Which one is for you
Pick Hike SEO if
- Fits if you run a small business and want SEO done without learning it
- Works for agencies and freelancers reselling SEO under their own name, on Multi-site plans
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no trial, only a 14-day money-back guarantee
- Skip it if your site is on GoDaddy Website Builder, which Kit can't work on
- Tight if you need lots of new content, with one blog post and 3 page optimizations a month
- Watch out: Kit's changes run through a script and only stay while it's installed
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $149 against $89 a month paid yearly upfront ($1,068)
Pick Marketgoo if
- Fits if you own a small business site and want a list of what to fix next
- Works for web hosts adding a white-label SEO tool to their plans
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it first, as there's no free plan or trial, and refunds last 5 days
- Too light for anyone tracking more than 20 keywords or 4 competitors
- Tight if you run several sites, since each one is its own subscription
- Watch out: if you bought through a host, that host bills and supports you, not marketgoo
- Watch out: the site markets only to resellers, and canceling needs 5 days' notice before renewal
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAHike SEOFair | 2.0GPAMarketgooFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CGraded against its listed alternatives, as it's a done-for-you service. Single Site is $89 a month paid yearly upfront ($1,068) or $149 monthly. Dearer than marketgoo or rankingCoach, which leave the work to you, and a bit under Search Atlas, whose agent also applies fixes. | BPro is $23.96 a month per website billed yearly ($29.97 monthly), inside this category's cheapest quarter. The limits are small for the money, though: 20 keywords, 4 competitors and 20 AI page optimizations a month, and each site is a separate subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free: no free plan and no trial. There's a 14-day money-back guarantee instead, which isn't a trial, and yearly plans are paid upfront. | FNothing free on record: no free plan and no trial. Refunds cover 5 days after a first purchase or first renewal, and that's not a trial. |
| Features | CKit plans the work and does it: 3 page optimizations, a blog post and technical fixes a month, Business Profile upkeep, 50+ directory listings and 300 tracked keywords. It does the job for you, but the listing shows how much: 3 pages and one post a month. | CAn audit turned into tasks with instructions, AI title and description suggestions, 20 tracked keywords against 4 competitors, backlink monitoring and PDF reports. The basics for a small site; the gap the listing names is those 20 keywords and 4 competitors. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but the work is done for you: Kit sets the month's plan and you approve changes in one Approval Centre. The one setup step is adding Hike's script to your site. | CNo rating on record. It's written for beginners, with each task explained step by step, but you're doing the tasks yourself, and traffic figures need Google Analytics connected. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, connected to Search Console, Business Profile, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace and Framer. GoDaddy Website Builder sites aren't supported. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb only, connected to Google Analytics, WordPress and Weebly, and sold through WHMCS by web hosts. There's no API on record and no desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | small businesses that want SEO done for them | a guided SEO to-do list for small sites |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
