The Ultimate List of the 54 Best SEO Tools (Free & Paid)

Free Keyword Research Tools

AnswerThePublic

AnswerThePublic is a fan-favorite SEO tool that uses Google’s autocomplete data to find out what users are actually asking.

Once you input your search, you can view results as a mind map or as a list. You can also export data to a CSV file.

Why we like it: AnswerThePublic organizes results based on question words, making it easy to perform topic research. 

AlsoAsked

AlsoAsked leverages People Also Ask data to provide and organize information based on your search. You can research directly on the site or export your findings to a CSV file or a graph.

As of writing, AlsoAsked is in Beta period, so users have free access to the “Bulk” account that includes 1,000 searchers per month. Once the Beta period is over, the free version will offer 10 searches per month.

Why we like it: While this tool is useful for keyword research in general, it also provides a great way to organize an outline for individual pieces of content by showing you related topics to your search.

QuestionDB

Input a broad keyword, and QuestionDB will come back with related topics as well as specific questions users ask.

Why we like it: QuestionDB is another useful topic generator. We especially like that it offers related topics mentioned in questions; you can find related keywords or popular topics you may have missed otherwise.

Search Response

Search Response uses People Also Ask data to provide popular questions people are actually asking online. Input a keyword or phrase, and it delivers PAA questions based on popularity as well as groups topics similar to the Keyword Magic Tool.

Why we like it: In addition to the People Also Ask tool, Search Response offers a tool called “People Also Search For” that shows what people look for next if they bounce off a page from their initial search.

SEO Keywords Spelling Checker

Using the Google Suggest feature, this keyword research tool checks if the keyword you entered is written in the way people search for it. If it’s not, you can tweak your keyword to match the more popular phrasing.

Why we like it: Because these suggestions come from Google, they reflect what’s trending in real-time. This is a quick way to ensure you’re taking trending topics into consideration.

Free On-Page SEO Tools

SEOquake

SEOquake is a free browser extension that lets users conduct on page SEO audits, examine internal and external links, check for broken links, and more without leaving their browsers.

Why we like it: The SERP overview tool (pictured above) shows a range of data for each result. You can also click any of the numbers to get a for in-depth report.

Rank Math

Rank Math is a popular WordPress SEO plugin, with more than 300,000 installations to date.

And for good reason — it presents Google Search Console and Google Analytics data right in your WordPress dashboard, provides a Rank Tracker tool, monitors 404 errors, generates Schema Markup, and much more.

Why we like it: The free version provides plenty of great options on its own, but if you do decide you need to upgrade, the annual rates are reasonable (starting at $59). 

It can be overwhelming to switch between a number of tools and websites, so it’s a huge bonus that Rank Math is available right from your WordPress dashboard.

Yoast (Free Version)

Yoast is another handy WordPress plugin with both free and paid options. It’s a staple for many SEOs, as it takes care of the majority of technical SEO issues for you.

Why we like it: Even if you aren’t a technical SEO whiz, you can use Yoast to ensure that your site meets technical SEO standards. And if you are experienced, it can still save you a lot of time. It also gives tips for optimizing content for readability.

Meta SEO Inspector Chrome Extension

This handy Chrome extension lets you view a page’s on-page SEO signals, including meta, headers, Schema Markup, external links, and more all from a handy dropdown.

Why we like it: This on-page SEO tool is helpful for reviewing your own pages as well as taking a look at your competitors’. Plus, it’s handy to have all this information on one screen with just a simple click.

Why we like it: It can be difficult to prove the ROI of SEO to your clients, making the data you get from SplitSignal incredibly valuable. You can run these tests on any website platform and won't even need to deal with complex code or request developer resources.

At the moment, SplitSignal is available via the Pilot Program only. Request a trial today to find out more.

Bing Webmaster Tools

Bing Webmaster Tools is essentially the Bing version of Google Search Console. While Google’s version is more advanced, Bing’s version is helpful if you’re trying to optimize your site for Bing. 

Why we like it: In recent years, Bing has made notable improvements to the interface of their Webmaster Tools based on customer feedback. 

It also offers a solid keyword research tool. You can filter your results for “related keywords”, “question keywords”, and “newly discovered keywords” to further refine your results.

Semrush Site Audit (Free Version)

Even if you don’t have a paid Semrush account, you can audit up to 100 pages per month with a free account. Auditing your website pages will help you to understand areas in which you can improve for better optimization.

Why we like it: We may be biased, but one of our favorite things about Site Audit is that you can hover over “Learn more” next to each issue or error to learn what you need to do to fix it.

Sloth

Sloth helps you use Cloudflare Workers, along with their extensive network of global data centers, to set 301 and 302 redirects, implement hreflang, conduct A/B testing, modify your robots.txt file, and even collect log files.

