Long Tail Pro Features
Long Tail Pro is built on top of Adobe Air, also known as Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR). This makes Long Tail Pro a web-based software which means you don’t have to install the software to run. It is compatible with all devices on which Adobe Air can be installed, for example, Desktop, Mac, and SmartPhone (Android and iPhone).
With market saturation, identifying your niche in a highly competitive environment is integral for your business. Long Tail Pro offers Competitor Analysis to determine the top keyword they are using to drive traffic to their website. It also aids in figuring out competitor’s strategies for content development.
The Rank Tracker is another feature of Long Tail Pro which allows you to import a seed long-tail keyword and check its rank based on google search in the last 24 hours. You can determine its viability by comparing the results with Google Trends.
An interesting feature of Long Tail Pro is the suggestion of a domain name based on your business and the nature of the content. Long Tail Pro is suitable for both beginners and big companies running multiple projects with its additional log-in feature available in ‘Agency’ and ‘Pro’ subscription modules. In addition to the above-discussed features, it comes with Backlink analysis, Rank analysis, and SERP analysis.
Long Tail Pro Desktop and Mobile Version Features
There isn’t much variation between Desktop and Mobile Version features. Let’s go through some of the common features.
- Include: You can include and exclude keywords for content ideas. For example, instead of writing makeup ideas, you can include a ‘how to’ for generating results related to ‘How to do your own makeup’ and related keyword ideas.
- Note-taking: Both Desktop and mobile applications facilitate note-taking in one space with its’ note-taking feature. This allows all the content to be in one place instead of going back and forth between Evernote or Sticky Notes.
- Number of Words: Use this feature to continue adding keywords, it can go up to suggesting 25 Key Characters.
- Rank Tracker: You can use the Rank Tracker tool to see which words are ranking on different pages of your website on Google’s SERPs. For example, if you are running a blog on sustainable furniture. You can input a variety of search terms such as ‘upcycling’, ‘wood’, and ‘coconut shell lamp’ to see which words are rated the highest according to engagement rate and the number of visitors (the combination is known as Alexa rate). After tracking, you will be able to see which of your blogs are gaining the most attraction. This helps you focus on tasks with the most productive outcome and eliminate the noise.
- Import Keywords: Use Ubersuggest instead of Google Search Engine to generate a list of relevant seed keywords. The reason we are recommending ‘Uber suggest’ is because compared to Google Search Engine, it comes up with a solid list of keywords instead of just suggesting. Long Tail Pro can then generate long-tail keywords suitable for incorporating into your website content.
How Does Long Tail Pro Compare By Features To Its Competitors?

- In addition to Clickstream data, SEMrush offers monetization metrics for your website which LongTail Pro lacks.
