Seo Tools For Website 2013

Google and Bing Webmaster Tools are must-haves for any SEO, or really anyone who owns or manages a website. These webmaster tools offer a great overview of any potential problems with your site, along with various tools to help manage your presence in both search engines.

While both tools are useful, we spend the bulk of our time in Google Webmaster Tools and leave Bing Webmaster Tools for the occasions when we encounter a Bing-specific issue.

Google Webmaster Tools has myriad tools for managing your site.  These are our favorites:

• Fetch as Google – A simple fetch that shows you how Google sees a page
• Crawl Errors – Shows various site/server errors (404, 400, 500)  that may be impacting search presence.
• The Dashboard – Provides a quick and simple glance at any potiential red flag items
• Links to your Site – Provides total links/domains Google finds pointing to your site, in addition to a sampling of the domains that are providing links.

You can access Webmaster Tools via the following links:

Google Webmaster Tools
Bing Webmaster Tools

Link Monitoring & Domain/Page Strength

These are tools we use to monitor inbound links, or compare domain/page strength among competitors.

SEOMoz’s Open Site Explorer provides an excellent overview of page/domain strength, along with a tool to compare competitors against your own site. Additionally, you can export inbound links for domains you choose, and view a list of anchor texts associated with the incoming links. Our favorite metrics from Open Site Explorer are:

• Page Authority
• Domain Authority
• External Followed Links
• Followed Linking Root Domains

Because we like to be thorough and look at multiple sources for data whenever possible, we also use MajesticSEO and Google Webmaster Tools for reviewing link domain strength.

Rank Monitoring

For checking and monitoring ranks, we use Advanced Web Ranking by Caphyon. There are other tools out there, but we haven’t found a reason to switch — even with the faults we find with Caphyon’s program.

Here are some ways we use Advanced Web Ranking:

• Checking local ranks in Google Places
• Checking international ranks (e.g., google.co.uk)
• Running weekly and monthly rank reports
• Viewing top sites that are ranking for certain terms

As we are a subscriber to SEOMoz, we also use their Campaigns feature to monitor and send weekly reports on top keywords for quick review.

Site Crawlers/Emulators

To get an idea of how Google (or other crawlers) are seeing a web page/site we have a few go to tools:

• Rex Swain’s HTTP viewer – Simple and effective tool to get a quick glance of HTTP requests for web pages. Quick tip: Enter “Googlebot” in user-agent to view the page as Google would.
• Microsoft IIS SEO toolkit – This tool crawls (and optionally stores) a website and will point out errors which can be used as a head start in site reviews.
• SEObrowser.com – A simple yet effective method of seeing a page the way Google (or other crawlers/browsers) would. This tool was once free, it is now $5/year.
• User Agent Switcher (FireFox Plugin) – Helpful tool for using a browser to view sites with via different crawlers (and even different browsers). Be sure to download the big list of user agents, this will make your life much easier.

Keyword Research

For keyword research and review, we primarily use two tools to get an idea of search volume and competition levels.

• Google Keyword Tool – A great way to review keyword popularity and to get an idea of similar terms. Can also be used to estimate CPC and competition levels when looking to sponser keywords for AdWords.
• Google trends – A good way to see keyword search interest over time. This tool can also compare multiple keywords to see their relative volume and show you a list of similar terms being searched for to get ideas.
• Honorable mention to Compete.com, which we sometimes use for long-tail keyword research and competitive keyword research

Analytics

Our favorite website analytics tool by far is Google Analytics.  Simply stated, this tool rocks and is a necessity for any SEO.  We’ve been singing its praises since forever ago, and we don’t expect to stop anytime soon

1. Ahrefs: SEO Keyword Tool
   Ahref – SEO Keyword Tool
   Ahrefs is one of the most recommended SEO tools online. It’s only second to Google when it comes to being the largest website crawlers. SEO experts can’t get enough of Ahrefs’ Site Audit feature as it’s the best SEO analysis tool around. The tool highlights what parts of your website need improvements to rank better in search engines. From a competitor analysis perspective, you’ll likely use Ahrefs to determine your competitor’s backlinks to use them as a starting point for your own brand. You can also use this SEO tool to find the most linked to content within your niche, check and fix broken links on your website,and get an overview of your best-performing pages (so you can see what information is drawing in the visitors).