Why we like it: Sloth is especially useful for SEOs working on enterprise sites. You can implement solutions like redirects and hreflang tags without nearly as much effort.

Sloth lets you use Cloudflare Workers to execute JavaScript on the side without impacting the underlying infrastructure, which means you are able to clear any obstacles to get your tasks done. 

Hreflang Tag Teting Tool

Google's John Mueller has previously said that implementing hreflang is one of the most complex parts of SEO; using Merkle's Hreflang Tags Testing Tool is one way to make it that little bit easier to check for any errors.

Why we like it: This tool spots problems with hreflang implementation within minutes, and understands the alternate URLs and the targeted region. 

Diagnosing such issues can be time-consuming and frustrating, but when you are able to see the annotations presented in a clear format, spotting that one incorrect tag couldn't be simpler.

Free Local SEO Tools

PlePer Local SEO Tools Chrome Extension

PlePer offers tools and shortcuts for local SEOs. You can get detailed stats regarding any business’s Google listing in Maps, Local Finder, and Knowledge Panel. 

Why we like it: The Chrome extension format offers a useful way to research your local competitors. If you do decide you’d like to dive a little deeper, PlePer also offers paid options that start at $10 per month in addition to heftier enterprise options.

GMBspy Chrome Extension

This extension lets you view categories set for other businesses. Because these categories can influence what appears in the Knowledge Graph, it’s a good step to take in your competitor research. 

Why we like it: While category information is public, it can be tricky and occasionally time-consuming to sift through HTML in order to find it.

This is a quick way to keep tabs on competitors as well as find optimization opportunities for your own listing.

GMB Everywhere Chrome Extension

This local SEO tool is similar to GMBSpy, but offers more features.

In addition to accessing the information on business categories, you can perform basic audits in addition to audits specific to reviews, Google Posts, and Google Maps.

Why we like it: As a free tool, GMB Everywhere provides a wealth of information. Basic audits allow you to access information regarding competitors’ post strategy, post frequency, and post content.

You can compare your strategy to ensure you’re putting enough time and effort into your listing.

Hunter

With Hunter, you can save hours of outreach by finding professional email addresses related to your business in seconds. If you’re using the free version, you’ll get 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.

Why we like it: Reaching out for backlinks and expert quotes can be time-consuming work. With Hunter, you save a lot of that time for other tasks — even with the free version.

Help a Reporter Out (HARO)

HARO is a handy (and mutually beneficial) tool that lets you respond to specific requests for sources or quotes in various industries.

This helps the reporter get accurate information and can help you get more backlinks and more coverage for your brand.

HARO sends source request emails, broken down by industry, each day. If you believe you are a good source for the request, you can respond. However, it’s ultimately down to the reporter to decide which source or quote to use.

Why we like it: HARO makes it easy for anyone to get great backlinks without spending much time on the outreach process. Even if you don’t have anyone on your team dedicated to content promotion, you can still get great results with minimal effort.

Streak

This Chrome extension is essentially a CRM built into your Gmail account. You can automatically capture data from contacts and emails, send personalized emails to contact groups, and get notified when people see your messages.

The free version offers all core CRM features, and paid accounts start at $15 per month.

Why we like it: Streak is also useful for team collaboration. You can automatically share emails, call logs, and more, as well as access data alongside emails so the entire team has context (as seen in the above image).

Google Tools

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a popular free tool that provides in-depth data about your website. Even if you rely on paid SEO tools, using GA is essential for analyzing site traffic over time. 

It can also give you valuable insights about your audience, including where they’re located, what kind of device they use, and their demographics.

Why we like it: It’s the most cost-effective analytics tool (free!) for businesses of all sizes. Even if you’re an SEO novice, you can easily use Google Analytics to demonstrate success — or failure — with evidence and data.

Google Search Console

Another must-have tool for any SEO is Google Search Console. It allows you to measure your site’s search traffic, find out which keywords your site ranks for, and identify technical errors.

GSC reports common errors, including Index Coverage, Core Web Vitals reports, and Mobile Usability. 

Why we like it: There’s no better way to identify and fix issues related to your Google search performance than straight from Google itself. It allows you to see the exact issues that Google sees when it crawls and indexes your site.

You can also:

  • Test individual URLs to see how Googlebot interprets them
  • Submit a sitemap
  • Request the indexation of a URL
  • Access information like clicks, impressions, CTR, and average positions of keywords

Access Search Analytics for Sheets and the Search Console Data Downloader by Dominic Woodman to enhance GSC capabilities.

Google Business Profile

If you run a business with a physical store, use Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) to claim your business listing and appear on Google Maps, in the Knowledge Panel, and in the Local Pack.

