Buying
How easy it is for a team to reach value relative to pricing, setup complexity, and required expertise.

Moz publishes a large marketer-trust claim, but it is marketing evidence rather than an audited active-customer count.
The official product page says 500,000 marketers trust Moz Pro: https://moz.com/products/pro
Semji
Named customer logos show real adoption, but the official site does not publish a numeric customer or user total.

Ease of use and autonomous level
Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.
