TOP 10 Best FREE SEO Tools
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2025 10:34 am
I've already talked about several SEO tools on this blog that are worth paying for. But realistically, who can happily spend the 856 euros per year that the cheapest plan from ahrefs costs, for example? Not everyone, of course. Luckily, there are also plenty of free SEO tools that you can use freely to improve your positioning.
Do you want to know them? This is my personal list .
Top 5 Free SEO Tools
Screaming Frog SEO Spider
This desktop program is one of the most valued in SEO for performing website audits. By analyzing a website with Screaming Frog you will discover, among other things, all its broken links, duplicate content, and its page titles and metas (including a warning if they are too short).
It is a freemium program, but the free version analyzes up to 500 URLs, student database than enough for a standard website.
Link Explorer
Everyone knows the importance of link building for any SEO project. Well, Link Explorer is the best free tool to investigate your competitors' links. It is the new version of Moz's Open Site Explorer. To use it for free, you just need to register.
Answer the public
Out of ideas? With this completely free tool you will receive dozens of suggestions for what to write about on your website just by entering a keyword. Then you will have to check its search volume.
GTMetrix
Perhaps the best free tool for analyzing website performance. You can see your loading speed and all the factors that are slowing it down. The report is very complete and contains all the information you need to speed up your website to the maximum. For me it is even better than Google's Page Speed Test.
KWFinder
KWFinder is one of my favorite tools lately. Very useful for finding keywords to rank for. By entering the keyword it gives you its search volume and its difficulty to rank for, as well as showing you several related keywords. The downside is that with the free version you can only make 5 queries per day.
SEO Hero
SEO Hero is a tool that is still in Beta phase but promises to be very useful. When you enter a keyword in SEO Hero, the program will show you all the related terms. That is, a list of words that appear in the best positioned articles for the keyword you searched for. Without a doubt, it is a great help in designing your content strategy.
Siteliner
This simple tool shows the percentage of duplicate content on a website, as well as other on-page metrics that may be interesting.
Optimize
Most websites already have too many plugins so whenever you can use an external service instead of a plugin, do so. In this case, Optimizilla is an image compressor. It lightens the size of images without losing quality so you can improve the loading speed of your site.
SEO Quake
SEO Quake is undoubtedly the most well-known extension in the SEO world. Thanks to it, you can perform a quick and fairly complete analysis of any page, looking at things like the title or the meta description.