Optimizing your Google Business Profile profile is the first step you’ll want to take. Ensure your hours and address are correct, add photos and videos, and respond to all reviews. Doing so will help your business rank locally.

Why we like it: It’s possible to gain a significant competitive advantage if you are prepared to put in the time and effort to optimize your Google listing.

Your competitors might treat it as a “set it and forget it” task, which means they will miss out on opportunities to add new posts, keep Q&As up to date, respond to reviews, add photos, and upload offers.

Google Data Studio

Google Data Studio allows users to combine data from different Google tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to create interactive reports.

Why we like it: Data Studio is a great free reporting tool that shows real-time data and historical comparisons.

As stated by Google, "Blending sources can reveal valuable relationships between your data sets. Creating blended charts directly in Data Studio removes the need to manipulate your data in other applications first, saving you time and effort.”

Google PageSpeed Insights

Page speed is both a ranking factor and a user experience concern, so it’s important to stay on top of it. You can use this tool to understand your PageSpeed score as well as learn how to improve it.

Why we like it: PageSpeed Insights takes the guesswork out of optimizing the loading time of your site. It even prioritizes issues for you with clear suggestions and estimated time savings.

Google Mobile-Friendly Test

Google has been prioritizing mobile-first indexing for years now, so it’s important to keep your site mobile-friendly. All you need to do is paste a URL, and the tool will come back with specific mobile-usability issues to fix.

Why we like it: This user-friendly tool will let you know exactly how your page can improve. Mobile-usability errors include:

  • Uses incompatible plugins
  • Viewport not set
  • Viewport not set to “device-width”
  • Content wider than screen
  • Text too small to read
  • Clickable elements too close together

Google Keyword Planner

Google Keyword Planner is a keyword research tool that helps you choose the right keywords for your ad campaign. 

All you need to do is enter a seed keyword (or a specific URL), and you’ll receive keyword ideas in addition to details on average monthly search volume and competition level.

Why we like it: While there are certainly more in-depth keyword research tools out there, it’s helpful to know competition level and bid estimates from Google. It’s also a great high-level way to start brainstorming ideas for a campaign.

Google Trends

Unsure where to start with content planning? Google Trends is a handy topic research tool that provides insights on what people are searching and where they’re from.

You can search broad topics, compare two topics, or start by taking a look at recently trending topics.

Why we like it: Tracking the popularity of a topic relevant to your business can help you stay on top of trends. Or on the flip side, you can avoid spending time and resources creating content about topics that are dwindling in popularity.

Other Free SEO Tools

Semrush Sensor

Sensor is a 100% free tool from Semrush that shows the volatility of the SERPs for specific industries. You can also track SERP feature occurrences and HTTPS usage.

Why we like it: Finding dips in traffic or outliers in data can be stressful and require time-consuming deep dives.

Before all of that, it’s helpful to find out whether the issues you are seeing are industry-wide or unique to your site.

Semrush Social Media Toolkit

Our Social Media Toolkit includes plenty of great social media solutions even if you don’t have a paid account. You can post on various platforms directly from Semrush, schedule posts in advance, track how your social ads are doing, and more.

Here’s what you can expect in terms of limitations for free accounts: 

  • Social Media Ads: Can only add one ad account
  • Social Media Analytics: No restrictions
  • Social Media Poster: Can post to 10 profiles max
  • Social Media Tracker: Can track 50 profiles max

Why we like it: Posting from various social media accounts on different platforms can be dizzying, so it’s helpful to be able to create and publish your posts all in one place.

With the Social Media Toolkit, you can post to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Google Business Profile without leaving Semrush.

Schema.org

Founded by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Yandex, this community promotes shared vocabulary for structured data across the internet. You can access documentation for all types of schema.

Why we like it: If you need to add a certain type of structured data to your page, all you need to do is look it up and you'll find all the information you need to implement it.

Inspect Canonical

This extension allows users to check the canonical of a page right from their Chrome browser — no need to sift through the source code again.

After seeing a gap for such a tool, Nick LeRoy decide to create it himself:

Why we like it: This easy-to-use tool has a color-coding system that appears directly on your Chrome browser. The "C" icon will appear either red, amber, or green depending on the page. It also includes a message (as seen above) so you know exactly what you're working with.

If you are an SEO by profession, you’ll probably want to invest in some paid SEO tools as well. 

But do you really need to pay for SEO tools? 

While there are plenty of great free options out there, paid tools typically offer greater capabilities, including solutions for managing a large number of clients.

So while you can certainly maintain your SEO presence without having a large budget to spend on tools, things can get tricky quickly, particularly if you are managing many clients.

Read through our paid SEO tools list to learn more about what we think are some of the most impactful options out there.
