Recommendations on SEO Tools, Strategies and References

3 replies
I have been doing SEO/SEM work on some sites I own for a few years but now I am in a position where I need to handle these tasks for a significant numbers of clients on a freelance basis. Obviously, this requires much more work and organization as well as some additional tools to help.

I was wondering if the experts on here could help me with the following:

1. Does anyone know of any online step-by-step guides or checklists that highlight a comprehensive SEO and digital marketing strategy? This could be helpful while trying to juggle multiple projects at once and provide a blueprint that I can follow and alter as I go.

2. What free project management tools do you recommend? I was thinking of using Wunderlist, Trello or Evernote to keep track of projects, but there may be other suggestions I am not aware of.

3. I have it in my budget to spend about $200/month worth of paid tools. Which tools are best for keyword research, backlink analysis, search rankings etc.? I am currently testing out Moz and SEM Rush, but would like a wide variety of information that helps me efficiently execute a plan but without too much white noise. What are the best paid (or free) tools to accomplish this?

4. What are the best references for Q&As and reference materials on strategies, etc. for when I need to deep dive and do some learning on the fly? Besides this website of course.

Thanks for any help!!

    Great questions. Um, I'm currently testing the following at present and am quite intrigued with the results I'm getting:

    * Web Detective - can do a broad range of stuff including analysing your website, pinging, etc.has a broad range of analytical tools all in one place and is web based.
    * Question Spy - is excellent for keyword research, type in a keyword and you'll get results on a broad range of keywords that people are searching for.
    * PR Dominator - I'm testing at present and am intrigued with the results to date. Write an article and submit in their system - can write articles or press releases. All articles written to date have appeared on P1 of Google some in the top spot, others on average in the top 3 spots. Have had more success with some articles than others. Even had one article appear in Google News and top spot for the keyword in the search engine.

    Good luck with your endeavours. Hope this assists.
