Finding the Best SEO Tools

Have you ever thought of how the big SEO companies do what they do? They’re using SEO tools! Exactly which SEO tool isn’t something that they like to reveal, but you can be assured that they are using at least one for every job they do!
There are free SEO tools and there are tools that you will need to pay for, either as a one-time fee or as a monthly subscription. Some of them are well worth the money where others aren’t, so make sure that you take advantage of any trial periods that are available so that you can evaluate how well the service suits your needs.

Some people say that the best SEO tools are free. Some Google SEO tools are free, and there are some Bing SEO tools free as well, so there might be some substance behind the claims regarding free SEO tools. The most popular freebie is the SEO keyword tool; Google offers one for use with their AdSense program but many people use it for all kinds of keyword research purposes.
There are several ways that you can go about finding the right kind of SEO tools for your business needs, and we’re going to cover a few of the most popular ones below:

1) Web Search – While it might seem like a no-brainer, a web search is a very popular and effective way to find the best SEO tools. All you need to do is type in a search term that reflects the type of tool you need. Popular tools are keyword tools, traffic analysis tools, and on-page analysis tools.
2) SEO Tool Websites – There aren’t many but they are out there. Some companies have begun producing and distributing or licensing their own SEO tools. These typically come in packages so that you do not have to purchase the rights to use each tool individually. This can be an attractive option for smaller businesses with limited budgets.
3) Recommendations – If you’re not sure which SEO tools would be best for you, ask around and see what others in your industry think. Find review websites or reviews on the websites of the creators of the SEO tools you are interested in and see what kinds of experiences others have had.

Aside from these ways to find the best SEO tools, all you can do is find a tool you think is a good fit for your business and give it a try. Many tools do not come with support documentation or much community involvement so sometimes your own experiences are going to be the only things you have to rely on for information about SEO tools.
