Helpful tools

I’ve mentioned a few different SEO tools throughout this book, so I’m going to recommend some of them that I use when I’m carrying out my own SEO campaigns.

There are several tools that can help businesses improve their search engine rankings and attract targeted traffic to their websites Some of the most popular tools are Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Keyword Planner, Ubersuggest, Semrush, and Ahrefs Let's explore how each of these tools can be beneficial to SEO

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a free web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic By analysing user behaviour on a website, you can gain insights into what content is most popular, which pages are driving the most traffic, and how users are interacting with the website This information can be used to optimise website content, structure, and user experience to improve SEO and attract more targeted traffic

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that allows businesses to easily add and manage tracking tags on their website (a tag being a piece of code that collects data for specific actions on your website). This includes tags for Google Analytics, as well as other marketing and analytics tools. By using Google Tag Manager, businesses can streamline the process of tracking user behaviour and collecting data for SEO analysis.

Google Keyword Planner

Google Keyword Planner is a free tool that helps businesses find relevant keywords for their SEO strategy.
