Carrot — Pros & Cons

Pros

Fastest-loading website themes in the niche — templates are built around Core Web Vitals from day one
Deep SEO toolkit (keyword discovery, rank tracking, backlink analytics) included at the $149/mo Plus tier
AI content rewrite tool ships with all plans and accelerates evergreen blog publishing at no extra cost
Agency dashboard at $299/mo lets marketing firms manage all client sites from one login with user permissions

Cons

No IDX/MLS search — traditional buyer's agents need a separate portal site; Carrot is built for motivated-seller capture, not property browsing
CarrotCRM is a lightweight free-tier product; growth-stage operations consistently need to add a full-featured CRM like Follow Up Boss
Live-chat support runs weekdays 7 am–3 pm Pacific only — no phone support and no weekend coverage
Starter plan limits SEO rank tracking to just 3 keywords; meaningful SEO measurement requires upgrading to the $149/mo Plus plan
