One of the best things to have happened in the IT world is the birth of the Internet wherein one can find any type of information. However, the same information is being presented by a number of providers in different ways. Some may present it very interestingly while others may provide it as plain text, and some may present useful information while others may also present useless information. So, how can one ensure that the users find the good and useful information and not the useless one? That precisely is where Search Engine Optimization(SEO) comes in. SEO helps the developers of a website to rank their content in the top ranking websites in a Google search. To do so, the developers follow various methods and use different tools to meet this objective. The following are some tools along with their purposes that help websites to rank in Google searches:
- Google Tools
- SEMrush
- Screaming Frog
- DeepCrawl
- Ahrefs
