Lots of thanks emilia for your help!

I use a lot of the ones you've mentioned here too, but in addition: SEM Rush - which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet?
It's good for Rankings, competitor analysis, adwords analysis and SEO audits - it finds broken links, missing alt text, dupliacte meta tags etc etc. I find the reports it generates quite helpful and easy to use. I've used it for keyword analysis too in the past, but as my site is up and running I don't really do a lot of this anymore - I know what keywords bring in traffic... I'm pretty sure that I only scratch the surface of it and that there is a lot more to be got from it, but I only have so many hours in a day!!!
I don't just use one tool though - I use a few at once and combine the findings. I don't expect one tool to do it all
Hope this helps,
Amelia

You are right! Thanks for your answer.

No such thing as best tool for seo. Seo is huge, so there are different tools for different purposes.
-
That tool is similar to Accuranker. If you have time, you should try it.

No, sorry.
-
I don't know Accuranker, I use CuterRank. ¿Do you know that?
-
Accuranker is cheap, and allows me to instantly see how a page ranks for new content, and for after content is updated. I find it invaluable, as you can submit a page to webmaster tools via fetch and then check rankings 5 minutes later to see the effect (noting, you may see an initial effect and then some days later get more movement).
Cognitive SEO is great if you need full backlink data, i.e. for link cleanups etc or if you get hit by negative SEO etc. Basically it is cheaper than signing up to ahrefs, majestic and moz. Although Moz is great for all the other tools.
-
And the last tools that you say to me, are they good?
-
I use MOZ, screaming frog, semrush, ahrefs, cuterrank, xenu (I have started since Monday) and I don't remember more.
-
I only use two currently:
- Moz
- Accuranker (great rank tracker where you can update your rankings instantly as many times as you want)
- Occasionally I will use cognitiveseo as this takes in Moz, Ahrefs and majestic link data as well as webmaster tools data from your account and is useful for cleaning up backlinks (I was hit by negative seo last year).
I have tried many other tools, but these are the ones I keep going back to.
-
What tools do you use, and maybe I could recommend some others that way
-
Thanks Andy. I know all of them but I am going to search new tools for SEO. I hope that I am lucky. Thanks for all.
-
Lots of thanks! I use more tools but I would like to try new tools. I know all of them but thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately there isn't a 1 amazing tool like everyone has said, its all about using multiple tools and using the best tool to meet the specific task you are trying to complete.
It also depends on what budget you have for SEO software, I am quite fortunate in that I have quite a lot of the software agreed by my MD, but I know some who really struggle.
I use:
- Moz
- Rankwatch - for rank tracking
- Ahrefs
- Searchmetrics
- SEMRush
- Majestic
- Screaming frog
And those are the ones i use frequently there a couple more i have that I cant remember of top of my head that I use for certain tasks and projects.
I wish there was a one best solution, all the above solutions are good, but not great in isolation and need to be used together.
Thanks
Andy

SEO tools are like personal assistants:
- you will never find the "best"
- they never do your job (only assist you/speed you up)
- if you have the budget to have more, you get more work prepared by them
That is my shortlist
I personally use Screaming Frog + Moz, + Majestic + Xovi
I hope this helps.

Hello Carlos,
There isn't something like the best SEO tool, it always depends on you. I suggest you to test some tools (most of them have a free test month) and decide what works out best for you.

350 (Out the 750) Internal Links Listed by Webmaster Tools Dynamically Generated-Best to Remove?
Greetings MOZ Community: When visitors enter real estate search parameters in our commercial real estate web site, the parameters are somehow getting indexed as internal links in Google Webmaster Tools. About half are 700 internal links are derived from these dynamic URLs. It seems to me that these dynamic alphanumeric URL links would dilute the value of the remaining static links. Are the dynamic URLs a major issue? Are they high priority to remove? The dynamic URLs look like this: /listings/search?fsrepw-search-neighborhood%5B%5D=m_0&fsrepw-search-sq-ft%5B%5D=1&fsrepw-search-price-range%5B%5D=4&fsrepw-search-type-of-space%5B%5D=0&fsrepw-search-lease-type=1 These URLs do not show up when a SITE: URL search is done on Google!

SEO for an independent fashion brand - the right tool for the job?
I have a client that is a small but growing fashion brand in the UK, they make sunglasses, eyewear and swim suits. They are priced as a high-end brand, so around £200 for a pair of sunglasses. They have asked me about 'sorting out their SEO', but I am struggling to think of viable keywords we could target that don't contain the name of their brand. The SERPS for anything that would be along the lines of 'buy sunglasses / buy swimsuits' etc are dominated by very big players - big department stores etc, so with their small budget I'm sure would be impossible to crack. My thoughts are that apart from sorting out their on-page SEO (crawlable, sitemap etc) and making sure they rank for their branded terms, that putting money into trying to rank for generic terms around buying swimwear/sunglasses would not be viable. A better route for traffic generation would be through a more content marketing / social media approach to get people sharing their content (e.g. fashion industry commentary) and leading them back to their brand from there. What do others think? Am I missing a trick on the SEO front? thanks

What is the best: one big site or several small ones?
Sometimes I've felt that my choice was incorrect. I know taht with a big amount of content on the same subject a bigger one is better: it’s easier to maintain, and a big number of pages is good for Google ranking, but when you have many small sites, each one focusing on a totally different subject, you can crosslink them and this will improve your rankings. Furthermore, many small sites allow you to focus in specific niches and help you rank better for different keywords. So, what is the best choice?

Domain Name Change - Best Practices?
Good day guys, We got a restaurant that is changing its name and domain. However they are keeping the same server location, same content and same pages (we are just changing the logo on the website). It just has to go a new domain. We don't want to lose the value of the current site, and we want to avoid any duplicate penalties. Could you please advise of the best practices of doing a domain name change? Thank you.

Best practice to change the URL of all my site pages
Hi, I need to change all my site pages URL as a result of moving the site into another CMS platform that has its own URL structure: Currently the site is highly ranked for all relevant KWs I am targeting. All pages have backlinks Content and meta data should remain exactly the same. The domain should stay the same The plan is as follow: Set up the new site using a temporary domain name Copy over all content and meta data Set up all redirects (301) Update the domain name and point the live domain to the new one Watch closely for 404 errors and add any missing redirects Questions: Any comments on the plan? Is there a way (the above plan or any other) to make sure ranking will not be hurt What entries should I add to the sitemap.xml: new pages only or new pages and the pages from the old site? Thanks, Guy.
