Who says you have to spend money to get more traffic?

There are tons of free SEO tools that can help you drive more traffic. Sure, you may know of some, like Ubersuggest, but there are many more options than just my own tool.

Before I dive into the tools, I’ve broken them down into the following categories:

• Keyword Research
• Content Marketing
• Rank Tracking
• Link Building
• Technical SEO

So, are you ready to dive in? Let’s get started!

Keyword Research

All of the tools in this category will help you find more keywords. Many of them have different ways of coming up with keyword suggestions, so you may want to check them all out.

Ubersuggest

Ubersuggest has many different keyword research options and a free Chrome extension you can use from the SERPs. First of all, it shows you how many searches a keyword has had over the last 12 months, so you can see any seasonality.

In addition to that, it pulls keywords from a few different sources such as Google Suggest and its own database, it shows you all of the keywords your competition ranks for, and it provides keyword suggestions based on questions, comparisons, and prepositions.

My favorite feature of Ubersuggest’s keyword research capabilities is that not only can you see how competitive a term is, but it also tells you how many links the average ranking website contains. Here’s how you do that:

Step #1: Enter Your Keyword and Click “Search”

Step #2: Click “Keyword Ideas” in the Left Sidebar

Step #3: Click on a keyword from the provided list

Step #4: Review the data

For the keyword phrase “content marketing strategy,” the average web page that ranks in the top 10 of Google has 479 backlinks. This provides a clear idea of how many links you need to build to rank well.

What’s also unique about Ubersuggest is that it provides local keyword suggestions. This is great if you are trying to do local SEO.

Answer The Public

Answer The Public leverages Google Suggest to find all of the questions people may have related to any industry or keyword.

Just type in a keyword, and it will give you a laundry list of questions people are searching for related to that keyword.

Similar to Ubersuggest, it also shows you comparison and preposition-related keywords.

I like the tool because compared to any competing tool, it represents the data in nice visuals.

KeywordTool.io

SEO doesn’t just exist on Google. You can also rank higher on Amazon, YouTube, Bing, and tons of other sites.

KeywordTool.io uses the same concept as Google Suggest, but for a handful of sites like Amazon, Play Store, and YouTube.

If you are performing SEO on sites other than Google, you should check out KeywordTool.io.
