What are some essential modern SEO tools for rank/kw tracking, backlink building, analytics, etc?

So far I've used:
ahrefs for checking competition
serpiq for kw research
scrapebox for link building
google analytics for analytics

You shouldn't be using Scrapebox for link building.. scraping is it's primary use!

Well yeah it scrapes URLs that I want a link from. So then I get a link from that site by contacting the owner or an injection or something.

Yeah, that's the best way to use it.. scrape links then post manually!

it's recommended to do it without any tools, for a better quality.
