Long Tail Pro
Long-tail keyword research tool (shut down June 2024)
Retired
Long Tail Pro appears to be discontinued or shut down — Permanently shut down on June 5, 2024. The domain now hosts unrelated content (an insurance/claims firm theme); any live pricing or signup pages on it are stale. This page is kept as an archive record and is excluded from search engines.
About
Long Tail Pro was a focused keyword research tool built around low-competition long-tail discovery: enter a head keyword and it returned up to 400 long-tail phrases with search volume, CPC, and its proprietary Keyword Competitiveness (KC) score, plus SERP-level metrics for the top-10 results. It added rank tracking and a small site audit module. It permanently shut down on June 5, 2024 — confirmed by multiple independent sources; founder Spencer Haws sold it in 2016, a later owner mismanaged it, and the domain now hosts unrelated content. Pricing figures still circulating on review sites are stale (pre-2023).
