An Almost Complete List Of SEO Tools (2020)
Which of these SEO tools are not in your toolbox?
There are a huge number of great paid tools on the market, from suites that try and do everything like SEMrush, to the highly specialised ones that focus on a single task such as Copyscape. I’ve collected a few here that are worth investigating for junior search engine optimisation professionals or for more seasoned pros who want to check if they are missing out.
I’ve broken the list down into sections and plan to expand on this in the future. Desktop readers can jump to the section they are curious about by hitting the links below.

Keyword Research
The most important aspect of search engine optimisation. Without the correct targets, how can you have the correct goals? Keyword research should lead the site architecture and give you an in-depth insight into how to group your content. It will also indicate how best to interlink that content and uncover the most profitable keywords and phrases.
Keyword volume is one of the key metrics you’ll be using to priortise your keywords but care should be taken. Many of the keyword research tools below just pull the data straight from Google’s Keyword Planner, this data is not reliable, particularly when looking at keywords with low volume or searches that are geo specific.
Ahrefs(and SimilarWeb) is slightly more reliable as they have an internal process that references data from Alexa/Clickstream sources.
I should mention that the creators of SERPWoo are very proud of their search volume estimates, but also secretive of their sources. And rightly so, as accurate data leads to better decisions.
But the important takeaway is that keyword volume is guideline and not a reliable metric of the traffic you can expect to see.
Originally under a slightly different spelling, this great tool *sheets* out keywords from a variety of sources and is a great resource when doing the time intensive process of keyword research.
You will need to filter and prioritise these results as the amount of keywords you’ll get back can be intimidating.
Swiss Made Marketing came out with this expensive tool in 2014/2015 and it simplified the arduous task of completing comprehensive keyword research and grouping the phases topically. Whilst I don’t use it so much anymore, it’s still worth a look.
This is my go to tool for a lot of things. They have continually innovated and added features. I find myself exporting their raw data to work with in an excel spreadsheet more often than not.
Historically, a rank tracker but like Ahrefs, these guys are always looking for ways that they can use their data in new and interesting ways. They have a very useful metric called volatility which can help decide on whether a keyword is worth pursuing.
It’s a bit of a Swiss army knife of SEO tools, but I’ll include it here as my main use for it over the years was for pulling data via the APIs to prioritise keyword lists.
From the same dev as Keyword Sheeter, I’m not sure if its search volume is buggy but there’s large inconsistencies in this tool vs what I see in Search console. Has some useful metrics.
There are literally dozens of more keyword research tools that can be worked into your research strategy process and there are some VBscripts/Macros that can be useful for filtering data that I’ll add in the future.

Andrew Ainsley of Raven Tools talks through his process.
Nick Eubanks dated but useful process.
SERPWoo’s volatility metric could be useful as a way to target keywords.
Keyword golden ratio is allintitle over search vol. Scrape and calculate it yourself in bulk using A-Parser and decent proxies.
Browser Extensions
Depending on what task you are doing the will be a number of add-ons or extensions that will give you a better or quicker insight into your competition.
As an SEO the number of browser extensions you have installed can grow to an unmanageable number quite quickly. So probably the most important extension is your extension manager, which will allow you to active and deactivate these plugins as needed.
This is not an exhaustive list but more of a place to get started and depending on the type of sites you are working on and the stack used, you may need something more specific.
- SEO Quake
A long time staple of search engine optimisation folks, the browser plugin provides a wealth of information at the page and domain level. There are literally too many features to list. It can be used to tighten up content for on page SEO, is a handy way to pull the top 100 SERP results into a CSV file, plugs into many backlink checkers and much, much more.
- Detailed — SEO Extension
Not quite a replacement for SEO Quake but a much more streamlined plugin with many of the same features. Things like the robots.txt, schema and the archive.org are only a click a way.
Actually the more I use it, the more I coming to rely on it. Glen released a very good SEO course in 2019 and you can see how this little extension allows him to speed up his workflow immeasurably. His blog post on creating your own bookmarklets is also worth a look.
Another one from Viperchill’s big boy pants company. This removes the breadcrumbs that obscure the url path in Google’s SERPS and is invaluable when eyeballing how well optimised a serp is for the target keyword. It also reveals sites with poor planning or repeated use of the keyword in the URL.
