People love SEO analysis tools. I know because I\u2019ve been sharing my most-used SEO tools on LinkedIn for years, and these posts have always been amongst my most popular, getting as many as 146 comments and 144 reposts. Here\u2019s the latest installment on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The interest in my SEO tools posts has never surprised me because SEO tools are overwhelming. There are so many.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the last ten years in SEO, I\u2019ve tried and tested many tools and have a shortlist of 12 must-use SEO analysis tools.<\/p>\n

In this article, I\u2019ve not just shared the tools. I wanted to give you so much more than that. For each SEO analysis tool, I\u2019ve outlined a description of the tool, how you can start using it, the price, and alternatives. I\u2019m aware that my preferences might not be the same as yours, and I wanted this guide to be actionable and succinct, not overwhelmed with tools, so some tools that aren’t mentioned in detail are listed as alternatives instead.<\/p>\n

The takeaway? If a tool is mentioned in detail or as an alternative, it\u2019s a solid, tried and tested recommendation.<\/p>\n

Under each tool, I\u2019ve provided a specific use case of how I use it to do something unique, so you can level up your analysis with my favorite tips for using each tool.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n
