SEOForge vs Distribb

Both tools find keywords, write articles and publish them to your site. Distribb adds a backlink exchange, AI search tracking and Google Business posts. SEOForge is the simpler option: it starts at $29 a month and tracks your rankings and Google Analytics alongside your content.

Last checked against Distribb's public pricing and feature pages in November 2026.

Watch our Distribb review

Our founder, Ion-Alexandru, paid for Distribb and walked through it: signing up, the content plan and the first article it wrote.

Published on YouTube, April 2026.

What we found

Select a time to watch that part of the video.

  1. Sign-up goes straight to the plans

    Signing up with Google took us straight to the pricing page, and the button took about two minutes to load.

  2. Setup asks almost nothing

    It didn't ask about our goals, our audience or how we wanted articles written before it started planning content and backlinks.

  3. The content plan took over 30 minutes

    The app suggested about 15 minutes; after 30 it was still loading. The keywords in the finished one-month plan looked reasonable.

  4. The first article took about 45 minutes

    It had a table of contents but no key takeaways, an AI-generated featured image, and a few spacing errors.

  5. It embedded a competitor's YouTube video

    One of the YouTube videos added to the article came from a competitor of the business it was written for.

  6. No sources, a short FAQ and almost no links

    The article had no sources and no internal links, and its only external links were two to Wikipedia. Distribb's site now describes source-backed articles with citations, so this may have changed since our test.

Read the transcript

Hey, guys. So today I'm going to be testing Distribb, and I'm actually going to be subscribing to the platform and paying for it, so you guys can watch this video and you don't have to subscribe to it, and then you can decide whether this platform is for you or not. And if you wait until the end of the video, I'm, showing my results after three months of using Distribb on one of my websites. Let's go. So let's get started with Distribb. I will join with Google. wow. It takes me to the pricing package already. Well, talk about love for, for your users, you know, It's really taking a while to load.

So I just signed up. After waiting for like two minutes for that button to load, I will type in my website. Let's hope it doesn't take too much time to load. And then just assume I don't have a platform right now. Watch while you audit your website. I'll watch it later. And that's it. I mean, this is crazy. So they no goals.

They don't ask me what my goals are. They don't ask me what I want to, achieve with the website. Any kind of guidelines for the articles. They just take me to a website and they're saying the articles are being set up and the backlinks are being planned. Okay, let's check the calendar. We're building your content plan. first of all, this still looks vibe coded. Super, super vibe coded. I don't think I'll trust some people to, you know, take care of my startup's growth, with such a platform.

And I mean, this is hard coded right here. There's no, like, it's just a piece of information, nothing special. They are inactive. Okay, I'm confused. Like, there's really nothing to do here. They didn't ask me any questions. They tried to upsell you on an accelerator, of course. 90 articles per month. Talk about a way to get flagged by Google for spam immediately.

Human competitor analysis. 3x the traffic potential. No, it's 3x spam reported potential, covering 3x more keywords. Yeah. So one thing that Google really cares about, and the reason why I'm making fun about this is they really do care a lot about E-E-A-T. So Google really cares about one thing. E-E-A-T. And what does it stand for? Experience, expertise, authority and trustworthiness.

So if you're publishing 30 or 90 articles per month, so that's three articles per day, more or less. I mean, it's impossible for like, let's say a small startup, an SMB, even bigger companies to just cover so many keywords, it's literally will be marked as spam and you will have zero traffic. You'll literally need to buy a new domain if you want to do SEO or get traffic from, ChatGPT or Claude ever again. Yeah, this is just crazy.

And then settings. I mean nothing, Nothing special. Integrations. What integrations? They have, Google Search Console. No articles yet. Nothing. Well, I'll be right back when this is finished. 30 minutes later and it's still loading. This is definitely not 15 minutes. So after a while the content is finally here. So I have a content plan here, it seems like for a month.

And I see some of the keywords. The keywords are looking. Okay, let's try. I mean one of the, one of the articles generating. Well, I guess I'll have to wait another half an hour to see it. So I'll see you guys in a minute. It's been about 12 minutes and it's still generating. This platform really loves taking its time. So the article is finally ready after about 45 minutes of waiting.

And it has some mistakes. I mean there's no space here and they generate as a featured image. It's an AI generated stock image. I think this is like the worst kind of stock image to use because people can tell it's AI generated and then they lose interest in the article immediately because they think, this is just an AI generated article. It doesn't have any human touch. So I am telling you from experience, this is the kind of, article that would just not have anyone engaged.

I saw they have table of contents, which is fine. They're missing one crucial thing which is key takeaways. So from research across the SEO industry and our own research, when you include top stats, insights, unique data from the article, if it has any, this one obviously won't, at the top of your article, in the top 400 words, roughly, you get way more AI citations. And this is because ChatGPT and other AI crawlers tend to cite the top 400 words, the content in the top 400 words the most.

So this one doesn't have it. They just have a table of contents and then the article itself, I mean on just the skim, it looks fine. They include some YouTube videos. What's funny is they include YouTube video from, competitor. Really not great. again, another AI-generated stock image. I really don't like those. It just shows low quality and then they have a conclusion. No sources, the FAQs are quite little.

and then there's no. Actually there is no internal linking and no external linking. I mean there's just the Wikipedia 2 links. I'm struggling to see space here. And there should be a space. Can't even edit it. edit with I can edit the article. Well, that's incredible.

yeah, no external links. I mean there is no way that Google will see this as like a, well put together, well thought out, well researched piece of content. As I was saying earlier, trustworthiness, authority, expertise, experience, there's nothing here. When you generate content, with just a ChatGPT wrapper like this one, the content will just be slop. It will just show the same con, the same information over and over again. Right.

