Hi, I'm Vincent, CEO at ContentKing 👋 Over the past two years we've been working like crazy to develop what we call Next-generation SEO Auditing. Before founding ContentKing, my co-founder Steven and I ran an SEO agency. We noticed that as websites grew bigger and more complex, the rate of unexpected changes and problems that went undetected would skyrocket. The usual weekly or monthly audit and reporting cycle was unable to keep up and catch major problems in time. That's why we built ContentKing. While traditional auditing crawlers take a passive approach (start a crawl and wait until the data comes in), ContentKing is proactive. It monitors your website continuously and as soon as it detects problems or major changes it alerts you. What's more, ContentKing makes it super easy to track changes like newly added or removed pages as well as changes within pages. We wanted to build an app that would be a pleasure to work with. One that would automate whatever it could, and would make whatever manual analysis that remained as simple and fun as possible. And things are constantly developing around here, with features being released every week. All the same, we felt it's time to show the Product Hunt community what we built and get your honest feedback. So take it for a spin and let us know what you think. We'll be here all day to answer your questions and comments :) Cheers, Vincent + the ContentKing team

@vincent_io Hi, Vincent. I've used Content King a bit but I didn't go in too deep. What killer feature I might have missed? What would you recommend us to check out?
Vincent van Scherpenseel
@di_ry Hi Igor, thanks for reaching out! :) We're the only ones doing Content Change Tracking and Alerting at this scale, so my suggestion would be to check that out :) PS: let me know if your existing trial expired, happy to unlock of course :)

ContentKing is a no brainer if you want to make sure your websites runs flawlessly and without (SEO) flaws. You can have a good website, but without solid SEO your website will be good at best and not great. ContentKing can help you (your website) become great!

Pros:

Solid product / Great UI / Fast updates / Awesome support / Good price

Cons:

None

Vincent van Scherpenseel
Thanks for the awesome review Benny! :)

Been using this for quite a while on a project website and it works incredibly to deliver insight into what has changed, what is broken and more - it has been developed by an SEO team so its a content marketing SEO tools first which is exactly what was needed. Love the fact it always crawls!

Pros:

- fast, continuous updates

- tracking of improvement

- good team behind it who know what they are doing

- pricing

Cons:

nothing significant, most issues I have identified are on the roadmap now which is positive - that said its still early days

Steven van Vessum

I have to say I know a fair few SEOs that are starting to rely heavily on the insights this product gives, the real-time analysis and monitoring makes it possible for them to scale their workload.
Vincent van Scherpenseel
@davidiwanow Hey David, thank you very much, great to hear! :)

Content King is slowly becoming one of my favorite tools in my arsenal of SEO tools. When you’re managing a large site, or even a series of them, it’s really exceptional. The alerts are great.
Steven van Vessum
@fighto Hi Paul, that's great to hear. We're all about winning the hearts and minds of our customers so if you feel something's missing or needs changing, please let us know!

I'd recommend Contentkings if you are looking for an easy way to scale site auditing. The tool does some really great and unique checks like finding out which pages are missing from the sitemap. I also loved the feature to find out missing (visual) analytics from pages.

Pros:

Unique and advanced technical analyses, easy to use interface

Cons:

The pricing structure is not based on a flat 'per site' but instead on number of pages which can be hard to calculate

Steven van Vessum
Thanks for the kind words Martijn! As for the pricing structure: I understand what you mean. I've passed your feedback on to the product team so they know about it.
Logan Honeycutt
This looks awesome. Can't wait to give it a try.
Steven van Vessum
@growwithlogan Thanks Logan, feel free to take ContentKing for a spin. You can create a free trial account yourself, no strings attached. Let us know if you have any questions!
Logan Honeycutt
@stevenvvessum Do you guys have a public roadmap available?
Steven van Vessum
@growwithlogan Hi Logan, we don't have it publicly available but I can share it with you if you could send over your email then we can get in touch :)

The ContentKing software has grown in its value immensely since I first came on as a beta customer.

The interface is super user friendly and email alerts for any potentially concerning changes the real-time crawler finds is so cool. If you act on the email alerts CK stops any technical SEO disasters before they ever happen!

Pros:

This is as close to a Google real time crawl emulator as you'll get!

Cons:

Some terminology takes a little bit of understanding/learning

Vincent van Scherpenseel
Thanks for the nice words Pete! It would be great if you could share the specific terms that can be improved (we're always learning!). Please drop me a message here or via email at vincent@contentkingapp.com :)
Åke Bendel
This tool is interesting, do it have any API for adding 100x domains, get audit score etc. We have a backend handling all customer sites.
Steven van Vessum
@akesoft Hi Åke, yes we sure have an API! Can you email me at steven@contentkingapp.com so we can get in touch?
Åke Bendel
Steven van Vessum
@contentkingapp @akesoft Great, will get in touch with you!
Axel Fredrik Hansson

Been using it for several months and really impressed so far. Just being able to check changes over time makes it worth it alone.

Pros:

Instant notifications if someone goes wrong. The ability to actually have a historic overview of changes are great.

Cons:

A bit clunky UI but it's continuously improved from what I've seen.

Vincent van Scherpenseel
Hi Axel, thank you for your feedback! :) If you have any suggestions to improve the UI, please drop me an email at vincent@contentkingapp.com or share it here :)
