The 26 Best All-in-One SEO Tool Suites
January 19, 2017 by Tom Pick

Revised June 24, 2020
Revised May 14, 2020
Revised July 23, 2018

SEO has a lot of moving parts. Successfully getting your content to rank highly and stand out from the vast ocean of blog posts, articles, website content, videos, infographics, and other types of informative and persuasive marketing pieces being produced requires making sure no component is missing and everything is working together.

Best all-in-one SEO tool suites

Optimizing all of the factors that can impact search ranking can be approached in different ways. One is to assemble a collection of best of breed tools; previous posts here have covered tools for competitive intelligence, content planning, keyword research, rank tracking, and special-purpose SEO tools for functions like technical SEO, link research, and video SEO.

Another approach is to implement an all-in-one SEO tools suite, which covers most if not all the bases in a single package. Which approach is best for your organization depends on a variety of factors. Generally, best-of-breed tools offer greater functional depth, while all-in-one suites simplify management and integration.

If the latter approach sounds potentially attractive, check out these two-dozen-plus tools for managing on-page optimization, rank checking, backlink and keyword research, competitive benchmarking, and reporting in a single package.

And for good reason — it presents Google Search Console and Google Analytics data right in your WordPress dashboard, provides a Rank Tracker tool, monitors 404 errors, generates Schema Markup, and much more.

Rank Math WordPress extension
Why we like it: The free version provides plenty of great options on its own, but if you do decide you need to upgrade, the annual rates are reasonable (starting at $59).

It can be overwhelming to switch between a number of tools and websites, so it’s a huge bonus that Rank Math is available right from your WordPress dashboard.

Yoast (Free Version)
Yoast is another handy WordPress plugin with both free and paid options. It’s a staple for many SEOs, as it takes care of the majority of technical SEO issues for you.

Semrush Site Audit Report
Why we like it: We may be biased, but one of our favorite things about Site Audit is that you can hover over “Learn more” next to each issue or error to learn what you need to do to fix it.

Sloth
Sloth helps you use Cloudflare Workers, along with their extensive network of global data centers, to set 301 and 302 redirects, implement hreflang, conduct A/B testing, modify your robots.txt file, and even collect log files.

Sloth process
Image credit: Sloth
Why we like it: Sloth is especially useful for SEOs working on enterprise sites. You can implement solutions like redirects and hreflang tags without nearly as much effort.

Sloth lets you use Cloudflare Workers to execute JavaScript on the side without impacting the underlying infrastructure, which means you are able to clear any obstacles to get your tasks done.

Hreflang Tag Teting Tool
Google’s John Mueller has previously said that implementing hreflang is one of the most complex parts of SEO; using Merkle’s Hreflang Tags Testing Tool is one way to make it that little bit easier to check for any errors.

Merkle hrelang testing tool
Why we like it: This tool spots problems with hreflang implementation within minutes, and understands the alternate URLs and the targeted region.

Diagnosing such issues can be time-consuming and frustrating, but when you are able to see the annotations presented in a clear format, spotting that one incorrect tag couldn’t be simpler.

Free Local SEO Tools

GMBspy Chrome Extension
This extension lets you view categories set for other businesses. Because these categories can influence what appears in the Knowledge Graph, it’s a good step to take in your competitor research.

GMBSpy local SEO tool
Why we like it: While category information is public, it can be tricky and occasionally time-consuming to sift through HTML in order to find it.

This is a quick way to keep tabs on competitors as well as find optimization opportunities for your own listing.

GMB Everywhere Chrome Extension
This local SEO tool is similar to GMBSpy, but offers more features.

In addition to accessing the information on business categories, you can perform basic audits in addition to audits specific to reviews, Google Posts, and Google Maps.

Help a Reporter Out (HARO)
HARO is a handy (and mutually beneficial) tool that lets you respond to specific requests for sources or quotes in various industries.

This helps the reporter get accurate information and can help you get more backlinks and more coverage for your brand.

HARO sends source request emails, broken down by industry, each day. If you believe you are a good source for the request, you can respond. However, it’s ultimately down to the reporter to decide which source or quote to use.

Help a Reporter Out
Why we like it: HARO makes it easy for anyone to get great backlinks without spending much time on the outreach process. Even if you don’t have anyone on your team dedicated to content promotion, you can still get great results with minimal effort.

The free version offers all core CRM features, and paid accounts start at $15 per month.

Streak link building tool
Why we like it: Streak is also useful for team collaboration. You can automatically share emails, call logs, and more, as well as access data alongside emails so the entire team has context (as seen in the above image).

Google Tools
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a popular free tool that provides in-depth data about your website. Even if you rely on paid SEO tools, using GA is essential for analyzing site traffic over time.

It can also give you valuable insights about your audience, including where they’re located, what kind of device they use, and their demographics.

Google Analytics Organic Traffic
Why we like it: It’s the most cost-effective analytics tool (free!) for businesses of all sizes. Even if you’re an SEO novice, you can easily use Google Analytics to demonstrate success — or failure — with evidence and data.

Google Search Console
Another must-have tool for any SEO is Google Search Console. It allows you to measure your site’s search traffic, find out which keywords your site ranks for, and identify technical errors.

GSC reports common errors, including Index Coverage, Core Web Vitals reports, and Mobile Usability.

img-semblog
Why we like it: There’s no better way to identify and fix issues related to your Google search performance than straight from Google itself. It allows you to see the exact issues that Google sees when it crawls and indexes your site.

You can also:

Test individual URLs to see how Googlebot interprets them
Submit a sitemap
Request the indexation of a URL
Access information like clicks, impressions, CTR, and average positions of keywords
Access Search Analytics for Sheets and the Search Console Data Downloader by Dominic Woodman to enhance GSC capabilities.

Google Business Profile
If you run a business with a physical store, use Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) to claim your business listing and appear on Google Maps, in the Knowledge Panel, and in the Local Pack.

Optimizing your Google Business Profile profile is the first step you’ll want to take. Ensure your hours and address are correct, add photos and videos, and respond to all reviews. Doing so will help your business rank locally.

Google My Business Knowledge Panel
Why we like it: It’s possible to gain a significant competitive advantage if you are prepared to put in the time and effort to optimize your Google listing.

Your competitors might treat it as a “set it and forget it” task, which means they will miss out on opportunities to add new posts, keep Q&As up to date, respond to reviews, add photos, and upload offers.

Google Data Studio
Google Data Studio allows users to combine data from different Google tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to create interactive reports.

Google Data Studio screenshot
Why we like it: Data Studio is a great free reporting tool that shows real-time data and historical comparisons.

As stated by Google, “Blending sources can reveal valuable relationships between your data sets. Creating blended charts directly in Data Studio removes the need to manipulate your data in other applications first, saving you time and effort.”

Google PageSpeed Insights
