Modern SEO sophisticates (Ahrefs/Semrush better data and velocity), content-first teams (Surfer/Clearscope better), or buyers wanting fastest product velocity.
Buyers tied to Domain Authority reporting (agency contracts referencing Moz DA) or multi-location SEO needs (Moz Local).
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Moz Pro’s product card in our Top 10 SEO Software Platforms for 2026:
- ! Post-Ziff Davis acquisition direction unclear
- ! Link database depth below Ahrefs
- ! Product velocity slowed materially since 2022

- ! Customer support quality declined
