General

Can I use Dragon Metrics on my mobile device? Is there an iOS / Android app?

Dragon Metrics was designed to work well on any size device right inside the web browser. There’s no app to download, just point your browser to https://app.dragonmetrics.com and you’re all set.

Do you provide SEO service? Can you recommend a good SEO agency?

While Dragon Metrics is made by a team of SEO experts, we’re a software company. We concentrate our expertise on making the best SEO tools out there, and therefore do not offer any SEO consulting services.

If you’re looking for an SEO agency, we recommend our sister company, The Egg Company.

Where is Dragon Metrics located?

We have offices in both Hong Kong and New York City. Get in touch!

Can I use Dragon Metrics data in my company’s internal software or reporting dashboards? Do you offer a developer API?

Yes, we offer a developer API. Check out the API documentation and testing sandbox, which makes it easy to get started.

Do you offer an affiliate program?

Yes. Please contact us for details or to sign up.

Plans and Pricing

Do you offer a discount for annual payment?

Absolutely. Annual subscriptions receive a discount equivalent to 2 months free. Visit our pricing page to learn more.

Which payment methods are accepted?

We accept Credit Card, PayPal, and Bank Transfer.

Do you offer any packages larger than Enterprise?

While our pricing page only displays plans tracking up to 10,000 keywords, we have some users tracking almost 1 million keywords. Plans above the Enterprise package come with significant quantity discounts. Contact us for a custom quote just for you.

How do I sign up for a paid subscription?

If you haven’t already, sign up for a free trial account. Once you’re inside the app, there will be a link to subscribe at the top of every page.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my account at any time?

Accounts may be upgraded at any time. We’ll apply a pro-rated credit for any unused time remaining in the current term towards your new plan.

Accounts may also be downgraded at any time, however, no refunds are available for unused time remaining in the current term. Therefore, we recommend waiting until the end of the term (either end of month or end of year, depending on the plan chosen) before downgrading.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. While discounts are available for annual payment, you may pay month-to-month and cancel at any time.

Do you offer your tools independently? I’m only interested in keyword tracking or keyword research.

To bring the most value to our users, plans include all features. No discount are available if you are only interested in certain features. However, you’ll typically find our prices per keyword are still extremely competitive with keyword tracking-only tools.

Plan Features

How many keywords can I track?

Each plan comes with a different number of included keywords. The Starter plan comes with 1,000, while the Enterprise plan comes with 10,000. If you need more than 10,000 keywords, steep discounts are available – please contact us. (We have customers tracking as many as 1,000,000 keywords, so we can handle any volume you need.)

How many sites can I track? What are “Campaigns”?

The number of sites you can track depends on the plan chosen. In general, you can think of a Campaign as one site. However, if you have multiple sites that all share the same keywords, you can add additional sites as competitors instead of creating separate campaigns for them.

Our smallest plan, Starter allows up to 5 simultaneous campaigns, while all plans at Enterprise and above allow unlimited campaigns.

What does “Pages Crawled” mean?

Dragon Metrics will crawl your site twice a month to look for common SEO issues, and to provide analysis on your site’s content. “Pages Crawled” refers to the number of URLs that we will crawl in total each time. (e.g. if the limit is 50,000, this means that we will crawl 50,000 URLs once earlier in the month, and then 50,000 URLs again later in the month). Some plans have a limit on the number of URLs you can crawl per campaign in addition to the total number of URLs crawled over all campaigns.

Please note that redirected URLs and URLs blocked by robots.txt do not count towards this quota.

What are API Credits?

To protect server resources and ensure the fast performance of the Dragon Metrics API, calls are limited a credit system. There is no extra charge for using the API, and your account will be given more than enough credits than you need as long as your API client is behaving correctly and using proper caching techniques.

Credits are replenished automatically each month. If you run out of credits, contact us and we can usually replenish them again at no charge. However, if this happens often, we may require a brief conversation with our support team to make sure you're employing proper caching procedures in your client.

Trials

Do you offer a free trial of the platform?

Yes, we offer a 30-day free trial of the software. No credit card or commitment is required, and trial accounts come with access to all features available in paid subscriptions. Try it for yourself now!

What’s included in the 30-day free trial?

30-day free trial accounts offer every feature available in paid subscriptions. They even come with daily rank tracking. The only difference between the trial and paid account is the number of credits available for each feature. For example, while the Starter account comes with 500 keyword credits, the trial account comes with 200.

Why do you require a company email to sign up for a trial account? Why can’t I use my Gmail account?

We offer free 30-day trials without the need for credit card, payment details, or any sort of obligation, but we require that you use your real company email address to prevent repeated signups and so we can make sure you are who you say you are.

If you want to use your Gmail/Yahoo mail/Hotmail/etc. email address with your Dragon Metrics account, you can still do so. Sign up for the trial with your company email address, then you can change it in your profile after completing the setup process.

If you don’t have a company email address for some reason, but still want to sign up for a trial. Contact us and we’ll get you taken care of.

How do I cancel my trial account?

If at the end of your 30-day trial you decide not to continue with a paid subscription, there’s nothing more that you need to do. Trials will automatically expire after 30 days, and you will not be billed. No credit card or billing information was collected during the trial signup, so you won't ever be charged unless you purchase a subscription.

How often is ranking data updated?

Ranking data is updated either daily or weekly, depending on the plan selected. All trial accounts come with daily ranking updates. Plans listed by default on the pricing page are weekly updates.

Can I track rankings on mobile devices?

Yes, you can track rankings on both desktop and mobile devices.

Reporting

Can I create white-labeled reports with Dragon Metrics?

You can even add external data, such as notes, analysis, images, charts, links, etc. Then you can upload your logo, and view your white-labeled report on a custom white-labeled domain or export to PDF. Learn more about reporting options.

Can I export Dragon Metrics data? What formats are available?

Yes, there are several ways to export Dragon Metrics data to be used in your own reports:

1. HTML– Create beautiful white-labeled reports using our Report Builder that are interactive and responsive (so they look great on mobile devices).
2. PDF– Report Builder reports can be exported as PDFs as well
3. Excel– Export any page’s data to Excel by clicking the “Export to Excel” button above the data table.
4. Google Data Studio– Connectors are available to import your data directly into Google Data Studio.
5. API– A developer API is available to programmatically extract your reporting data to be used for internal dashboards, apps, and more.

Why aren’t CSV file exports available?

Dragon Metrics has deep support for global SEO, and many keywords tracked around the world use non-latin characters. Many of our customers open CSV files using Microsoft Excel, which unfortunately does not handle non-latin characters in CSV files very well, which leads to much confusion. To avoid this issue, we use .xlsx files for data exports.

If you do not have Excel or are having trouble opening these files, we recommend opening them using Google Sheets.
