15 Best SEO Tools to Rank #1 on Google in 2023

if you want an unlimited amount of
traffic look no further than SEO I want
to give you my 15 favorite SEO tools to
use in 2023 first on my list is hrefs so
this is one of my favorite tools because
it covers almost everything you need so
you can do extensive keyword research to
find any term you want to rank for
especially those monetizable ones with
low competition
publish some content on your site you
can track your rankings on Google and
use that data to optimize your content
over time then you can use ahrefs to
audit your site and get ideas about how
to improve your rankings based on real
data you can even look at competitors
websites all the links they're getting
their data their backlink profile and
use that info to build your backlink
strategy for your content number two on
my list is a KW finder so this keyword
research tool stands out for a couple
reasons you can get a plan for just
under fifty dollars a month and it's
really nice looking so it not only helps
you find profitable keywords you can
rank for but it also allows you to track
your website's rankings and gives you
daily updates about where your pages are
ranking on Google now while it's not as
robust as the data you get with ahrefs
there's still a lot of similar tools
that it has that ahrefs offers and one
of my favorite things about this is the
design and user experience everything is
laid out really well the interface is
really intuitive lots of SEO tools are
known to be like clunky and hard to
navigate but this is one of the most
well-designed tools I've come across now
the third tool we like isn't a
traditional SEO tool but it's worth
mentioning because it is super powerful
and that is Jasper AI it's an artificial
intelligence software that helps you
create content so much faster than you
could by yourself so when you're writing
content and trying to rank you know the
more quality content you put out the
higher output the better now one way to
use this tool is to create a baseline
content which is basically the bare
minimum of an article you need for your
site to get it published and indexed by
Google and once it's indexed you can go
back to the content and Pad it out with
more specific ideas examples table of
contents images headers all that to
improve your on-page SEO the fourth tool
is SE ranking and there are also this
video's sponsor so they are a tool that
can help facilitate and streamline all
of your work as an SEO or digital
marketer and they are one of the best
tools packed with over 30 tools
including AI powered ones SC ranking
offers a smooth and intuitive interface
vast databases it provides multiple
customization options and I can always
get help from their support when I need
it so I personally manage my websites
and their performance in Google search
with the help of ahrefs and SE ranking
together it gives me all the tools I
need to make sure digital assets are
optimized for both search engines and
people plus I can keep tabs on my
competitors to make sure my own
campaigns aren't falling behind so
within seconds I can understand how well
my sites are performing in Search and if
I see something of Interest I can easily
move in for a closer inspection an SE
ranking helps me answer questions like
how high are my pages ranking for my
target keywords are there any technical
issues holding my site back from top
rankings are all of my backlinks still
in place and working properly and the
best part is that you get helpful and
actionable tips along the way so you
won't end up being stuck not knowing
what to do so think of SC ranking as a
set of SEO tools that does the heavy
lifting for you leaving you with more
time and energy to focus on what you do
best I actually barely just scratched
the surface of SC rankings capabilities

Surfer SEO is number five on the list
and it's all about supercharging your
content in a practical way using AI so
you can plug in your target keyword into
Surfer and it'll give you an outline to
serve as a starting point when you're
writing content it's perfect for on-page
SEO and from there it'll also give you
topic clusters that are relevant to the
type of content you're creating and once
you've created some content you can
upload it to Surfer for an audit and
that audit will tell you you immediately
what you can do to improve your content
to rank higher as well as like internal
links that you can create on your site
to create a better foundation for
ranking on Google Now number six on my
list is rank math so rank math is a
WordPress plugin that helps you cover
all your bases for on-page SEO now it's
hard to remember all of the on-page SEO
factors like your title tag body copy
headers subheaders meta description and
everything else so rank math will help
you analyze every page and post that you
have and it gives you prompts to add the
SEO information that's missing and then
it scores every page to let you know if
you've checked all the SEO boxes and by
doing this you're making it easier for
your content to outrank your competitors
the seventh SEO tool you need to use is
free and that is Google Trends so it's a
great way to help you get insights into
upcoming keywords that can be very
profitable in the future so for example
three years ago no one really was
searching for the term like massage gun
but it started to gain some Traction in
September 2019 then there was a huge
Peak towards the holiday season and the
next year it was even bigger and in 2021
it looked even bigger in 2022 same thing
so oftentimes Google Trends give you
