund process is over, or I would have certainly refund this one.

I purchased URL Monitor through AppSumo because the software seemed promising and aligned with my needs. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of my expectations.

The Main Issue:
The connection between URL Monitor and Google Search Console (GSC) simply didn’t work. Despite correct setup and proper permissions (Owner status in the GSC), the connection remained inactive. I expected the provider to offer a clear solution or support to address this issue, but that didn’t happen.

The Support:
My biggest disappointment was the support. I contacted them multiple times and tried to resolve the issue together. However, responses were consistently delayed and unhelpful. What frustrated me the most was the suggestion that firewalls or security software on my side might be causing the issue. This explanation makes no sense, as the connection between GSC and URL Monitor is server-side and has nothing to do with my local computer.

The Conclusion:
After weeks of back-and-forth with support and no viable solution, I had no choice but to cancel my purchase. While the software may sound good on paper, it is currently not recommendable in practice. The service does not work, and the support team could neither resolve the issue nor provide a satisfactory explanation.

I cannot recommend URL Monitor. It’s frustrating to invest time in setup and troubleshooting only to end up with no results.

Rating:
Not recommended.

The tool seemed very promising. In the end, it works averagely. The lack of all functions for sumolings so soon after their debut on appsumo is a complete failure.