It does seem to break on some versions of Google, eg google.ng.
- Browseo V3
This is not a browser extension but a customised browser that allows you to maintain multiple personas each with an individualized proxy attached. There are a large number of reasons why this can come in handy and whilst this is a great tool, the recurring fee makes it a little too expensive unless you have a particular use-case.
There are other options such as ‘Session Box’ and the bug bounty community has recently adopted the FireFox extension Temporary Containers. This won’t get around browser finer printing though, so you have been warned.
- What Runs Where
What Runs Where gives a basic overview of the web technologies used to build a site or web-app. If you are checking the competence of your competition, this is a good place to start. But perhaps not as useful as the next extension.
- Builtwith
Built With Site Profiler provides a huge amount of useful data including connected websites that are using the same analytics tags, redirected domains, a much more in-depth look at the technologies being used on the site and meta information.
This has multiple issues and can turn up networks of connected sites within a niche to show the true depth of a competitor.
- Mangools SEO Extension
A like for like replacement for SEO Quake, you may prefer the interface. It’s not as feature rich with things like a link to domain whois and archive.org missing.
- Disable Javascript
There will be multiple occasions when you’ll need to see how a page is rendered before javascript gets involved. This is a handy little switch that gives you an immediate view of the vanilla HTML and CSS.
An essential little tool when evaluating PWA that renders much of the page at the server level.
- SEERobots
I highly recommend this extension as checking the X-Robots tags is needed on an ongoing basis, whether you need to check if a link is on a no-indexed page, or for making sure you have correctly switched a transferred domain back to the indexed version.
This has saved many me and others from many blushes over the years. After a site migration, with all the things you need to do, the final step of switching on indexing can easily be overlooked.
- MagicCSS
A handy little extension that allows you to edit the CSS on a live page before making changes to the site’s CSS code or for quickly testing a change before loading up your A/B testing platform of choice.
- Grammarly
Poor spelling and grammar is something that can be easily avoided and makes a terrible first impression. There is no excuse for poor spelling and grammar n this day and age.
There are privacy concerns with this tool due to their rumoured deal with ClickStream but it does one thing very well.
Multiple use case scenarios. You may need to test you are blocking the correct bots, test that your paywalled content is available to Googlebot or test that your competition is not cloaking content. List of UserAgents here.
Pulls a rake of data out of the HTML of a page including Opengraph tags, Schema/Microdata, details of forms, images and h2 tags. It’s nicely formatted with alerts for egregious problems.
- Ghosterly
Whilst marketed as a way to block tracking scripts around the web, it’s also very useful for checking that your own Facebook pixel / Google Ads / Remarketing cookies are firing correctly.
Whilst not a browser extension per se, allows for analysis of page loading time, resources used and much more.
A little extension that allows you to run code in the browser. Lots of opportunities to simplify SEO tasks, analysis and fix the web.
Wordpress Plugins
There is a sea of Wordpress plugins that have value, but ideally we should all be avoiding using plugins or quick hacks as much as possible due to their inherent security risk.
One increasing trend is the use of plugins as a backdoor to place links on your site. Nefarious actors will reach out to establilshed plugin developers and offer to buy the plugin for a reasonable sum. It’s only one quick update from backdooring your site, so take care and do some research before installing something new or better yet code it yourself.
- RankMath
After Yoast has proved themselves completely unreliable in recent years with bug after bug that negatively effected rankings, a better alternative is RankMath who are adding functionality to their core plugin rather than reducing features.
- Redirection
Includes a host of useful features including 404 error log files from within WP, which allows anybody to find and fix misconfigured inbound links, and lost link juice.
- WP Tag Manager
There are a number of ways to integrate Google’s Tag Manager into a WP site, the best option is to include the code in a child theme but this is plugin is useful if that’s not an option.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
Conversion rate optimisation or what recruiters like to advertise as “post click analysis” when done right, can have a huge impact on your ROI per visitor.
Feature rich and at a great price point, VWO allows A/B testing segmentation, mutually exclusive groups all based on an intuitive platform. Highly recommended for sites that have the needed traffic to gain useful insights. Customer support is also excellent.
- Effective Experiments
Not very familiar with this platform yet but a number of people have recommended it. It’s on my to do list.
