FREE SEO TOOL DEMO
Try elev8tor free, with 5 real content scans
The free SEO tool demo gives you 5 real Content Scanner scans on your own pages and a client portal preview that shows what your clients see. Around them sits a full elev8tor workspace with sample data, plus one site of your own with 5 live tracked keywords and a 100-page audit.
Free Demo plan: $0. 5 real scans, one time. Paid data is capped so the demo stays free. Developed by Vertical Web (Houston, since 1998) and Beth Guide.
5 REAL CONTENT SCANNER SCANS
Score your own pages, not a canned example
Most free trials show you a sample report and ask you to imagine it on your site. The demo gives you 5 real scans instead, one time. Paste a URL and its keyword, and the scanner reads the pages Google ranks for that keyword today, reads your page the same way, and returns the full report.
You get the Content score with its target of 70, the entities page one agrees on that your page is missing, the questions answered, partly answered or missing, internal link suggestions with the exact sentence and anchor, and a ranked action plan with the points each fix is worth. It is the same SEO content scanner Vertical Web runs on every client page before it goes live.
Our advice: spend one scan on a page that should bring leads and does not, and one on your best page. The gap between the two reports usually tells you more than any audit.
CLIENT PORTAL PREVIEW
See what your clients see
If you run an agency, the portal is what your client judges you by. The preview opens the portal as a client viewer sees it: your branding, only the modules you tick for that client, and never billing.
Click through it before you put a client in front of it. Turn modules on and off and watch the view change. The details of branded reports and portals are on our white label SEO reporting page.
WHAT THE DEMO INCLUDES
The whole platform, with the meter turned down
Every module is open: rank tracking, keyword research, site audits, competitors, the interactive site map, AI visibility, the work queue and reports. You see the same screens as a paying customer. The caps below limit how much paid data you pull, not which SEO tools you can open.
5 real Content Scanner scans
Scan your own pages, one time. Full reports, not samples.
Client portal preview
See exactly what your clients see when they log in.
1 site
Connect one site of your own alongside the sample workspace.
5 live keywords on your own site
Real rank tracking to position 100, with AI Overview, map pack and featured snippet placements, plus a 100-page audit of your site.
Lists stop at 25 rows
Every report shows its first 25 rows. No exports in the demo.
Unlimited users, free
Invite your team. Everyone shares the demo account's data.
WHY IT IS CAPPED
Search data costs real money for every row
Rankings, keyword volumes, backlinks and SERP snapshots come from paid data providers, and we pay for each lookup. An uncapped free plan would mean paying for full reports on accounts that never upgrade, and those costs would end up in everyone’s price.
Other SEO tools do the same. As listed on Semrush’s pricing page in 2026, a free Semrush account gets 10 requests a day in its research tools, 10 tracked keywords and 100 audit pages; check their site for current limits. Our demo caps sit in the same range, and the 25 row limit is enough to judge the data before you pay for more of it.
SAMPLE WORKSPACE
Meet Summit Ridge Roofing, a business that does not exist
An empty dashboard does not show you much. So the demo opens on a fictional roofing company, Summit Ridge Roofing, with sample rankings, audit issues, a mapped site, leads and reports already in place.
Click through it the way you would a real client. Open an alert and read its How to fix steps. Check which pages the site map marks red. Then switch to your own site, run your real scans and see the same screens with your data.

LEAD TRACKING IS NOT CAPPED
Real lead tracking on your one site
The demo includes full GA4 lead tracking for one site. Forms, phone taps, email taps and orders are tracked with their source and sent to GA4 from the browser and the server, and one click marks them as key events. It is the same connector paid plans use.
WHAT YOU UNLOCK ON A PAID PLAN

Paid plans raise every cap and add exports. Users are unlimited, and so are sites verified in Google Search Console. Every paid plan starts with a 7-day trial, card required.
Data Included
We supply the search data. Starter is $69 a month; Growth, Agency and Agency Plus scale up keywords and research credits. Client dashboards are unlimited on every plan.
Bring Your Own Data
Connect your own data accounts and pay for the software only. BYO Pro is $49 a month; BYO Agency adds full white label. Both include unlimited client dashboards.
Content Scanner credits
Keep scanning with credits on any paid plan, or on their own with Content Scanner only: $1.50 each pay as you go, or a monthly pack. See the SEO content scanner page for what a credit buys.
Compare every limit on the pricing page. Agencies should read about the agency SEO platform, owners about our small business SEO software, and everyone about our AI search optimization process.
