      Hi Guys

      Just curious to hear what you guys do to rank blog posts in the top in Google especially onsite, after the RankBrain update? Do you still use SEO tools to optimize this or are the SEO tools outdated for this? If yes which tools do you use to get success with?

      Cheers

      John

        I am also doing SEO using rank brain psychology. The website is totally based on the Panda helper.

        Other things that I want to mention are mcdvoice con, iosemus, blacksheep and hipstore.

        Can I track the ranking when applying for rankbrain technique.

                SEO tools are still invaluable.  There is dozens of factors that you have to get right, so seo tools audit your site and keep you informed.  Tech is more complicated than people think, an update breaks something etc etc.   So seo tools have there place.  That said marketing and seo are merging, so that is another factor.  The starting point is x10 content then optimising and creating shareable content.

                Hope that helps.

                  Thanks Don. So to give you more details, we want to rank for popular keyword phrases for a specific topic.  So my question is whether you really need an SEO tool nowadays to check for keyword density, how many times the phrase was used etc

                  Isn't the key to focus on the user first and less so optimizing based on these seo tools.

                    It is too broad a question to answer in detail.  Rank Brain is about optimising the customer experience etc. So the best starting point is the quality of content.

                    This is still a great WBF on content - that will cover any rank brain concerns..

                    https://moz.com/blog/how-to-create-10x-content-whiteboard-friday

                    So, in short, yes, we still use plenty of tools, from GA to Moz, and many more.

                    Hope that helps.