- Hotjar
Handy platform particularly the heat mapping function that allows you to pinpoint any CRO errors or usability issues on specific pages. It has a generous free tier and should be implemented on any landing pages to diagnose for design errors.
Email Tools
Email is the bread and butter of any digital marketer and is probably one of the biggest time-sinks there is, if not done right. Here are a couple of tools that are useful at reducing the amount of time you’ll spend on email.
- Hunter.io
There are a lot of tools that provide a similar service with more being brought to market all the time. Hunter.io has a pretty reliable database of domain and email addresses and has a handy little tool baked in for deducing the email structure used by a company.
- GMass
One of the first mass emailing services I tried that allows you to use GMail’s email servers. When I used it, it wasn’t a mature product and lacked a number of important features, the most important being error checks. It was possible to send several hundred email(or thousand) by mistake, and not have a fallback for the first name. I’m sure it’s been improved since I looked at it.
- StreakCRM
Sterak CRM allows for open and click tracking, automation of leads through the sales process, integrates with Google Sheets and is pretty intuitive to use.
Despite the advertised limitations of the free plan, there is no limit on the number of open trackers per month, or at least there wasn’t in April of 2019 when I last tested.
- Mailshake
Send email using Google’s trusted email servers allowing for a higher level of deliverability. It has integrated automated email follow-up and helpful functions that stop you emailing the same person multiple times.
Honourable mention for Sendgrid.
Handy little wizard for generating the needed Sender Policy Framework for securing email.
Generator for DomainKeys Identified Mail, used to assure email sender integrity.
List of resources to assist with the setting up of a Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance record.
Tool for checking the domain reputation for email and its deliverability.
I have a quick rundown of some considerations to improve email deliverability over here that might be worth a read.
Rank Trackers
Rank Trackers are pretty boring, generally you need them to do one thing and one thing well. There has been some innovation in this space, but not a whole lot.
- SERPWoo
Is a not really a rank tracker, at least not in the conventional sense. It tracks the SERP and not just your position within it. This allows for detailed analysis on changes after updates, and investigation of competitors who are making gains.
- Ahrefs
When you are tracking keywords for a large project conventional rank trackers can get prohibitively expensive. Ahrefs can give you a top down view of your site with delayed results. It does have an integrated “Project Tracker”, but like the more conventional trackers out there, this can get very expensive.
- SEMrush
SEMrush tries to do it all and in some areas fails, the rank tracking part of their set up is quite robust and feature rich though.
- SERPRobot
The best bang for your buck rank tracker out there. A no frills service that does one thing really well. Highly recommended, especially if you are snipping for Rich Snippets.
Automation
- UBot Studio
Ubot studio is not cheap and to be honest is pretty buggy. It does give you the ability to automate almost any task quickly from building a twitter bot to manipulating RSS feeds. Over the years, I find I use it less and less and many things can be done with a rudimentary understanding of Python.
- Scrapebox
Scrapebox has a bad reputation due to its overuse by comment spammers back in the day but it has a 101 small features that always come in handy including the quick url dedupe feature.
- GSA SER
Not particularly relevant anymore but like Scrapebox, can still have its uses.
- GSA Email Finder
Due to changes in EU legislation, scraping information of any kind is now illegal. A quick look at any server logs will show that this is not adhered to by many and enforcing the new law appears to be impossible, but the fact remains that tools such as GSA’s are now illegal.
- A-Parser
A fantastic parser that can assist in data gathering from a number of sources. A self hosted solution and recently rebuilt with a node backend also allows for post parsing manipulation, the documentation is a pain though.
Link Analysis Tools / Backlink Checkers
Backlink profile analysis is one of the fundamental aspects of SEO and a true understanding of why some sites rank and others tank often comes down to careful investigation of the a domain’s link profile.
Whilst proprietary metrics such as Moz’s DR and Ahrefs DA give an indication as to a site’s authority, the devil is in the detail and you have to look at the links on tier 1 and tier 2 to really understand what is happening.
- Ahrefs
Considered by many to be the best tool in the game. Whilst Ahrefs doesn’t have the biggest link index, they seem to be able to filter the low quality links better than the competition. New links appear sooner than the competition too and the company have steadily improved the feature set over the years.
