Which SEO Tools does Verseo use for website positioning?
SEO specialists’ work consists mainly of analysing large amounts of data and drawing conclusions useful for positioning – both for optimization and link building. Specialized SEO tools are an invaluable support in everyday work of a positioner. Here’s a quick overview of selected, popular tools.
Google Search Console
Let’s start our review with a tool that was not created with SEO specialists in mind, but which enjoys considerable and well-deserved popularity among them. It is a tool from Google’s stable (and here we have an immediate explanation why it is not a tool dedicated to positioners) currently known as Google Search Console, and in the past as Google Webmaster Tools. The authors intended it as a tool for webmasters who want to take care of the highest quality of their website and its proper functioning.
A great advantage of Google Search Console is its versatility: it provides comprehensive information about, among other things, the possibility of indexing a given website by web robots, problems with meta tags, data about possible penalties from Google, website traffic, link profile, server errors or problems with non-functional subpages. The proper functioning of this tool and its analytical value depend strictly on the possibility of connecting it with a particular website – in practice, this means that FTP or CMS access is required (depending on a particular case). It is worth noting that this is a free tool.
Majestic SEO
Majestic SEO PRO is one of the market-leading link profile analysis tools. It provides a rich set of link data in two views: current (referred to as “fresh”) and historical. Access to historical data can be particularly valuable when past linking is the source of problems with rankings and effective positioning.
In addition to the obvious link counts for such a tool, the data provided by Majestic SEO includes information such as:
- number of domains these links originate from,
- Trust Flow and Citation Flow parameters,
- language of the pages from which the links originate,
- category of pages from which the links are coming from (this allows you to determine whether these are links from industry relevant pages)
- type of links – dofollow or nofollow, redirected or leading directly to given page, with or without anchor, placed in graphics or hidden under graphics etc.
To sum up, we are dealing with a very useful tool providing a lot of information.
Ahrefs
This is another popular tool among positioners, which facilitates their daily work. Ahrefs allows you to perform such actions as:
- keyword analysis,
- competitive analysis,
- link profile research,
- content research,
- position monitoring,
- alerts and notifications about mentions on the Internet and in social media about a particular company, product, service, competitor, etc.
Ahrefs boasts an impressive client list with such well known brands as Facebook, Netflix, Tripadvisor or Ebay. Ahrefs can be especially appreciated in situations when we position English websites. Ahrefs’ strong point is its link analysis functionality. It has a reputation of being very reliable. If we care about a very comprehensive link profile analysis, it is worth reaching for Ahrefs and comparing its data with those obtained from Majestic SEO or Google Search Console.
Clusteric