He shares, “Ahrefs is surely our most favorite tool when it comes to various facets of SEO such as keyword research, rank tracking, competitor research, SEO audit, viral content research and much more. We add our site and those of our competitors to it. The tool then shows us the sites which have backlinked to our competitors but not us. This helps us find great link opportunities. But this wouldn’t have been so easy if Ahrefs didn’t have the largest database of backlinks. Ahrefs has been instrumental in getting our site ranked for several major keywords, and getting us to 350,000 visitors per month.”

2. Google Search Console: Top SEO Tool

This feature lets me see all my leading articles with one dashboard, along with related keywords, social shares and word count. This gives me a quick overview of what’s working and where to optimize. I generally use SEMrush on my daily work, love this tool, and love using its site audit to optimize our site health. We improved our site health by 100% more since we started using SEMrush, and we increased conversions by 15% more from our content pages.”

I’ve been able to help my clients target not only those big, pie in the sky vanity terms, but to better target those terms that are lower in the funnel and more likely to convert, allowing me to target them through focused content that answers the questions they’re actually asking.”

5. Moz Pro: SEO Software

Keri Lindenmuth

Keri Lindenmuth’s, Marketing Manager at Kyle David Group, go-to SEO tool is none other than Moz Pro. She says, “My favorite feature of the tool is its ‘page optimization feature.’ It tells you exactly what steps you can take to improve the SEO of every single page on your website. For example, it will tell you to ‘Include your keyword in this page title’ or ‘Add an image with a keyword alt tag.’ This tool has substantially improved our client’s business simply by the fact that it gives increased transparency. We can compare their site’s traffic and optimization to that of their competitors. We can see which pages and search terms their competitors perform well in and alter our web practices to compete against theirs. Without a tool like Moz, SEO really becomes a guessing game. You have no idea where you’re doing well and where you can use improvement.”

7. Answer The Public: Free SEO Tools
   Answer The Public – Free SEO Tools

Free SEO tools like Answer The Public allow you to easily find topics to write about for your blog. I’ve used this tool in the past to create content around specific keywords to better rank online. Say you’re in the ‘fitness’ niche. You can use this free SEO tool to create content around keywords like fitness, yoga, running, Crossfit, exercise and cover the entire spectrum. It’s great for finding featured snippet opportunities. Say you hire a freelancer to create content for you, all you need to do is download this list and send it over to them.

The best feature of the tool is that it presents a list of the questions that web users are asking about a particular keyword. If I’m running out of genuinely useful content ideas, or if I’m compiling an FAQ page, it provides invaluable guidance as to what, exactly, people are searching for. It is not only useful for SEO content, it means that our clients can answer questions on their site, minimizing the number of customer service calls they receive and giving greater authority to a page and the overall business. And here’s a quick tip: prevent neckache by hitting the Data button, rather than straining to read the question wheel.”

Adele Stewart

Adele Stewart, Senior Project Manager at Sparq Designs, can’t get enough of SEO software SpyFu. She shares, “I have used SEMrush and Agency Analytics in the past, but SpyFu has the one-up on my client’s competitors. All of SpyFu’s features are great, but my absolute favorite is the SEO Research feature. You’re able to plug in a competitor’s domain and pull up information on their own SEO strategy. You can see what keywords they pay for vs. their organic standings, review their core keywords, and even assess their keyword groups. Using SpyFu has been integral to my client’s SEO successes. There’s so much more to track and report on, plus I don’t have to put in as much effort in research as I did with other SEO software. SpyFu pulls the information I need and organizes reports in a way that is presentable and understandable to my clients. I’ve already seen increases in indexing and rank for keywords that we didn’t even think of.”

Ryan Scollon, SEO Consultant at RyanScollon.co.uk recommends the SEO tool Majestic. He says, “My favorite SEO tool is Majestic, with its main feature allowing you to check the backlinks of a website that you specify. My favorite feature is the ability to add your own client’s site and a bunch of competitors, allowing you to easily compare a variety of SEO metrics such as trust flow, referring domain count, and external backlinks count. Not only does it help us understand the [client’s optimization] weaknesses, but it also provides a simple table that we share with our clients, so they too can understand the problems and how they stack up to their competitors. We also use Majestic to audit competitors’ backlinks, as we can sometimes find a handful of easy opportunities to tackle before moving onto other link building tactics.”