Plus the interface allows you to drill down to get at useful information without exporting the data to a spreadsheet.
*** Seemed to have recently made changes and their crawlers are now picking up more links but including lower quality. This could give some webmasters a false sense of progression. Update looks like it happened in April / May time.
- Moz Open Site Explorer
The industry standard for many years, Moz’s metrics were too easily manipulated and they really stopped trying in 2014/2015 allowing others to move ahead. They have an impressive link index now but for everyday use, just don’t seem to find new links for months and bad data makes for bad decisions.
- SEMRush
They have recently boasted about having the largest link index in the industry, but again like Moz, new links just don’t appear in their system quickly enough to be relied upon.
SEMrush may be a good option for small shop digital marketing firms as they have a wide range of tools in their bundle, but for link analysis and understanding a domain’s link profile, I personally find it difficult to work with.
- Majestic
Majestic’s two proprietary metrics, TrustFlow and CitationFlow were modelled closely after one of Google’s original patents and give a useful view of the power and trust of a link or domain. It’s still open to manipulation but is more useful than many other proprietary metrics.
Majestic’s link index is comprehensive and their crawler surfaces links quicker than many of the competition, even turning up links that Ahrefs fails to.
- Search Console
Google’s search console contains a selection of links that Google’s crawler has come across but like most data Google provides, it is purposefully incomplete.
- Linkody
Linkody is a meta type service that allows you to combine backlink sources such as MOZ and Ahrefs.
I haven’t used LRT’s platform outside of a limited trial as it’s always been outside of my budget. They do pull data from the greatest number of sources and deduplicate the results with their link detox tool having an excellent reputation. They run a quality blog too.
- Netpeak Checker
Very useful tool, you plug in your API keys for the services such as Ahrefs, Majestic, etc and pull only the specific data you need.
Crawlers
Technical SEO is an essential part of any search optimisation role and it usually begins with a crawl.
The long time industry standard continues to add features as technical SEO evolves with recent integration of page speed tests, schema mark up and an update to its server log file analysis. Some argue that the UI could do with an update but why change when everyone is used to it as it is?
SiteBulb has a similar feature set to Screaming Frog but gives you that information in a way that is easier to act upon. It’s also more beginner friendly, in that issues are categorised and ranked in “perceived importance”.
I use both SiteBullb and Screaming Frog. Sitebulb when looking to improve the overall quality of a domain and Screaming Frog when I’m looking for specific issues.
- Xenu Link Sleuth
A bit of a throwback, this Win32 crawler is free and could still be useful to some.
- Deepcrawl
Deepcrawl is an enterprise level SASS targeting sites with a footprint of larger than 500,000 pages. I have worked directly on sites of a max size of 380,000 pages and never had the need to employ Deepcrawl. Recruiters seem to use the same copy and paste list of SEO tools in all their adverts.
Scanner that can turn up easily missed errors, tailored for PWAs.
Being able to load Screaming Frog on an AWS instance or Google’s Cloud Platform to skirt the issue of a lack of memory makes this tool redundant for me.
Backlink Monitoring Tools
When you’ve worked hard to earn your links, you don’t want to give them up without a fight, or at least an angry email requesting your link be restored.
Like all things nowadays, the trend is toward recurring fee SAAS applications. This of course, is far from ideal and whilst applications benefit from a SAAS type set up, this is unnecessary for backlink monitoring.
- Inspyder Backlink Monitor
A great little tool that can be run when needed that checks backlinks and notifies you when you loose a link. You can set it up for tiered links too.
Content Analysis Tools
The term ‘Scientific SEO’ has been thrown around in recent years but it’s really just a sales pitch for an industry that has to juggle so many ranking factors and wants to ally clients fears that SEO work will bear fruit with time.
Scientific SEO is using correlative analysis to provide the elements Google is rewarding for a specific search term.
Content analysis allow you to statistically investigate the factors that correlate with a high position for a given search term. Peeling back some aspects of your page that you may have overlooked, that need improvement. More tools are coming to market all the time offering these features, but here are the most popular.
Reasonably priced, SurferSEO has the most streamlined user interface that allows you to focus improving the content. It’s easy for writers to understand and make the most of and you still have the data when you need to look under the hood.
