I’ve reviewed a lot of professional SEO tools over the last 20 years or more. I’ve built my own, too.
Here are my opinions on the tools professionals use and you can too:
Google Search Console
Google Search Console – This is a free web analytics console from Google. GSC (also known as ‘Webmaster Tools’) is a must-have tool set with invaluable insights about your own site and messages about your site health direct from Google.
Connect it with Google Analytics to get the most data about our site you can get (for free).
This is a must-have tool to perform SEO these days:
QUOTE: “You can submit your website and verify it in Google Search Console. The procedure to connect your website is very simple with a little technical knowledge.” Shaun Anderson, Hobo 2020
PageSpeed Insights
Test your load time and Core Web Vitals using Google’s Pagespeed Insights. Run the test, and get a developer immediately on to increasing your scores.
Again, this is a must-have SEO tool in your toolkit.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Screaming Frog SEO Spider (For Mac & PC) is a web crawler tool for analysing the structure of a website.
This is a PC-based site crawler tool for experienced and professional technical SEO and web developers. You can use it to find technical and user experience issues on a website. Beginners can glean a lot of information from it too. This is, in all my years’ experience, my favourite technical SEO tool. This is a paid yearly subscription and well worth it.
It’s a tool for website managers, and web developers. SF spiders a site in a similar way any search engine spider would. You will need to understand technical SEO and have a firm grasp of HTML to get the most from this tool.
It is an excellent program to audit your website from a technical point of view, and with it can promptly collect a lot of the necessary information you need to help optimise your site.
This program is available for PC and Mac. As a Mac user, I’m often confronted with software that slows my mac down a little, so it was a pleasure to see this thing run in the background in a quiet, efficient manner.
Run the spider and it will grab information on your pages. Links, page titles, redirects, 404s, heading tags, status codes, attribute lengths, anchor text, alt text and numbers of internal backlinks, numbers of external links on each page. Quickly identify click depth, see canonical link information or meta-refresh directives. And more.
You can also output this report to CSV.
Screaming Frog spider comes highly recommended for SEO and web designers everywhere. I have used it on small and enormous websites (using a cloud computer to maximise its efficiency).
SF is just about the best SEO software you can buy to investigate site structure and for quick log file analysis IF you are technically minded.
Get a free version too to test it out, before you buy it.
ProRankTracker Rank Tracker Software
Disclosure: “I am an affiliate of ProRankTracker. This review is editorial opinion. This review is not sponsored.” Shaun Anderson, Hobo
You really DO need to use some third-party to analyse your rankings on individual keywords if you want a true idea of how your page performs in Google.
ProRankTracker is a simple, easy-to-use, and accurate cloud-based rank checker suitable for most needs. I use Pro Rank Tracker daily and I am signed up for the API, too. I have been a customer and affiliate of Pro Rank Tracker for almost 10 years now.
SEMrush
Disclosure: “I am an affiliate of SEMrush. This review is editorial opinion. This review is not sponsored.” Shaun Anderson, Hobo
SEMRUSH IS MY FAVOURITE ALL-ONE SEO TOOL for beginners. It is a Site Auditor, Keyword Research & Competitor Analysis Tool.
I have enjoyed using SEMrush for over 10 years.
Semrush is a keyword research tool for, well, professional keyword research, site analysis and competition analysis. This tool does a lot of things. Much more, since I started using it many years ago.This tool lets you see:
- which keywords seem to be popular in your niche,
- related keywords, phrases, and terms you might consider weaving into your content and link building strategies
- gives you an idea (when you aggregate the data) which natural listings in Google are providing competitors unpaid traffic
- lists top-ranking sites competing for those keywords
- shows you on average how much a click on this keyword is worth in Google Adwords (although it would be nice to see that in Sterling (£) rather than dollars
- illustrates how competitive this term is (in Adwords at least, by number of competition)
- how many (on average) times the keyword or phrase is typed into the UK version of Google
- you can get a cool firefox plugin as well and export research data to usual formats
- …and more
You can really do some neat stuff if you are a keyword monkey.
SEMrush has keyword databases for US, UK, Spain, Germany, France, Spain and the rest of the world.
The beauty of SEMrush is that it is a great place for beginners to start looking at the performance of their site versus competitor sites.
Redirect Path
Redirect Path for Chrome is a highly recommended on-page tool and valuable little plugin that can help you quickly identify the number and type of redirects if any, that brought you to a page. This is incredibly useful for page migrations and site clean-ups. I use this little extension every day to check on the number of chains in a redirect to a page.
Answer The Public
This is a very simple and free keyword research tool to help you if you are creating content around a specific topic. You can use this to find out the type of questions people have about particular topics.
A great research tool for looking for the questions that surround a topic you may be writing about. But these days, you really should know what you are writing about to rank high in Google for competitive terms. You can also use Google Keyword Planner for keyword research.
If I want competitive keyword data quickly I usually get it from tools like this and SEMRush.
Google Analytics
While the alternatives are useful to have, Google Analytics is still my analytics of choice. API access is also a must to get the best out of it.
It depends on what you’re employed to do, which should influence which tools you invest in.
Clicky Web Analytics
Disclosure: “I am an affiliate of Clicky. This review is editorial opinion. This review is not sponsored.” Shaun Anderson, Hobo
Google Analytics is the de facto analytics software, and the only tool for checking lots of data – but I find I log into my Clicky account more than I do GA these days – if all I want is a quick and dirty analysis of a page or keyword.
When I find a simple tool I like I usually stick with it forever. I’m amazed at the simple things Clicky does so effortlessly. The control panel seems so much more intuitive than for instance Google Analytics. Instantly accessible.
