I use a lot of the ones you've mentioned here too, but in addition: SEM Rush - which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet?

It's good for Rankings, competitor analysis, adwords analysis and SEO audits - it finds broken links, missing alt text, dupliacte meta tags etc etc. I find the reports it generates quite helpful and easy to use. I've used it for keyword analysis too in the past, but as my site is up and running I don't really do a lot of this anymore - I know what keywords bring in traffic... I'm pretty sure that I only scratch the surface of it and that there is a lot more to be got from it, but I only have so many hours in a day!!!

I don't just use one tool though - I use a few at once and combine the findings. I don't expect one tool to do it all

Hope this helps,

Amelia

You are right! Thanks for your answer.

No such thing as best tool for seo. Seo is huge, so there are different tools for different purposes.

[CarlosZambrana]

That tool is similar to Accuranker. If you have time, you should try it.

No, sorry.

I don't know Accuranker, I use CuterRank. ¿Do you know that?

[TheWebMastercom]

Accuranker is cheap, and allows me to instantly see how a page ranks for new content, and for after content is updated.  I find it invaluable, as you can submit a page to webmaster tools via fetch and then check rankings 5 minutes later to see the effect (noting, you may see an initial effect and then some days later get more movement).

Cognitive SEO is great if you need full backlink data, i.e. for link cleanups etc or if you get hit by negative SEO etc.  Basically it is cheaper than signing up to ahrefs, majestic and moz.  Although Moz is great for all the other tools.

[CarlosZambrana]

And the last tools that you say to me, are they good?

[CarlosZambrana]

I use MOZ, screaming frog, semrush, ahrefs, cuterrank, xenu (I have started since Monday) and I don't remember more.

[TheWebMastercom]

I only use two currently:

• Moz
• Accuranker (great rank tracker where you can update your rankings instantly as many times as you want)
• Occasionally I will use cognitiveseo as this takes in Moz, Ahrefs and majestic link data as well as webmaster tools data from your account and is useful for cleaning up backlinks (I was hit by negative seo last year).

I have tried many other tools, but these are the ones I keep going back to.

What tools do you use, and maybe I could recommend some others that way

[CarlosZambrana]

Thanks Andy. I know all of them but I am going to search new tools for SEO. I hope that I am lucky. Thanks for all.

[CarlosZambrana]

Lots of thanks! I use more tools but I would like to try new tools. I know all of them but thanks for your answer.

[Andy-Halliday]

Unfortunately there isn't a 1 amazing tool like everyone has said, its all about using multiple tools and using the best tool to meet the specific task you are trying to complete.

It also depends on what budget you have for SEO software, I am quite fortunate in that I have quite a lot of the software agreed by my MD, but I know some who really struggle.

I use:

• Moz
• Rankwatch - for rank tracking
• Ahrefs
• Searchmetrics
• SEMRush
• Majestic
• Screaming frog

And those are the ones i use frequently there a couple more i have that I cant remember of top of my head that I use for certain tasks and projects.

I wish there was a one best solution, all the above solutions are good, but not great in isolation and need to be used together.

Thanks

Andy

SEO tools are like personal assistants:

• you will never find the "best"
• they never do your job (only assist you/speed you up)
• if you have the budget to have more, you get more work prepared by them

That is my shortlist

I personally use Screaming Frog + Moz, + Majestic + Xovi

I hope this helps.

Hello Carlos,

There isn't something like the best SEO tool, it always depends on you. I suggest you to test some tools (most of them have a free test month) and decide what works out best for you.