CoraSEO the greatest amount of raw data. The developer has gone to some lengths recently to present that data in an easily digestible way. But you are still working with a Spreadsheet. And whilst you can gain the most insight from this tool, it’s not something you can hand off to a writer or junior SEO. The data has to be interpreted and the SERP has to be analysed in context.
I was an early adopter of Pop after seeing the results Kyle Roof got with his now infamous local lorem ipsum test. The UI has passed through several iterations as features were added and after trying SurferSEO, I made the switch.
- Siteliner
This is a great tool to help quickly diagnose the amount of duplicate content on your site. You won’t need a paid account to quickly get an estimate of how serious an issue you have. Remember the more unique your page, the higher the chance that Google will index it and keep it indexed.
- Copyscape
One of the first checks you perform on any content you receive from writers is a plagiarism check. Whilst there are several new services out in the last number of years, many of them use Copyscape’s API, so you might as well get the service from the source and save in the process.
Productivity & Project Management Tools
- OmniFocus
OmniFocus is a task manager for MacOSX. There are numerous other options out there, but I’ve found that this is the one that works for me. There is a hacked together Android client
From the same people who do Omnifocus, makes project management simple, integrates with iCal.
SaaS software for project management. Has most features you could need but gets expensive the bigger your organisation.
Xmind is an open source mind mapping program that works across all the major platforms. It can be of great benefit when you are trying to map out a url structure for a new site or planning major site changes. Some people use it as a note taking or checklist app but in my opinion, there are better options out there for these tasks.
Notetaking app, Evernote is great, but you don’t own your data and do my mind, there’s no way to export your data. CherryTree is a cross platform alternative. It’s not as pretty but gets the job done.
OSINT & Research Tools
Open source intelligence tools may seem like overkill but are important if you need to find a competitor’s PBN or want to map a business’s various web properties to understand the full breadth of their business.
- TinyEye
Excellent reverse image look up service. Numerous applications.
- DomainIQ
Serves some data on domains, not very reliable, the data should be verfied using other services.
- ipfingerprints
Standard reverse IP lookup service
- DomainTools Whois
Comprehensive whois service with paid historical data.
Find snippets of code, universal footprints and much more.
As above but for application source code.
Citation Resources & Services
You may think that citations aren’t relevant for international SEO, but have a variety of uses. There are some countries, where you need a minimum number of links from local ccTLDs. They can also be used as pillowing links to dilute your backlink profile.
- Brightlocal
Managed service based in the UK with a nice portal for keeping an eye on progress and indexation. Worth the money if you prefer a more hands off approach.
- WhiteSpark
Similar to bright spark but with a greater database of niche specific directory sites. Won’t suite every time of business but things like dentists and lawyers are covered.
- Fiverr
There are several fiverr gigs that do the job to the same level of quality as the above premium services at a fraction of the price.
Proxy Providers
There are a variety of situations where you may need proxies. Describing the different types of proxies and their uses is outside the scope of this article. The proxy providers all promise the sun moon and stars but without testing each service regularly you won’t be able to judge the quality of service.
- Infatica
Residential and mobile proxies with a global network. Pricing is per GB and of course, not cheap.
- BuyProxies
Haven’t used them in a number of years, they were the go to provider for a long time. Unaware of the proxy quality or reliability in recent years.
Content Delivery Networks
- CloudFlare
Free service with an integrated WAF to protect against DDOS attacks. CloudFlare greatly simplifies the process of updating or switching servers with immediate DNS record updates.
They provide a free SSL cert but the increasing number of sites that use CloudFlare and the way the free SSL cert is implemented mean you are trusting them with your data.
They are also being used to for site caching which will hide your server IP from all but the most determined hacker.
- Amazon Web Services / CloudFront
Enterprise level content delivery network that can greatly reduce a server’s time to first byte. Integrates with S3 and the Amazon WAF meaning faster and more secure sites, at a price though.
- Incapsula / Imperva
I have yet to use this Incapsula / Imperva but I’ve heard good things and would like to take a closer look when the opportunity presents itself.
E-Commerce Tools & Resources
Out of the box, most e-commerce platforms are horribly optimised for SEO. The worst offender being WooCommerce. Will update this section moving forward.
- CartFlows
Cartflows doesn’t solve all of WooCommerce issues, but it does remedy a couple of the major shortfalls of the default cart allowing you to upsell when it comes to payment.
