Aditya,
These are a great list of SEO tools! I am glad to see your already using a lot of them. That’s why you have had the success in your blog. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Hey Nancy!
Nice tools you got there. Love BuzzSumo and that’s awesome.
Trello is okay but I feel there’s a little learning curve there.
Keep it up, shared around!
Excellent selection. Toggl have just updated their website and I see you already have the updated version on the post. Impressive!!!
Not sure I’m crazy about the new design. It’s FUN! But I think the old one explained better.
Thanks for the post
Hi Michael,
Your very welcome. I am glad you enjoy the post! Thanks for your support.
Keyword Planner (AdWords) from google is not free. It asks for my billing info.
Hey Mary,
Your right, it does ask you for your information. However, when you use the keyword tool it’s a free option.
good list but you need a lot of money in order to use them all !!! I will try Windows Live Writer which I haven’t heard before
Thanks
Thanos
Hi Thanos,
Your right when it comes to using SEO Tools it does cost money. Finding the right tools that works it’s the first step. I do agree think sometimes you do have to spend a bit of money to make more money. However, if your in a budget like myself then using Windows Live is great start!
Great list, been looking for something like Canva as I am horrible with graphics.
Hi Nancy – great list! I think I’ve at least tried all of the tools here, and several are my daily favorites. 🙂 Of course, thank you for including Mention!
– Brittany, Mention Content & PR Manager
Ummm. While this is a great list of tools, most of them have nothing to do with SEO…
I was thinking the same thing.
Hi Nancy Mam!
I liked the list and got some new places to enhnace my marketing approach. Some of above I already use like Google docs, piktochart, sheets, mailchimp and much more.
I am bookmarking this page for future because I know none can remember all of the above.
THanks mam.
Have a nice day
This is a fantastic list! We use Toggl for time tracking and it’s fantastic. Is keyword planner still free?
Adam, keyword planner is still free, but I think it still requires you to have an AdWords account. You don’t have to run any ads, though.
It’s my go-to tool for keyword research. I think you can still do a great job with it as your only research tool, especially on a budget.
Great list, thanks Nancy! I just stumbled on it via your Twitter post. Just started a trial of SE Ranking and I’m pretty excited by the prospect of reporting positions up to #200 to clients – so much easier to demonstrate value on a brand new domain when you can see earlier ranking improvements. Our current tool stops at 100.
We used to use KeePass but have since migrated to LastPass. The Chrome plugin and auto-fill functionality is nice, it works on mobile devices (including autofill) and with a growing team size, the group permissions were the main motivator.
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for this list. I am looking for free landing page creation sites. Could you please share with us List of free landing page creation sites?
Thanks Again,
