We recently hosted Azeem Ahmad, Areej AbuAli and Crystal Carter for an amazin’ hour of SEO magic. Video below.
In the session, they recommended a bunch of tools, so outside of our normal write-up, we thought we’d also do a special post just for the resources they recommended.
Here they are!
Keyword Insights: Perfect for getting inside your audience’s head. Know what they’re searching for, so you can create content that actually answers their questions. Helps you pick out low-hanging fruit in the keyword world.
Screaming Frog: The Swiss Army knife for site audits. It crawls your website to find issues like broken links, missing tags, and more. Fix these, and you’re already ahead of the game.
Site Bulb: Another top-notch crawler, but with a more user-friendly interface. Great visualizations make it easier to understand what’s wrong and how to fix it. Good for those not super tech-savvy.
SEO Monitor: Track your keyword rankings and get insights into how you’re performing over time. It’s like a health check-up, but for your website’s visibility.
Google Search Console: The bread and butter. Shows you how Google sees your site, where you’re showing up in search results, and points out any glaring issues. No brainer.
The Wix Blog: More than just a blog platform; it’s got built-in SEO tools that help you optimize as you go. Good for people who want a one-stop shop.
SEO Pro Chrome Extension by Kristina Azarenko: This extension gives you quick SEO insights right in your browser. Think of it as having an SEO consultant looking over your shoulder but without the hourly rate.
SEM Rush: Not just for content assessment, but a full-blown toolkit for competitive analysis, keyword research, and more. It’s like a marketing multi-tool.
Loom: Video’s where it’s at, and Loom makes it easy. Record high-quality videos of yourself or your screen, perfect for tutorials or client pitches.
Audacity: Need to pump out some podcast episodes or audio snippets? Audacity is simple but powerful, making it easy to record and edit audio without a steep learning curve.
