Advanced Web Ranking in 2011 – A Happy Ending and A Fresh New Start

You’d think that with all the snow the new year started with, we’d be out skiing, having a snow ball fight or making snow men.

But no, we’re working like crazy and we love it!

That’s because we ended last year with bold plans for 2012, and we wouldn’t want to waste any minute but start making it happen.

So, while my colleagues developers are heating up the keyboards writing code, I thought it would be great to make a “wordy” recap of all the code they’ve been writing for the past year.

Turning AWR Into A Genuine Ranking API

Integrating a new software solution in big companies, with an already established business background, is always a challenge. There are lots of things to consider: compatibility with the existing solutions, impact on the workflow, new learning curve for users and so on.

Likewise, software integrators in SEO agencies and large brands, that have their own SEO teams, tend to overthink even the smallest change into their giant system’s equilibrium.

This happens especially with companies using in-house developed solutions, spread across all departments. Often, even if they really like the functionalities of a new SEO software they just learned about,  the decision is to sacrifice the benefits that tool would bring only to avoid rethinking their entire workflow.

But, what if they could just grab those benefits directly into their customized systems?

Get Google Location and Universal Search results into your own dashboards

Imagine that!

With Advanced Web Ranking 8.7, you can export rankings and enjoy the benefits of powerful SEO features within the familiar work frame of your own interface.

And the best thing about this is that, since AWR is a desktop based application, you get all the data whenever you need it, without depending on the update frequency of an external web service.

The Fresh New Look of Advanced Web Ranking

Fresh, surprising, and finally out of the box!

We started the adventure about 6 months ago, with a Sunday afternoon discussion between old friends. As everything in the SEO world grows and changes continuously, we felt it was about time for good old AWR to change its looks and put on some new fancy clothes.

So we took our time and thoroughly analyzed the impact of major design changes on the application usability. In a few weeks, our idea became a viable project, challenging both for us and for our customers.  Designers, developers, testers and a nice coffee machine joined in a common effort to improve an already established seo software solution.
