8 Free Technical SEO Tools

free-stuff-2

It’s Tools Week here on State of Search and as such we’re celebrating all those great, informative and handy tools that help make the technical and analytical aspects of our roles that little bit smoother and quicker. Whilst we have a number of posts planned on the bigger premium tool suites; plus a tonne on the link tools I thought it might be handy to collate a list of disparate free technical SEO tools that help us solve problems and answer questions. I recently posted here about handy Chrome Extensions for SEO, so in this post I thought I’d focus more on web (plus a little software.) (more…)

6 Great Project Management Tools for Improving Agency Efficiency

Project-Management-tools

This post is part of the State of Search Tools Week in which we will be taking an extensive look at Tools in SEO, with posts, demo’s and more.

Background

Over the last two years we’ve tried and tested a stupid amount of different project management tools, both for the design / development side of the business and for our online marketing team. We’ve found that because of the differences in the way that the two departments work (sprints, phased projects and support work vs retainers and consultancy), it’s very difficult to find one tool that fits all. We’ve also found that more technical members of the team respond better to different options. So, having learnt a lot about the features that have helped us to improve our efficiency, I thought I’d write a blog post with my findings.

I’m sure some people will think that trying these tools was a waste of time, however we’ve found that using more advanced tools (that are highly customisable) to improve our processes has helped us to significantly improve our efficiency and output (which ultimately saves us money). (more…)

What is the State of the Tools? Tell us!

State-of-Tools-header

Next week Tools Week starts on State of Search. We will be looking at all sorts of different aspects of tools and we will be looking at specific tools as well.

But we’d also like to know how you think about tools. And to do that we created a survey which will help us understand the “State of the Tools” in SEO. By answering the questions in the survey we will be able to get a nice overview of what the state is, how are ‘we’ using tools and what we want in tools.

Answer this survey (will take you probably about 15 minutes) and we will write you a great overview of what the State of Tools looks like!

Answer the survey below. And spread the word! (more…)
