What tools do you need for SEO – Everything You Need To Know
Analysis of websites using SEO tools is a significant part of search engine optimization. Being said, nothing is measured and nothing is improved without 100% correct SEO.
Compiling a list of SEO tools can be a daunting task. My goal here is to grab those we find most valuable in terms of SEO. Similarly, on the other hand, buffer those which we can use every minute on the internet to gain amazing insights.
Pro-Tip: The important part of setting up your SEO strategy is figuring out how you will track your performance using SEO tools.

I try to keep everything as jargon-free as possible without insisting on the ability to act. It has to be simple, or at least the basics.
In the first part, to help you understand the basics,
We cover the three most important SEO tools for websites:
- Google Search Console,
- Google Analytics, and
- Rank Tracking Tools.
Google Search Console provides tools to help you submit your content to Google and monitor what you do with Google Search. Meanwhile, it can also send you notifications for any critical issues that Google has with your site.
Google Analytics is used to monitor website metrics. They include reports on;
- Real-time
- Audience
- Acquisition
- Behavior
- Conversions
Rank tracking tools, as the name it helps to trace the ranking of the website in SERP. The most popular rank tracking tools are;
- Rank Tracker,
- Position Tracking Tool from SEMrush,
- Rank Tracker by Ahref’s, and
- SERP Watcher by Mangools.
Add-on: Another nice feature of the SEO tools is the SERP Preview. This tool shows a preview of how your site will appear in search results. You can see how your titles and meta descriptions are optimized. Subsequently, you will get to know how to make changes if needed.
Successful SEO is not about tricking Google. It’s about PARTNERING with Google to provide the best search results for Google’s users.” – Phil Frost, Main Street ROI
And also, with tools like Moz, SEO becomes a guessing game. We compare your website traffic and optimization with your competitors. We can see which sites and search terms (keywords) do well with their competitors and change our web practices to compete with them.
What is SEO without Coding?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial these days. New trends such as the rise of language search and the machine learning revolution mean that you need to improve your SEO game if you want to be ahead today.
Playing SEO games doesn’t truly mean SEO without coding will not give you results. Coding is just a bonus point when you play with SEO. SEO does work fine even without coding.

Does SEO require Coding?
To be honest, NO!! One doesn’t necessarily need to be a Coder or should have coding knowledge to plan and execute an SEO strategy. But yes, an acquaintance of coding does add some value to the content. Otherwise, it’s completely fine to perform SEO without coding.
Conclusion:
In short, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of making your website better in search engines.
For example, imagine trying to build a table with your hands. You need tools such as saws, tape measure, drills, screwdrivers, to name just a few. Certainly, if you want to build websites, you have to come up with something else. And that something else is what we call ‘SEO Tools’.
