Lots of thanks emilia for your help!

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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
And the last tools that you say to me, are they good?
-
I use MOZ, screaming frog, semrush, ahrefs, cuterrank, xenu (I have started since Monday) and I don't remember more.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

GG webmaster tool crawl rate
Hello, I just redid my website and suddenly saw a spike in the crawl rate for about 2 weeks and I am now back to where I was on average. Is it normal ? My guess it that this increase was due to the change in site and new links ? However,I just want to make sure it is normal that it is back to a "normal rate" now that it has discovered all the links. Thank you,

Tools to test meta descriptions?
Hey does anyone know of any tools which can test your meta descriptions against competitors meta descriptions for specific keyword terms. I know one tool called SERP Turkey which uses mechanical turk, i was wondering if there is any others on the market? Even a tool which can automatically score your meta description against others on the SERP results page. E..g optimised, keyword, call to action, etc. Cheers, Chris

Best way to structure urls wordpress and Yoast?
I am using Wordpress and Yoast. I have Parent pages and child pages. Yoast recommends you have the keyword in the url. For the parent page I have the city name in the url. Question is, should the child pages also have the city name in the url or would that be considered keyword stuffing? Here is the current structure. http://forestparkdental.info/st-louis-dental-services/restorative-dentistry/inlays-and-onlays So didn't know if should have the end of that url as /restorative-dentistry-st-louis /inlays-and-onlays-st louis since those are separate pages and Yoast and Moz plugin doesn't give you the Green light in in all areas unless you do it like this? Thanks Scott

Can we really learn from the best?
Hi All, When I started my site (an eCommerce site) I copied (or tried) a lot of things from the best eCommerce sites I thought were out there. Sites like Zappos, ZALES, Overstock, BlueNile etc. I got hit pretty hard with latest algo changes and I posted my question at Google Webmaster Help forum I received answers from Gurus that we are keyword stuffing etc. (mainly with internal links to product pages but other issues as well). My answer was a link to Zappos and other sites showing that what we do is nothing compared to them. I also showed dozens of SEO "errors" like using H1 tag 10 times per page, not using canonicals and many other issues. The Guru's answer was "LOL" - who am I to compare myself to Zappos. So the question is... Can we take them for example or are they first simply because they are the biggest?

Website Siloing..best practice?
Hi all I am doing some research this week on the effects of siloing a Magento site. We have about 1,654 pages with approx 1,400 products. We want to silo the website in order to address the internal linking issues and to also focus the customer journey in a more organised way. I need to report all of the possible angles and effects that this will have on the site, prior to implementing it. Does anyone have info on best practice for siloing? I'd appreciate any help... Thanks Nick