And that's not what ranks on Google and ChatGPT right now. What really ranks on Google and ChatGPT is when you have unique data. And I'll show you exactly how to do that in a second. But what's interesting is I've actually been trying Distribb on one website that I have, and in three months of using it, I managed to achieve 38 clicks and almost 3K impressions with an average position of 75.6. I mean, that's, that's really terrible. three months, 38 clicks.

I'm pretty sure if you were to do SEO manually and just publish like one article, I don't know, every five days, right. You would get more than this. So it just shows like, this is, this is terrible. And, and then I've been using this other tool and disclaimer, I am the founder of that tool and we bring in over 10 years of combined SEO experience and more recently a lot of research around ChatGPT, Claude and so on. And we've been trying our own tool on a project in the same niche as the one that we used Distribb on.

The platform is called SEOForge.ai and within three months. But realistically, we've been using the platform for around two months in the week now. We got 10 times more clicks than Distribb and 10 times more impressions and the average position is 6.8. So we've been ranking way higher, getting way more traffic. And because of this, we've also been getting way, way more leads. And why, why is this happening? Well, let me show you how the platform works. So this is an article that I've generated. We have the same content plan feature as Distribb.

The only difference is that we build topic clusters. So, so one thing that our research shows is that Google, ChatGPT, any other search engine, traditional or AI, they really care that you go deep into your topic. So let's imagine that, I don't know, you're an SMB that is selling essential oils. Let's say if you start writing about like yoga, for example, that's not really Your topic, right? You should be writing about yours, about the positive effects of oils, negative effects, what you should be watching out for.

So we really go deep within that research and, and what we try to do compared to any other platform is we try to bring forward unique data. We realized from our own research, analyzing over 700,000 blog posts and articles, that the one thing that separates just average content from great content is how unique and insightful that piece of content is. So we scrape many other websites, we have connections to different databases where they have aggregated data. we look at research papers and because of that we create articles that are truly insightful and fully optimized for SEO.

Each article comes with a meta title, a meta description meant to increase your click through rate. We also generate on brand charts as well as like images, to represent the data. I mean this is so useful because you can get traffic from the article itself and then when the image gets indexed you will get article from Google image search for people searching that too. And many times ChatGPT and Claude, in order to support the data point, they show you images so you can have images here that portray those data points.

We show key takeaways. Like I said, this data is very likely to be cited by AI and then we just have an article. We don't use AI generated stock images, we use real stock images or charts, infographics and so on. So things that add value. And also one thing that we take a lot of pride in is we actually do a lot of internal linking. So Google, when they see a website that has a good structure of internal linking, it's easier for the crawlers to actually go through the website and understand its structure, its content while we do that and we present a lot of unique data.

So unlike any other platform, we like to make our articles super insightful because this is based on research and it just shows that the click through rate, the time people spend on this platform and the likelihood that they are to be converted into leads is just way higher. And then we also have FAQs which is just extremely important in general. And at the bottom we have sources. And why is this super important? Because when you show that your article was not just some kind of, you know, AI generated slop, but there was research that was gone into it, then Google as well as human readers will understand that, okay, those people actually went, researched the topic, found the unique angle and created this piece of content that's genuinely valuable.

It's not just something that you know, could even have this information fake Fake stats, fake data. So that's super, super important. And another feature that our users absolutely love. And I'm using this platform every single day for many websites. And one feature that I absolutely love, you can just take any text, you will see it right here, selected text. And then you can ask the AI chatbot to do text tasks for you within the article. So you don't have. If you want to edit this, even though it doesn't really need any editing, you can just go ahead, ask it to do some research for you, just change some of the wording, maybe expand on a point, and then you can just publish it.

With one click, you can connect your website, publish it, or you can export, you can preview it as well. And if you want to generate images, like I was saying, we have the stock photos, you can upload your own image from a URL, or you can start creating charts. You know, we have a bunch of different charts, or you can just start generating flowcharts, infographics, comparison, a lot of different images. So this is the difference between a platform like Distribb and a platform like SEOForge. We really care about your growth and we really try to make something that would be insightful to your potential customers because that's what real growth is.

You need to build something valuable. And I mean the data speaks for itself. This is not even one of the more, successful websites that we have, but it shows compared to Distribb, the results are just 10 times better. And again, unlike Distribb, which offers a three day free trial, we offer a seven day free trial. So we give you more time to test it out, see if we are fit for you because we really care about your growth and you, your ability to get more leads, customers, signups and so on well guys, that's it for me.

Thank you so much for watching. If you have any questions or if you'd like to test out the platform, SEOForge.ai, there's a 20% for lifetime discount code in the description of the video. Go check it out and have a great day. Let's grow.

See visitors and signups, not just clicks

SEOForge brings in both Search Console and Google Analytics, so you can see which articles bring visitors and signups, and ask questions about it in plain English. Distribb shows Search Console data for each article; its site doesn't mention Google Analytics.

More articles for less at the top end

SEOForge Pro is $399 for 100 articles across 5 sites. After its $97 plan, Distribb's next step is Accelerator at $495 for 90 articles, with videos and social posts included.

Every article opens with key takeaways and ends with sources

In our test, Distribb's article had no key takeaways, no sources, a short FAQ and no internal links, although its site now describes source-backed tables and citations. Every SEOForge article opens with key takeaways and ends with an FAQ and a list of sources, with links to your other pages throughout.

Where Distribb is ahead

Distribb includes a backlink exchange (3–5 links a month) and help with link outreach, tracks how AI search answers mention you, and posts to your Google Business Profile and replies to reviews. Its articles run 4,500+ words with source-backed tables, it publishes to Ghost, Notion and GoHighLevel, writes in 150+ languages, and every plan includes calls with the founders.