Clues as to what's about to be popular
and if you can catch a keyword that
isn't too competitive yet and is up and
coming that's where you can get your
rankings so you can be one of the first
people to make content around it and
rank for years to come and then monetize
those keywords with affiliate links down
the line the number eight on the list is
Google analytics so if you take a look
at your data you can get a pretty good
idea of where your efforts should be
focused so for example you can look at
Google analytics and you can see which
pages on your site get the most traffic
and which ones get the most time on page
you can see your bounce rate and all of
that data and if you're noticing you're
getting some traffic to certain topics
or some ideas over others it's a good
sign that you should focus more of your
SEO efforts on those specific sub niches
and those kind of keywords for example
when I started writing articles on my
blog you know I didn't know what was
going to get the most traffic I was
writing all kinds of stuff but in late
2019 I started ranking for the word
podcast hosting and that started me to
focus more of my efforts on updating
that article creating similar content
and all of that and now over the last
you know three years it's ranked in the
top three positions on Google and it
makes me about thirteen thousand dollars
every single month so the ninth tool on
this list is Google search console so
you need this one and this tool lets you
see what people are doing when they land
on your website and it's based on
Behavior you can make adjustments to
improve your ranking so for example if
you're ranking on the first page of
Google for a keyword your click-through
rate is going to increase the closer you
are to the first position so right now
the average click-through rate is around
27 percent for number one according to
backlinko and the first position is
likely to get 10 times the amount of
clicks as the 10th spot so to improve
your SEO take a look at the pages of
yours that are ranking in the top ten
and then adjust your titles and meta
descriptions to something that
encourages a click and Google search
console is 100 needed it is where you
actually submit your site map to Google
to tell them you exist and you can view
your sitemap your robot.txt all the
technical stuff on the back end of
ranking on Google Now number 10 on the
list is a website called exploding
topics so it's basically an aggregation
of the top trending topics and it's way
easier to use than Google Trends so I
like it because you can search for any
topic or product you're interested in
and then you learn what's going on with
similar Trends so you can look back like
three months six months a year and
different things like software marketing
different categories so exploding topics
is a great tool for finding emerging
topics that can be monetized with the
right content strategy and it's kind of
like Google Trends but it's easy to use
so number 11 on the list is ubersuggest
so this is the SEO tool that Neil Patel
created it's similar to ahrefs but much
more affordable so you get a lot of
great features like site audits keyword
research options as well as keyword
suggestions you can also use it to come
up with content ideas and it'll show you
what's ranking or working for other
sites so you can make something better
and try to outrank them so overall it's
not the best SEO tool ahrefs is a lot
stronger but it's cheaper so number 12
on the list is spyfu which is a full-on
SEO Suite that allows for detailed
keyword research in mostly competitor
analysis it's mainly known for PPC but
can you can use it for SEO as well it
also lets you spy on all the backlinks
your competitors have so you can try to
replicate their strategies so similar to
ahrefs and qw finder you can track your
website's SEO performance and then use
data to make calculative decisions about
what to update and how to improve your
content now the 13th tool we like here
is screaming frogs SEO spider this tool
is slightly different than other
content-focused SEO tools we've listed
so far so SEO spider is all about
improving your technical SEO so it'll
help you detect and update Broken links
improve your site's URL and internal
linking structure help you find
duplicate content you can even schedule
audits to make sure sure nothing gets
broken 14th tool on this list is
grammarly now while this tool isn't
necessarily an SEO tool it is very
important for SEO because clear coherent
writing will always be important so
grammarly helps catch mistakes and
improve your messaging to be more
succinct so when people are searching
the internet for answers to their
questions or looking for products you
need to communicate clearly and quickly
because you want them to land on your
website and stick around for a while and
actually read what you're writing and
maybe take an action grammarly can help
with that so it has a built-in
plagiarism Checker which is important
because Google has been known to
penalize sites if it's ripping off
someone else's work plus plagiarism is
just gross please don't do it Gator
don't play no so grammarly is a
great tool for spelling punctuation and
just improving your writing overall the
15th tool on this list is copy AI so
this piece of software is great when you
have a bunch of ideas and you need to
get them finished as soon as possible so
with this tool you can quickly make
outlines and even rough drafts of your
article ideas then you can go back to
those drafts and make them unique with
your own edits and customize them for
the keywords you want to rank for so if
