Keyword Research Tools
Here are the best tools for keyword research.
↦ SEMRush
SEMRush is an awesome website research tool. You can check search engine or PPC stats on any website, and see your rankings, or your competitor’s rankings. I love using it for keyword jacking. Here are 2 ways you can use this tool in just a few mins:
1. Easy Wins Method: Put in your website URL. Under Organic Research on the left, click positions. See what you’re ranking for on page 2, re-optimize your pages, or add links (internal or external) to boost your rank.
2. Keyword Jacking Method: Get your competitor’s domains and run a keyword report on them. Sort the report by keyword volume, jack their keywords, and either add them to your existing pages or build out new pages. BOOM. Here’s a quick example video for reference.
↦ KWFinder
Quickest keyword tool ever! This will show strength values that come from majestic (TF & CF), & Unique linking IPs for the top 10 results, as well as PR. Awesome. You can use this in combination with all the keyword ideas you got from Semrush (item #1).

Backlink Analysis Tools
You can check the backlinks of any site with these tools. I use them for all of the following:
1. Overview of what’s going on with a site (any anomalies etc)
2. Checking for over-optimization
3. Checking competitors to see if they have any good links or to replicate their links
4. Doing general research on domains That all being said, these 3 tools do about the same thing but each one has strengths & weaknesses. Here’s what I think about all 3:
↦ 1. Ahrefs – Best at catching backlinks. Most accurate checker.
↦ 2. Open Site Explorer – Most commonly used statistics for judging website power or strength, however DA & PA metrics scale with spam so you really need to look at the actual backlinks too.
↦ 3. Majestic – Best for determining the website’s trust/strength.
↦ 4. MOZ SEO Toolbar – This cool toolbar will automatically run stats for you on all the websites you visit and put an overlay in search results if you want. This is the quickest way to check stats as you’re browsing around.
↦ 5. Moz Bulk Domain Checker for Google Docs – Want to check a bulk group of domains? With this easy tool, you can throw a bunch of domains into a Google doc and quickly get the Moz DA/PA for them.