I tried a few real-time web stats analytics packages out (I like software with a free trial) and I must say, Clicky is brilliant.
- See who is on your site at that very moment
- See where traffic is coming from AND track outbound visitors too
- See your valuable incoming links in action
- See a more accurate bounce rate for your pages
- Too much good stuff to mention
…and best of all, Clicky might very well be FREE if you don’t have more than 3,000-page impressions a day – ideal for small businesses.
Try Clicky PRO out. Excellent analytics, and easy to install too.
If you are a beginner, this is a good analytics tool.

1. Google Analytics
Google Analytics can show you everything you need to know when it comes to your website’s data.
For example, Google Analytics can track every action you make on your website and show you how these actions affect traffic and conversions.
I highly recommend Google Analytics when it comes to tracking downloads, clicks, email signups, conversions, and keywords.
2. Google PageSpeed
Did you know that page speed is a direct ranking factor? The faster your webpage loads, the better your ranks can be.
Google PageSpeed is a fantastic tool to measure your website speed on both mobile and desktop. It also suggests improvements based on Google Webmaster Guidelines.
3. Google Keyword Planner
With the Google Keyword Planner is a free tool that you can use when you sign up for a Google Ads account, you can discover highly searched terms or easy-to-rank keywords.
Google can also give you suggested keywords based on your keywords. These suggested keywords also come with key metrics as well!
4. Google Search Console
Google Search Console (previously Google Webmaster Tools) allows you to measure your website’s traffic, performance, and fix any issues when it comes to Google Search results.
For example, Google Search Console can use the Crawl Errors tool to find broken URLs that will show up negatively on Google.
It can also give you a complete breakdown of your backlink profile as well.
You can also see how your website is performing under Search Analytics. Here, you can track the total number of impressions in your SERPs, your average ranking position, and the click-through rate.
You can also find out which page is ranking for which keywords as well.
While Google Search Console is not exactly an SEO tool, the data from Google Search Console, can help you make better-informed decisions.
5. SEO PowerSuite
The SEO PowerSuite is an all-in-one SEO software that covers every step in an SEO campaign. While the SEO PowerSuite has a paid version, the free version remains one of the most effective SEO site suites available.
With the SEO Powersuite (Free Version), you can:
- Track keyword searches, improve your rankings, & steal traffic from your competitors
- Perform SEO audits & optimize your site
- Discover over 100k competitor backlinks & construct your link building strategy

6. Screaming Frog
Screaming Frog is a fantastic website crawler that analyses and audits on-site SEO for you (or your competitor’s) site URL.
Here, you can find broken links, errors, and redirects, analyze page titles and metadata, review meta robots and directives, discover duplicate pages, and generate XML sitemaps.
While the Screaming Frog has both paid and free versions, the free version is available for up to 500 URLs.
7. GTmetrix
If you’re keen to boost your page’s speed, you should try GTmetrix. GTmetrix is a Page Speed tool that gives you more in-depth and thorough information about your site’s speed than Google Page Speed Insights.
GTmetrix gives you an overall site speed score, with a breakdown of what’s good and bad about your site.
GTmetrix also ranks your site speed problems in order of priority. The ranking system can help you can focus on the most important page speed factors first.
Furthermore, GTmetrix also explains problems in detail by outlining why, what, and how you can fix the problem.
While GTmetrix has both paid and free versions, the free version lets you monitor up to 3 URLs and save up to 20 URLs.
8. Ubersuggest
Knowing which keywords are the best for your site is hard. But Ubersuggest is a handy little tool. Ubersuggest is a free keyword tool that can give you suggestions based on keyword ideas.
For example, if you want to rank for an article in the travel niche on Berlin Walking tours, you can hop on Ubersuggest, select the country and database you want to rank in and type in a keyword.
Ubersuggest will give you a list of alternate keywords people search for around the keyword you entered. Here, you can view search by toggling volume, cost per click, and competition for each result.
It’s a great way to build up a list of keywords for your website.
9. Check My Links
Did you know that broken links can hurt your SEO? Instead of manually checking your links, you can use Check My Links to crawl your entire site to find broken links.
This way, you can quickly identify and repair these broken links and improve your SEO almost immediately.
For example, Check My Links will highlight valid links in green.
It’ll list warning links in yellow, and broken links you need to fix, in red.
10. Open Link Profiler
One of the best ways to boost your SEO is to build links. With Open Link Profiler’s browser, you gain incredible data about your backlink profile. All you need to do is go to their website and enter your URL.
You’ll then gain access to your Backlink Profile.
You can also access a list that breaks down all the links to your website. You can access their quality and see where the link is from.
You can export up to 1000 links from OpenLinkProfiler for free.
11. Ahrefs
Ahrefs is one of the most expensive tools in the market. Ahref’s Lite plan begins at $99 per month, while the most popular standard plan is $179 per month.
Thankfully, Ahrefs offers a $7 for 7 days trial for both the Lite and Standard Option.
12. SEMRush
SEMRush is another popular, premium, and well-known SEO tool. SEMRush’s Pro plan is $99.95 per month, while the most popular Guru option is $199.95 per month.
With SEMRush, you can sign up for a 7-day free trial for both the Pro and Guru plans.
I personally use SEMRush to find out what my competitors are doing so I can replicate their successes with my site.
Although premium SEO tools are expensive, most tools offer a free trial or a discounted sign-up rate. While they offer a limited time-frame (e.g 7 days, 2 weeks, or 1 month), you can plan what you need from these tools in advance so you can use the trial period effectively.
