There are many free tools available online. Which seo tools do you regularly use?
 
Tools and CRM;

Ahrefs - For Backlinks audit; Especially for our projects.
Screaming Frog/Labrika - Technical SEO audits
Nifty; SEO project management
Snov; Decent outreach tool and email finder; They currently running 50% yearly discount.
Zoho Begin: CRM for new leads, Although we're considering Pipedrive
SERProbot: This is for keyword management on SERP.
Reportei :You sure want to automate reporting you save time.


These are our most D2D use, I'll add a few more on remembering them.
 
List of tools I daily use -
  1. Google - Search Console, Analytics
  2. Technical Audit - Screaming Frog, Site Analyzer, Website Auditor
  3. Keyword Research - Rank Tracker (Can't live without it), AHREFS, SEMRush, Ubersuggest, Spyfu, Keywordtool.io, Keyword Researcher Pro, Long Tail Pro. (My process is to collect as much data as possible to scrape and then filter out from it. That's why I use several tools.)
  4. Sitemap/Mind Map - Edrawmind (This is helpful to visualize the research for the client.)
  5. Content - SurferSEO, Market Muse, Hemingway App, Grammarly
  6. Outreach - Lemlist, Link Assistant
  7. Task Management - Asana
I know some of them are not SEO tools here but just feel like listing all of it.
 
Semrush (never tried anything else since i can get semrush for free)
 
Used a mix of all the major ones out there basically Ahrefs and Semrush
 
I use SEMrush.

It's very easy to use.

As I've mentioned many times in my posts here, I'm pretty lazy.

I don't waste my time trying to come up with a "hot new idea" in my niche.

Instead, I look for blogs that already dominate my niche, and I use SEMrush to reverse-engineer those websites for insights that may give me a head start.

This is the lazy but effective way to build a successful website with the least amount of resources, time, and unnecessary drama.

Believe me, nothing can provoke tears and bitterness more than thinking that you have come up with this hot new website that people can't wait to visit.

By thinking so, you put up that website, spend a lot of money, and you put in the time to market on social media and elsewhere only to come up with a big pile of nothing.

I say this with authority because I've done this a few times before.

And the best way to get around this is to just focus on where there is demand already and segment that existing demand based on ease of ranking.

And this is where tools like SEMrush come in.

You just type in a domain of your competitors, and you can do an organic search for the keywords that their website ranks for.

You then do a keyword difficulty analysis as well as a niche specificity and topic relevance analysis.

And soon enough you come up with a pretty solid set of initial content targets on which you can build a sub-niche blog.

I'm not saying that if you use this technique, you will beat the biggest players in your space immediately.

That's just not gonna happen.

Get that idea out of your head.

Instead, the technique that I just described above using SEMrush gets your foot through the door.

And if you're trying to make money in this space, that's all you need.

You just need to get a head start, and then from there, you can build up.
