Posts About ‘Tools Week’

What Tools were We Using (And what are we?)

People tend to make choices based on their surroundings. And many business decisions are made based on what the competition does. So people look at what others are using for tools as well. In 2011 Searchenginejournal did a ”SEO Software Survey” in which they looked at what others are using. You can see the results in the infographic below.

However, we want to know what you are using now! Help us find out by filling in this survey and help us get a great overview of the State of the Tools! (more…)

tool-time-1

As an SEO, I use a wide range of tools to help me with my job.  There are loads of tools out there and being honest, I often forget about some of the ones I have available to me.  Today I wanted to show you the contents of my bookmarks when it comes to technical SEO.   I’ll talk about the tool itself and highlight some SEO tasks that it can help with.

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…)
