What do you like best about gShift?

The reports are the best looking reports. Clean, professional. My clients seem to like them.

Need to know if Analytics reporting will use a Filter View. We use https://www.analytics-toolkit.com/ to filter out analytics referrer spam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gShift?

A bit confusing in the admin area.

Example. I choose a client > go to Web Presences > Reports (In the top menu bar) > I cant' generate a report from here unless I have a Kluster setup (I don't).

If I want a report, I need to click on "Reports" in the blue area to the right. Just a bit confusing for me and when training an employee.

Just think it can be fine tuned a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering gShift:

I use it in conjunction with SEMRush. It's not necessarily one or the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Showing clients how our service benefit them!

The reports help the most.

Need a way to get reports on Social Media paid Advertising! If they're there, I don't see it. Facebook's Advertising reports are terrible and this would be a huge help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about gShift?

So much to like! Competitor analysis so easy and impressive to clients, keyword research based on actual Google Analytics and Google keyword data (to suggest their next best blog to do!) Saves hours of my life not running glitchy keyword tracking tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gShift?

I wish that the entry-level tier product allowed me to customize the report I send to my clients. It's a touch generic, and I know that it's really just a few fields that could solve this and allow me to send "Hey, here's how your site is going " reports to my clients that looked like I actually sent them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves tons of time vs. having my staff go hunt down ideas for next blog pieces or keyword-phrase-target-SEO work in Google Analytics and hand-tabulate that vs. how the client is doing on a certain keyword phrase. Fun to use, makes our lives more fun, bring huge benefit for the client! Like the tracking tool where we put in our activities (just don't have time to enter all that). Automated reports are great. Helps me charge more per client per month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about gShift?

I like the weekly report evaluation of each of my customer digital properties. Also I like the site audit to help better support our SEO strategies. There are many other areas that also help you like the social media and the comparison with other competition. The keyword follow is a great tool also. Now we are going after the campaign part and we hope it will be as good as the others parts of the tool. We are very exited to continue workking with Gshift. They keep improving with new offering every year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gShift?

I can not single out any dislike. It is a great product and company. The only dislike for many administrator is that the reports are too big and too many technical terms for their likes so they would like a dashborad in from to tell them in just one page what is the best way to go. That will let them know rigth away the course of action. It is dificult to get to use all the diferent parts from the tool but even with small part of it you get your money woth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering gShift:

Use the product and try every area. Do not think everything will be automatic. You need to know what you are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving my SEO strategy for my costumers and also a weekly report of the performance from their digital properties. Also comparing with their competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about gShift?

Fantastic tool for today's digital world! The keyword function and Kurls have been invaluable in getting our firm's internal digital strategy into play. We were so behind before being introduced to Gshift. Huge competitive advantage, and we are getting closer every day to building Google authority for our firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about gShift?

Nothing major - there are some minor nuisances when creating Kurls, such as:

- Inability to delete previously created Kurls

- Engagement metrics reporting: On the Engagement Metrics tab, when we select a kurl from the “Engagement by kontextURL” list, we are able to see that specific kurl’s engagement timeline, unique clicks, engagement by day/time, engagement by geographic distribution. However, when I select “create PDF” in the top right hand corner, it does not convert the reporting for this specific kurl. Instead, it creates compiled PDF report with missing information

- The tags are somewhat overwhelming when creating Kurls (so many to choose from, and haven't figured out the functionality yet) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is gShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Improved Google authority for who we are and what we do

- Greater digital presence

- Uncovering the content that resonates best with different readers / visitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think I've optimized the tool fully yet, really just a question of having the time to invest into the training that is provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
