How we test
Our rankings answer one question: which AI SEO tool is best for a given job? Here is how we get there.
1. Find
We track content optimizers, AI writers, keyword tools, technical automation, internal-linking tools and all-in-one platforms, and re-check for new and retired tools. Every tool is eligible, and we review the ones we wouldn't recommend too.
2. Verify
For each tool we record its starting price, free option, integrations and API or MCP access, each from the vendor's own pricing or product page. Third-party reviews are never enough on their own. Anything we can't verify stays blank and is marked "—".
3. Judge
We pick tools by job rather than naming one overall winner. To be recommended, a tool must publish its pricing and be clear about what each plan includes.
Hands-on testing
We are rolling out hands-on tests: running the same keyword and article through each tool and comparing the output. Results will appear on each review, with the date, once a tool has been tested. Until then, reviews are based on verified vendor information.
4. Re-check
Prices and plans change often. Every page shows the date its facts were last verified.
