Start with GSC and Ahrefs Webmaster Tools — both free and enough to learn the basics. For writing, Surfer’s beginner-friendly if you can afford it.

First tool you should get is ahref. If you have multiple sites, then it is a must buy.

I think Semrush is a great option for SEO audits and in-depth research from my side.

I’d recommend starting with Ahrefs Webmaster Tools — it’s a free toolkit for auditing your own website. You can run a technical SEO audit, see which sites are linking to you, which pages have the most backlinks, and get an overall view of your backlink profile. It’s really handy if you’re just starting out and want to understand how your site looks from an SEO perspective.

These tools (Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Ubersuggest, Yoast SEO, AnswerThePublic, and Bing Webmaster Tools) are great for beginners because they’re easy to use, widely trusted, and cover the basics of SEO (keywords, content, technical health, and traffic analysis). Start with the free version, try one or two tools at a time, and build your skills over time.

Google Search Console, Ubersuggest, Yoast SEO, AnswerThePublic, Ahrefs Webmaster Tools, SEMrush (Free), Google Trends.
Easy to use and great for learning the basics.

I would recommend free but most effective google search console tools for beginners. Since you are just starting don't go for paid tools. ahref also gives insights if you integrate the code in your sites as well.
