80 SEO tools

I’m going to share a list of 79 SEO Tools I keep just above my desk. There are so many different ways to find different types of information about different types of SEO elements, for so many different types of sites… you get the point. I don’t know about you, but there’s no way in hell I can remember them all on a good day, never mind when I need them most.

So here’s the list I keep pinned to the board over my desk. Note that some of the super obvious ones, like Google Analytics or Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools) are not listed. I can remember those ones, and I trust you can too.

Keyword Research: Get inside the heads of you prospects to deliver what they need when they need it.