Search Engine Provided Tools & Services
The various search engines provide some useful tools that can be used in various ways for digital marketing. Everything from a customised search engine to notify you of when your brand is mentioned, to help identifying global trends can be found.
There is one caveat though and that is that the data should be taken as an indication rather than the cold hard truth. Google’s keyword volume is the prime suspect here. Google has no responsibility to provide accurate data and nor would it be in their best interests to provide anything more than an approximation.
- Google Trends
A good way to identify seasonal trends for a topic or product. It’s always best to compare your target with a topic or product that you have hard data on so that you can infer the general levels of interest.
- Google AdWords Keyword Tool
The source data for most keyword volume tools, but is wildly inaccurate. Keyword groupings can provide some insight.
- Google Alerts
There are a number of SAAS based projects that sell Google Alerts for ridiculous prices with a nice front end. Google Alerts allows you to set up notifications for keywords. When Google’s crawler encounters your keyword, you get an alert. Very handy tool to keep an eye on your brand name and competitors.
- Google Analytics
Industry standard analytics program, very powerful but with a couple of missing features, or features that require a deep dive into the config panels.
- Google Custom Search Engine
Google allows you to “create” your own search engine and only include your competitors. This helps to identify new posts or major changes within your niche.
- Google Search Console
Allows for mining a plethora of information on your progress in organic search. It often turns up keywords that you’ll miss via traditional keyword research.
- Bing Webmaster Tools
With less than 3% of the population using Bing, it’s ignored by most SEOs and digital marketers as the results are too easily manipulated and users have migrated to Google over the years.
The webmaster tools used to turn up a number of inbound links that did not appear in Google’s offering and this data can come in handy when you are disavowing links and want the largest dataset to work with.
Not useful for SEO particularly but it’s a really interesting project. It’s meta-search engine that you self host. They have numerous engines that allow for a range of customisations plus integration of proxy support, adding RSS feeds to search queries and many more.
- Google Sheets
Arguably more useful than Excel. Ben Collins has a nice introduction to scripting.
Google’s mobile test allows you to see how a page is rendered by Google and indicates some potential issues. You can test for the best time to trigger pop-ups and not effect Google’s view of your UX.
Also shows the final rendered HTML as Google sees it.
Search Engine Tools / Hacks
- USearchFrom.Com
The dynamic nature SERP results mean that the Google results you are seeing, is not always the same as what your clients or competitors are seeing. Whilst there are ways around this, one quick hack to see the results in a different country is usearchfrom.com. The creator built it out of frustration with a similar site who failed to implement some basic but essential upgrades.
- Penguin Analysis Tool
A handy little tool for identifying the nature of a penalty. Less useful in the last number of years with the rolling core releases.
Useful online DNS tool for checking DNS and Nameserver changes.
Checks for DNS changes propagation at various server across the world.
Quick & Dirty Tools
- Text Mechanic
Whilst many of the features of this web app can be found in a good text editor, the ease of use of text mechanic makes it a big winner. Started as a small weekend project years ago, the creator checked his analytics one day to the shock that if was seeing high traffic and that SEOs and web masters had come to rely on it. He has since monetised it and the restrictions are a bit of an annoyance but hey, still a great tool in a pinch.
- Mergewords
Handy tool when doing Adwords or keyword research.
When performing a 301, installing an SSL cert or a million other small tasks, you may need to check that all versions of a URL have been correctly configured. This little tool comes in handy.
- Wordcounter.io
Another quick single use tool if you need to check word count on the fly.
A nice little front end for Google’s Knowledge Graph API. Useful for baselining a clients current entity in Google.
- BulkAddURL (Defunct)
The developer has dropped the project due to a change in how search console indexes pages.
Page indexer, useful when you are trying to get disavowed links crawled quickly.
- Link Inject
People say good things, I haven’t tested it.
Python Libraries
Python is a great language and one I’m still learning. It’s slowing replacing a range of different tools and processes and I would like more time to develop my knowledge.
Python script to find ip addresses hidden behind CloudFlare name servers. Good introduction can be found here.
Worth taking a look at but not worth spending much time on. A pretty limited framework for scraping data.
Far more robust and feature rich library capable of querying APIs.
