Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is very important to rank your posts on Google which increases consistent traffic, brand influence, and sales (if applicable).
SEO is basically the process of enhancing your post to increase the visibility of your post on Google. There are several ways to do this and it includes the use of the tools listed below which mainly helps by improving the value of your keywords.
Let’s get started:
#1 Free SEO Tools To Rank Your Posts On Google – Seed Keywords
There are several keyword finders, that generate suggestions for several keywords. The problem here is that a lot of people don’t research their seed keywords, they just use any keyword off their heads or use similar keywords that they see other people use, that’s why there is high competition between the majority of existing keywords.
Seed keywords help you research the right seed keywords to type in and these keywords are relevant because they are gotten from your ideal customers so that you will not only get low competition keywords, you will also get relevant keywords that your customers are actually typing.
So, for example, if you own a necklace store,
Go to seedkeywords and create a scenario
For best results, read through how to properly create a scenario and get your results.
So from the example given here, you can write “You fancy buying a necklace for your girlfriend, what type will you buy?”
You will then get this link that you can share with your customers, friends, and audience. You can then sit back, relax and receive suggestions that can be used as your keywords.
#2 Free SEO Tools To Rank Your Posts On Google – SERPerator
This is one amazing tool because one of the problems we face as content creators trying to rank on youtube is that keywords usually change based on location and the type of device your audience is using, so even if you get an amazing keyword based on the location of your target audience, if they change device type, they might see your content when using one device but totally miss it when using another.
This is the problem that SERPerator solves, they give you suggestions based on countries and devices, so if you are looking for people searching for “chocolate”, that are located in Alabama USA, and are using android devices, you can just filter these options out and get your suggested keywords.
#3 Free SEO Tools To Rank Your Posts On Google – Exploding Topics
One big reason why there is high competition between a majority of keywords is, people don’t research to get new keywords, they just keep using the old keywords over and over again.
Exploding topics solves this problem for you, they find new keywords with low competition and track its metrics because they mostly become highly sought after with time. So, imagine if you find a new keyword with low competition and write a post with it, by the time the keyword starts to rank, your post will take center stage and rank higher, driving more and more traffic and sales.
