10 Best Premium SEO Tools to Boost Your Traffic in 2020

Why should you bother about Premium SEO tools?

Isn't it insane; that every time Google comes up with an update in its Search Engine Algorithm and you have to put time and effort to modify the website accordingly. It’s a very complex task for anyone to optimize the site in such a short span of time and on top of that, doing it manually.

Also, you might be having the worst nightmare when you are handling hundreds or thousands of web pages without any assistance. Even if you are on the verge of optimizing a newly built website; in terms of SEO, it can be a boon when someone’s assistance delivers all the insights about competitive industry, recent trends, growth opportunities, etc. Here the ‘someone’ is an SEO tool.

Apart from the above-mentioned points, the biggest factor that can drive you to use an SEO tool is 'time'. This may sound a bit cliche but “Time is money”.

To win the race against time, the SEO tool is the nitro-boost you need..

Free SEO Tools: A Delusion

Before exploring SEO tools, here's one more phrase that may sound cliche: “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”.

The clear interpretation is that you won’t get access to all the features in the free version of the tool.

Even if you are trying with one such free tool, there is no guarantee about it solving your SEO related queries. You have to find a perfect match based on your SEO goals and for that, you need full access to the tool.

The Solution

The dilemma is whether we will get desired returns after spending on the SEO tool or not.

It’s quite natural and real to have such concern over it. There are certain handy solutions as well. The easiest one is to go for a TRIAL version. You can subscribe for a free trial of the tool as mostly all the tools provide this feature.

To say, I have a question. Wouldn't trying 50+ SEO tools to find the best that serves your agenda hinder your routine work and be nerve-wracking?

Makes sense, right?

 

Alternatively, you can take the help of review tutorials from SEO influencers or take-up a digital marketing course that provides training to clearly understand the benefits of the tools for the specific nature of the business.

Even for going after tutorials or subscribing to courses, you need money!

It’s like, for paying installments of car loan, you are taking another loan.

To solve this complexity, here are the 10 handpicked premium tools that can power up your SEO strategy. Also, here I have listed the tools based upon nature and needs that they best fit for, to speed up the process of selection.

2. Ahrefs | Backlink Analysis

Off-page SEO is a term that you won’t take seriously until and unless your on-page optimizations have stopped after generating enough growth. When you are thinking overall SEO strategy, there is a need to give equal importance to the ‘Off-Page Strategies’ as well.

When I talk about off-page SEO, backlinks are the most important traffic source for enhancing domain authority (DA) and sending positive signals to the crawler. There are prominent SEO tools that you can use to perform off-page SEO but above all the available SEO tools, one that I recommend is, Ahrefs. It has a set of features that work complementary to each other for boosting traffic. It can be the most ideal tool for exploring new backlink opportunities.

Some of the most important features include:

  • Content Explorer: With content explorer, you can find out recent trending content with metrics (organic traffic, traffic value, social shares, etc.) about a particular topic. This data may help you to write your next LinkedIn article, answer to Quora’s question and deciding on which platform for posting.

Working of the feature?

You just have to enter the topic in the ‘textbox’ and it delivers infinite results of related online articles with just one click as shown below in the image.

So, compared to the keyword planner or any other tool, you don’t have to go through the tool and check the dashboard for all the data.

Here’s the catch, to get keyword search volume and CPC (Cost per click) data along with keywords data they’ve just started a paid subscription.

Pricing

The pricing is based on considering keywords limit as credit where 1 credit = 1 keyword

  • 100,000 credits = $10
  • 500,000 credits = $50
  • 1 million credits = $100
  • 2 million credits = $200
  • 5 million credits = $500

4. SEOmonitor | Rank Tracking
