    SEMrush Vs. DYI with automated tools

    Here’s a refined version with a smooth flow and clarity: Thank you, and sorry for the late response! I really appreciate all the information you’ve shared. I went through a lot of what you suggested, and I must say, ParseHub is quite slick and getting close to what I need. However, since...

    SEMrush Vs. DYI with automated tools

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this information—I really appreciate it! You’re absolutely right that this can be done, and I discussed it with a programmer as well. The estimated monthly costs for these systems, including AWS and a sufficient API package, would be around...

    Automation for website data scraping

    First, thank you! I just looked this website up and will try it tonight, Octoparse looks like an option. And yes, tell me about it the frustration level is through the roof, but I’m hoping to find something that does at least 80% of the work. It’s tiring to go through that manually every month.

    Automation for website data scraping

    I'm trying to make time to test that website I got, with warm words saying it does what I do manually. Frankly, I doubt it, but I’ll give it a chance. Hopefully, my colleague and I will get to it tonight. If I’m proven wrong and someone did think of this and actually made it work, I’d be happy...

    Automation for website data scraping

    I totally got what you're saying, but our way is exactly not to use AI on the raw data, yet this is where our core costs are using human mind knowing the website and goals inside and out, then knowing that digging deep into the raw data of several competitors. So far we have great success, I...

    SEMrush Vs. DYI with automated tools

    Thanks for the reply. I've already spent a ton on both—no doubt they’re top-notch tools—but every extra feature costs another $100-$200/month, which is crazy. I even paid extra and used content writers, but neither SEMrush, Ahrefs, nor Moz provide a simple way to get raw scraped data of...

    Automation for website data scraping

    Hi, thank you, I'm trying to do this programmatically using the suggested tool, but APIs are costly, and building a seamless automated system could take 3-4 months. Still, I'm giving it a shot and exploring a tip I got about another website. I'll update you if I find a viable solution. I need...

    Automation for website data scraping

    I'm looking for a low-cost tool to automate competitor analysis with bi-weekly or monthly updates. I need to input a list of about 10 competitors and get their full home page content in plain text, meta tags (title & description), and 3-4 of their strong backlinks could be social, citations...

    SEMrush Vs. DYI with automated tools

    Thanks for the info! I checked out SurferSEO, and you're right—it lacks full automation and starts at $79/month, adding another cost. The competitor referral, even if social, helps me with marketing insights, sometimes the number of reviews in the search results, and offers in search results...

    SEMrush Vs. DYI with automated tools

    SEMrush is expensive and, while it finds competitors, it still requires manual checking of each one—it doesn’t automatically scrape data from a list of 10 competitors. It also provides an endless backlinks list, often from random sites (Russia, etc.), instead of focusing on 5-10 key citations...

    Automation for website data scraping

    Thanks! I'm not into coding much. Is there a cheap tool that can do this? I don't mind paying a small monthly fee to get it done automatically with no hassle. It's crazy that I can't find one. I need to track competitor content from several competitors every month to see if they change prices...

    Automation for website data scraping

    I'm sure this was discussed, but the bottom line is that we need to track competitors, not just get a list and check each one manually. We need something that gathers the data automatically, like scraping websites. Any suggestions?
