Key Tools for SEO Analysis and Optimization
Google Analytics & Google Search Console. Google Analytics helps analyze user behavior, traffic sources, and conversion data. Google Search Console provides direct insights into search queries, indexing status, and potential issues like crawl errors or security problems. Together, they give a comprehensive view of your website’s performance in search engines and with users.
GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed Insights, & Lighthouse. Page speed is crucial for both user experience and SEO rankings. These tools assess your website’s speed, performance, and mobile responsiveness. They identify elements slowing down your site—like large images or unoptimized code—and guide enhancements to improve loading times.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider & Netpeak Spider. These crawlers perform a deep audit of your website’s on-page SEO. They detect critical issues like broken links, duplicate content, missing metadata, and poor HTML structure. Fixing these ensures your site is optimized for search engines, improving rankings and user experience.
SEMrush & Ahrefs. For competitor analysis, keyword research, and backlink tracking, SEMrush and Ahrefs are indispensable. They offer insights into competitors’ rankings, help target high-value keywords, and improve your site’s domain authority through backlink analysis.
Manual Site Analysis. In addition to automated tools, we perform manual evaluations to assess site usability, navigation, and content relevance. This human perspective complements the data from our tools, giving us a complete understanding of your site’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Custom SEO Strategy
Based on the data we collect from these tools and an understanding of your budget and business goals, we create a technical plan and SEO strategy for a specific sprint (3-6 months), focusing on the most critical issues first, such as fixing technical errors or improving on-page optimization. We check competitors, research who is leading in Google organic search, and implement effective solutions. We also apply proven functionality and solutions from our other projects.
These tools and strategies allow us to conduct thorough analyses, generate actionable insights, and provide comprehensive reports that track your progress and demonstrate results.
