Mutagen

Mutagen will be useful for copywriters, marketers, webmasters, and SEO specialists. I recommend paying attention to this service, as I use it quite often and believe there is no simpler tool for finding competitive keywords. To start checking, you need to register and top up your balance, and then everything is quite straightforward. There is a detailed instruction and an FAQ section for beginners. You enter your query, and after the system analyzes it, you receive a brief report that shows the competition level of the query (based on the analysis of the top 30 Yandex sites), the number of views, and the number of long-tail keywords (not exact matches for the query). The lower the competition level, the easier it is to get into the top. If the competition is high (for example, 20-25), it's better to use long-tails with a lower value. The service is paid, but it's worth it; I recommend it.

Overall, the service is decent, but it has its drawbacks. Firstly, it is paid. Of course, 30 rubles for 100 checks may seem like a small amount, but when it comes to thousands of checks, the total becomes significant. Secondly, I sometimes experience issues with the service freezing, and I have to wait. Thirdly, you cannot test the service without registration. Moreover, the free 20 checks are only available after topping up your balance. Fourthly, analyzing the level of competition can only be done without considering the region. Despite all these nuances, I occasionally use Mutagen, but I can't rate it higher than 4. I hope for further development of the project and request that discounts for regular customers be considered.

The service is very convenient and useful, its main advantage is that it shows the level of competition for various queries. To get your site on the first page of Yandex and attract many visitors, it's important to choose keywords with a competition level of up to 10. The more of these low-competition keywords you use, the better your chances of making it to the top. 100 checks cost 30 rubles. You can top up your account via WebMoney, Yandex Wallet, or bank card. There are also 20 free checks available for testing the service. Overall, I highly recommend giving it a try; it’s truly a helpful tool.

For those who are already working with this company or planning to start a partnership, it's worth paying attention. I encountered that their algorithm provides incorrect data. In customer support, I gave an example where the algorithm showed a competition level of 2 for a keyword, but in reality, if you enter that keyword in Yandex, you can see that all the sites in the title contain it. This indicates that it's impossible to reach the top for that keyword. Mutagen acknowledged their mistake and refunded me all the money I spent on using their service. They deleted my account to cover up the traces of the checks. It's unknown how long Mutagen has been deceiving users in this way. I recommend everyone to stand up for their rights. Mutagen should be held accountable for the errors of their algorithm and refund all clients. Be careful, friends. Here’s a small selection of keywords that show competition levels of 1-2-3, but in reality, you won't make it to the top with them: "DIY parquet board installation step-by-step guide" 1, "which side to lay vapor barrier towards insulation" 3, "vapor barrier for ceilings in wooden floors" 2, "can you glue wallpaper on water-emulsion paint" 2. Demand a refund from them! This is a scam!

The service not only allows you to find suitable keywords for your website but also analyzes the level of competition for each of them. This is its main advantage over Wordstat, and it is significantly easier to use than AdWords. Competition is rated on a scale: if it falls between 5 and 10, it indicates low competition, while values above 20-25 indicate high competition, and it's better to avoid such keywords as getting into the top results will be much harder. The service also offers the opportunity to test it with 20 free checks, but with one condition – the checks become available only after topping up your balance. This is done to prevent abuse by bots, which is quite justified. The prices for checks are around 30 kopecks, and within a week you can check the same keyword without any charges. However, for a comprehensive analysis, a significant amount may be required, up to several hundred rubles, but this allows you to understand the level of competition for keywords and choose the most effective ones for promoting your website.

This resource is primarily aimed at optimizers who are looking to save time when selecting keywords. As for marketers and copywriters, I'm not sure how beneficial this tool is for them. The copywriter receives keywords from the optimizer, so it all comes down to the SEO specialist or the website owner who promotes it themselves. By the way, I recommend that the latter pay attention to this resource. Here's what I was able to get from it: - keywords based on a given word; - checking queries from a list; - indirect matches for a word. There are a few more features that I haven't used. You can work on multiple projects simultaneously. The services are paid, and to activate them, you need to top up your balance. Of course, registration is required beforehand. After registration, a free trial version of Mutagen is available, but with a daily limit on searches and selections. This is, in general, expected since the resource does not provide unlimited and free access to search engines. It can't be said that the service stands out particularly among competitors. It's just another tool with a specific specialization. In my opinion, it's quite decent.

Recently, I learned about this service and started working with it as part of a marketing project at an online university. I am pleased that working with this service is very easy, and getting the hang of it is not difficult at all. Based on the entered search query, various keyword variations are displayed, along with their frequency of appearances across all regions and specific regions, the number of results in the output, the minimum bid for contextual advertising, as well as top advertisers and their ads. The service is available on a free plan, which allows it to be used, for example, for one project or as a supplementary tool. It has features such as a phrase combinator, duplicate processing, mask filtering, as well as a character and word counter. This is a good set of capabilities that can be expanded if needed.

I paid for the services, several days have passed, but the service is not functioning. Instead of the website, there is only a blank page, and I can't find any contact information. This is a scam, the money was wasted. Not a single message or warning has been received. I had used this service for many years, and now it just stopped working. Customers are left without support.
