Excellent SEO tool with some powerful features
Given it's relatively new, I'm really impressed with where BiQ is at. I have the likes of Ubersuggest, Brand Overflow, Serpwatch (and a few other SEO tools) so I wasn't sure I needed this. However, there's enough 'under the hood' for me to see how it fits. It's probably most comparable to ubersuggest in terms of functionality and UX, though I'm hoping it's more accurate. The keyword Intelligence tool is good, though pretty standard for such a tool. Content Itelligence is a really nice tool, similar to Frase but more simplified (so it's not as in-depth but has 'speed of use' advantages over Frase). Rank Intelligence is extremely good. I've found lots of keywords I didn't know I was ranking for (helping me target new content ideas) and I haven't even started analysing competitor sites with it yet. The downside is your credits on this don't renew every month like on the other features. However, that shouldn't be a deal-breaker. For one thing, you DON'T get pushed into higher priced plan if you go over your limites. You just pay the overage charges which works out at $3 per 1000 extra keywords found. That's a bargain. Plus, you get some control over how many credits you use in any one search. You can set a filter (for example you may only want to see keywords you rank top 10 for that have 100+ searches a month) and you'll see how many keywords have been found before you choose whether to reveal them. That means you can play with the filters to get a number you're happy with - so you're controlling how quickly you use your credits. The Rank Tracker was the only disappointment for me. Currently, you can't import keywords or add a comma seperated list. You have to add each keyword individually, pressing return after each one. That means it's simply not realistic to add hundreds of keywords at a time. However, I spoke to support and they've promised this feature improvement is coming soon. So, all in all, yes be aware your Rank Intelligence credits are one-time but that should reassure you rather than put you off. It means BiQ has a sustainable business model and is more likely to still be here in 10 years time.
