Reporting Errors

Each new version of SEO PowerSuite tools undergoes stringent quality control so errors are quite rare. If you do come across one, please tell us about it as soon as you can. We'll do our best to help you solve it through software settings or issue a prompt fix if it turns out to be a bug.

Most errors can be avoided by simply keeping SEO SpyGlass up-to-date. Even if you don't use the tool very often, please open it once a week and let it update itself (full version history is available here). If your version is several months old, it would be best to reinstall the application.

SEO SpyGlass is equipped with advanced task logging functionality. It lets you easily share information about errors with developers.

Open the project you are having trouble with
Click Help > Send Project To Support
Enter your name and email address we can contact you at. Tell us at what point the error occurred (rebuilding project, publishing reports, updating data etc.).
Proceed further as prompted by the wizard.
