The backstory
SE Ranking is a competent all-rounder: rank tracking, audits, competitor research, white-label reports. Nothing about it is bad. The pressure is structural — AI Overviews absorb informational clicks, agencies are being asked to justify SEO retainers, and Search Console gives clients the same click data free. The white-label agency reporting is the part still worth paying for.
