5 SEO Tools You Should Use to Enhance the Performance of Your Website

Google Search Console

What you should definitely consider is setting up a Google Search Console account.  It provides information on how Google crawls, indexes, and serves your websites to searchers. You are also able to identify and monitor any new issues on your site such as 404 errors.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a great free tool website owners can use to investigate traffic and visitor behaviour. It allows you to see whether there are any technical issues on your site at present and where it can be improved using metrics such as bounce rate and your conversion goals.

Page Speed Insights

Another tool that we’d highly recommend using is Google’s Page Speed Insights, especially with the introduction of core web vitals. It carries out several tests and gives you a good indication of how user experience, and thus SEO, can be improved.

A Keyword Research Tool

To get more from your online presence, we would recommend investing in keyword research tools that will help you to identify the sorts of keywords you should be targeting to bring the right traffic to your site.

Additional Tools They Offer

Ahrefs and SEMrush offer a full suite of tools to help site owners with the various aspects of SEO, such as link building to build site authority and increase referral traffic, and tools to spot technical issues.

Chrome Extensions and CMS Plugins

We thought that we’d also mention extensions and plugins here in this post as they can help to dramatically decrease time spent on mundane tasks such as reviewing metadata. Chrome extensions such as “SEO META in 1 Click”. CMS plugins also condense work needed to be done and can be a real god-send for those who have limited coding experience. Two good ones we’d recommend for anyone doing SEO are “All in One SEO” and “Yoast”.

For your SEO efforts to be successful, it’s vital that these tools and the insights gained are used as a part of a larger plan and digital marketing strategy.
