I’ve actually dabbled with GSA Search Engine Ranker in the past, and you’re spot on—it’s still a beast if handled correctly. The trick, as you mentioned, is balancing automation with control. I’ve seen people blast thousands of links overnight and then wonder why their rankings tank. Personally, I treat GSA as part of a broader link-building ecosystem—using it mainly for T2/T3 work while keeping my Tier 1 clean and manual.

And yes, proxies and indexing are non-negotiable. Without them, you’re basically running blind. I’ve also found that mixing in natural anchors (brand + naked URLs) keeps things looking organic.

By the way, for managing all the link lists, keyword spreadsheets, and tracking results, I’ve been using a lightweight but super-reliable setup on my ASUS Vivobook AMD Ryzen 5 8GB RAM 512GB SSD 16 inch laptop — it’s been a solid workhorse for SEO automation tasks.
