Semrush

Semrush has been amazing for my blog because of how versatile it is. When you look up Semrush, you immediately access what’s called the SEO dashboard. This covers your domain, backlinks, site analytics, keywords, and more. The goal of the site is to monitor how your domain compares to others, how those competitors utilize SEO, and where your site may be slacking. 

You can start for free, copy and pasting your domain into the website. From there, you can access all your analytics then compare it to how other sites are doing. You can even create a full site audit of all your pages and posts to see where you need more SEO! Semrush will then give you advice and resources for updating your site to improve traffic and SEO. 

Semrush also has tons of resources for marketing, including advertising and social media.

CanIRank

This site describes itself as “the first SEO software using AI to give you specific action recommendations rather than just data.” Besides auditing your site to see where and what needs the most SEO improvements, CanIRank also generates content ideas to keep your growth going long-term. 

CanIRank uses AI to outline the most valuable keywords for your site and help you make the most of them to improve your site authority. This site also provides SEO consultation!

Free Keyword Research Tool

If you already know what keywords you need, Free Keyword Research Tool can help you by calculating how many have searched those words online and how much competition those words have. For example, if you want to write a post called “The Top Ten Beaches to Visit in the US,” you can type in “beaches in the US.” This tool then shows how much people have recently searched for this information, or volume, and then describes how much competition you’d have if you wrote a post. The higher the competition, the more difficult it will be to gain a higher rank authority when people search. 

Thankfully, there are plenty of keywords with low competition, making it easy for your site to rank higher. This tool can also help you generate content ideas for future posts!

  1. That’s quite interesting. I’ve saved this paged and noted the tools. I have not paid much attention to SEO but this might be a place to start.

  2. Well I guess I should also say thank you. So thank you Pooja for posting this.

    1. Thanks for reading! I’m glad you enjoyed and paged it.

    2. Happy to share it, hope it helps you.

  3. I have never paid any attention to SEO, Pooja, maybe this is why I have only a couple hundred followers? 🤭

    1. As long as you enjoy blogging that’s all that matters!

      1. Right!

  4. Great post, Pooja! SEO is an area I know almost nothing about it. You explain things in a way that helps people understand them. Thank you.

    1. It was written by E. S. Foster but she did a great job with it 😊

    2. Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

  7. Thanks, Pooja. This is something I want to learn more about. I keep feeling I need to get my blog a little more ‘together’.

    1. I feel the same way! It’s definitely been a steep learning curve, especially with SEO.

      1. It seems that way!

  13. Great share!!

    I do use certain tools!!

    My favourite is rank math seo.

    I don’t want to pay for semrush, so I don’t unse it

    1. I’ll have to check rank math out! Thanks.

      1. I’ll check out your work

        Great share

        There’s so much can be learned about SEO

    1. I hope they work well for you!

  15. Great tips in this article, Pooja. Thanks for introducing us to ES Foster as well. 👏🙏

    1. It was amazing to be able to guest post here!

      1. 👏🙏🙏

  16. Thanks PG, your post gave me an idea. 😁 I’m installing MonsterInsights on Snarebox.com and linking it to Google Analytics, then building a program to use ChatGPT to analyze my site data and provide recommendations similar to what you wrote for CanIRank! It doesn’t look too difficult (of course GPT is already built for me, that part would be very hard haha).

    1. Well, like all my projects I already hit a roadblock and I can’t figure out how to actually access the plugin after I installed it. It just takes me to the overview page from the plugin store and the only link I see is to deactivate it. 😆

      1. You got this 💪🏽 Maybe that means the plugin is already active?

        1. I had to go to my actual wp-admin page instead of the admin panel on wordpress.com! Good to know. I’ve gotten Google Analytics up and running for a couple days now and I actually have a lot more visitors to my site than my blog here. 😅

          1. Ooh I see, that’s awesome. I love Google Analytics!

    2. Best of luck with your project!

      1. Oops I missed the part that said you were the writer! I’ll follow your blog as well.

    3. Ooh cool, hope it works out!

  17. Very informative, Pooja, and something I need to learn more about.

    1. Thanks for reading!

      1. My pleasure!

  18. Thank you for passing on these resources, Pooja. I need to look into this!

    1. Thank you so much for reading!

  19. I just don’t seem to find the time (or inclination) to deal with SEO. I know I should. Perhaps you could hop on a plane and pop across to help me put things right??

    1. I definitely find SEO to still be a challenge. It gets better the more you learn, and eventually it becomes less overwhelming!

  20. Definitely a very helpful post! 2 of these are new to me. Looking them up ASAP

    1. Awesome! Thanks for reading

  21. Thank you Pooja, this is my greatest weakness in blogging, and your info is extremely helpful. Hugs, C

  33. A very informative article. Pooja.
    I haven’t paid much attention to SEO and the other tools.
    Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
    I took a few days off I’m almost caught up now. Bye now.

    1. Thank you, so glad it was informative. Nice to see you back, hope you had a good break.

      1. You’re welcome and thank you, yes I did. Stay safe and blessed.

        1. Stay safe and blessed too.

  34. Thanks for sharing. As soon as i made up my mind to start blogging, i learned a few things about SEO, and with the help of some top OG’s, it has been a game changer 🙌. Pooja G, I have a question, if you don’t mind me asking.

    After the recent March Google update, my site stopped ranking for new keywords. I’ve been using SEMrush to analyze my site periodically to see if there would be any changes in keyword growth, but nothing new was observed. However, when I analyzed my site with Ahrefs, I noticed that a few keywords were up and running, and I found them on the SERP. Do you think SEMrush only analyzes large volumes of keywords or traffic?

    1. Personally, I don’t find SEMrush so reliable. I would recommend using Google Analytics instead. It’s much more accurate.

    1. My pleasure.

    1. Thanks for reading.

  35. Thanks! SEO is such a vast area in blogging, so these tools look pretty helpful to manage it with ease

    1. Glad the post was helpful, thank you!

  36. Nice information on SEO tools.

    1. Glad you found it helpful.

    1. Thanks so much.

  37. Great overview of free SEO tools for bloggers! At TheSoftReview, we also explore SaaS platforms like Semrush and CanIRank and how they boost site performance efficiently.

    1. Thanks and that’s great!
