Want to achieve better SEO results for the lowest possible cost?

SEO tools track the health of your website. They give you actionable data to make it more successful by identifying opportunities and weaknesses that could prevent you from ranking high in SERPs (search engine results pages).

Why SERPs are fundamental for SEO

When most people search, they click organic results on the first page of the SERPs and seldom visit page two.

This is why it’s critical to rank on the first page of Google — if your site appears on page two or beyond, you’re practically invisible.

The top 3 Google search results get 75.1% of all clicks

These 25 free SEO tools will help you optimize your website and improve your rank.

1. Google Pagespeed Insights

Google Pagespeed Insights checks the speed and usability of your site on multiple devices.

Enter a URL, and the tool will test the loading time and performance for desktop and mobile and identify opportunities to improve.

The mobile results also come with a user experience (UX) score, grading areas such as top targets and font sizes.

2. Moz Local Listings Score

Moz’s Local Listing Tool enables you to see how your local business looks online.

In addition to tracking your website traffic, it also surfaces many keyword insights into which terms people use to get to your page.

6. Google Structured Data Testing Tool

Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool uses live data to validate the structured data for any web page.

Structured data, also known as schema markup, is often referred to as the “language of search engines.” It makes it easier for search engines to contextualize, understand, and accurately match website content to relevant search queries.

7. Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools

12. Google SERP Snippet Optimization Tool

The Google SERP Snippet Optimization Tool from Higher Visibility previews how your pages will look in Google search results.

It helps you strategically construct page titles and meta description tags that will result in eye-catching listings in Google’s search results even before you publish a page or post.

It’s so rare in these times to find one man with so much wow factor and more rare to find men with similar interest and passion in their life journey as myself . Dan Elliott has been introduced to many in what is now considered as the Terror Dome , a place where many dreams are not deferred they are detoured to routes that lead to dead ends , he comes in full of optimism so infectious that he, maybe with out knowing is energizing those who have ventured where others would fear going with just the right jolt to forge on in the way of helping fallen humanity … His various fields of expertise has helped many in my region and I can only imagine the number he has effected beyond those I know … from day one I knew “ this was a man of kindred spirit “ Dan Elliott is a Gem and adds glimmer to things he touches … I’m a Witness ….and eternally grateful….L.Rashaan RichMay 21, 2022
