DeepSEOAnalysis is the complement for audit depth: a free, no-signup technical audit covering 80+ checks, real CrUX Core Web Vitals, structured data validation, internal link graph analysis, and a GEO score for AI-search visibility. No trial, no account, shareable via URL.
At a glance
The useful answer is not “which tool is best?” It is which tool fits the job you need done this week.
| Criterion | Competitor | DeepSEOAnalysis |
|---|---|---|
| Free access | Raven Tools offers a 7-day free trial with full feature access. After the trial, a paid subscription is required — plans start around $39/month for one user and one domain. No permanent free tier for audits. | Complete site audit is free with no signup, no email gate, and no trial expiry. All check results, severities, and fixes are visible on every crawl. |
| Primary use case | Raven Tools is built for SEO agencies: white-label reporting, multi-client management, rank tracking, backlink analysis, site auditor, social reporting, and call tracking — all wrapped in client-facing dashboards. The reporting workflow is the core value. | DeepSEOAnalysis is audit-focused: 80+ technical and on-page checks, real CrUX Core Web Vitals, structured data validation, internal link graph analysis, and AI visibility scoring — without the agency reporting layer. |
| AI visibility / GEO | Raven Tools does not include AI-citation readiness features. No checks for llms.txt presence, AI crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot), FAQPage schema eligibility, or content structure for AI answer engine retrieval. | GEO score covers all five AI visibility signals: AI crawler access, llms.txt, FAQPage/HowTo schema, question-heading ratio (≥20%), and content chunkability (avg section ≤400w). |
| Core Web Vitals | Raven Tools integrates PageSpeed Insights data in its site auditor. Scores are based on Lighthouse lab simulation — not real CrUX field data from actual Chrome users visiting the site. | Real Google CrUX field data — actual Chrome users, 28-day aggregate. Pass/fail against Good/Needs Improvement/Poor thresholds for LCP, INP, and CLS. This is the data Google uses for ranking. |
| Shareable reports | Raven Tools' core feature is white-label client reporting: branded dashboards, scheduled PDF reports, and custom domain report portals for agencies. Sharing is designed for the agency-client relationship. | Every audit has a public shareable URL. Paste into a GitHub issue, Slack, or email — the recipient sees the full report with no account required. |
| CMS-specific fixes | Raven Tools audit recommendations follow standard SEO guidance. Fix instructions aren't CMS-aware — they don't reference plugin settings, theme files, or CMS-specific paths. | WordPress and Shopify-aware: fix instructions name the specific plugin setting, template file, or CMS-specific path rather than generic guidance. |
| Best fit | Digital marketing agencies that need white-label client reporting, multi-project dashboards, branded PDF reports, and integrated rank tracking + backlink data in an agency-workflow-oriented platform. | Developers, in-house SEO teams, and founders who need a complete ungated technical and AI-visibility audit with real CrUX data, CMS-specific fixes, and a shareable URL — without agency overhead. |

FAQ
Raven Tools offers a 7-day free trial with full feature access. After the trial, a paid subscription is required — plans start around $39/month. There's no permanent free tier for site audits. DeepSEOAnalysis is permanently free for the complete audit with no account required and no trial that expires.
Raven Tools is specifically built for agencies: white-label reporting, custom domain report portals, multi-client management, and scheduled branded PDF reports are its core features. If agency client reporting is your primary need, Raven Tools is purpose-built for that workflow. DeepSEOAnalysis's Agency plan ($89/mo) covers 25 sites with shareable URLs and white-label workflows, but without the full agency dashboard that Raven Tools provides.
No. Raven Tools is a traditional SEO reporting and management platform — it doesn't include AI-citation readiness features. It doesn't check llms.txt presence, AI crawler access, FAQPage schema, or content structure for AI answer engine retrieval. DeepSEOAnalysis includes a dedicated GEO score covering all five AI visibility signals.
Both target agencies, but with different emphases. Raven Tools is stronger on white-label reporting workflows and has a lower price point. Semrush is stronger on keyword data, competitive intelligence, and a larger backlink database. For pure reporting automation and client dashboards, Raven Tools is often preferred; for research-heavy SEO work, Semrush wins. Neither includes AI visibility scoring or real CrUX field data in their audit modules.
