I've been in web development and SEO for about 25 years. Over the past 8 years Screaming Frog has been one of the tools I use the most in both website migration and SEO. Being able to customize the website scrape and pull in just the information needed to accomplish a task is invaluable. I can honestly say it has saved me hours and hours of time when compared to other tools on the market.

Screaming Frog - An SEO page crawler and scraper that works to audit your site and provide visibility with real-time analytics and updates. Its services find broken links, audit redirects, analyze page titles and metadata, discover duplicate content, extract data with xpath, review robots and directives, generate XML sitemaps, crawl JavaScripts Websites, integrate with GA GSC and PSI, Visualise Site Architecture. As a SEO and Content Writer at Cape & Bay Marketing, I found that Screaming Frog is definitely a tool for the more experienced SEO marketer when compared to other software. While SEMrush offers many tips and advice, this program gives you the tools, access, and data and lets you do with it what you will. It’s sitemap and integration features allow for a lot of customization and in-depth data gathering.
