15 Reasons Why SEO Tools are More Tempting Than Pizza

15 Reasons Why SEO Tools are More Tempting Than Pizza

What SEO tools get you ranked at the top of Google?

That’s a question that encompasses an enormous amount of answers.  No matter what your position it all starts with unlocking the secrets of finding the right keywords to target.

But how?

7 Tools to Empower Your Keyword Research

There are plenty of answers to that, including using Google’s auto suggest feature.  7 of the most popular keyword research tools that people are found regularly using include:

  1. WordTracker
  2. UberSuggest
  3. Long Tail Pro
  4. Answer the Public
  5. HitTail
  6. Tag Crowd
  7. Seed Keywords

If your just getting started on your SEO campaign, then I recommend taking a long tail keyword phrase approach.

Here’s how that works.

Let’s say your targeted keyword phrase is: Pizza (Okay, now I’m hungry).

The exact match approach would be to create content around the word “pizza”.  The problem is that if you are just getting started your chances of competing for that word are nil to none.

That’s why you need to use long tails which would be something like:

Best Deluxe Raw Pizza Recipe (Hey, I’m a vegan, what do you expect?)

The chances of my being able to rank for the above keyword verse just pizza is much higher.  It gets better too.

People that search on the keyword identified above are more likely to be very interested in what I have too share.  That’s the stuff that conversions are made from.  The above tools do far more than uncover long tails including identifying phrases you haven’t thought of, showing you traffic potential and helping you to build a solid SEO plan forward.

Competing with Your Selected Keyword Phrase Competition

No matter what keywords you target you will have competition.  Those are the evil one’s that have more than half a thought to outrank you.

How dare they!

Fortunately, you have powerful tools at your ready to deal with these villains.

Here are 9 top secret spy tools to use against your competition:

  1. Monitor Backlinks
  2. SERanking
  3. SpyFu
  4. Open Site Explorer
  5. iSpionage
  6. Simply Measured
  7. Compete PRO
  8. Quant Cast
  9. SpyOnWeb

Once you have determined the keywords you want to target and fully understand what you’re up against its time for a nap, I mean implementation.

Creating Your SEO Content Marketing Strategy Win

That’s where words come in, not to mention meme’s, infographics, videos, live streaming, podcasts and a host of other content creation resources.

What you don’t want to do at this point is worry about topics like properly formatted meta data, keyword density or placement, and anything else that is designed to push Google into favoring your site in its organic rankings.

Yes, that worked a couple of years back, but not today.

Instead, you want to laser target on real honest to goodness quality content that your readers will love devouring.  (I guess I never got my pizza.)

Anyway, the way to do that with words alone would be to create larger pieces of content.  1000 words is good, 1500 words is great and Google goes bananas (food again, I’ve got to stop that) over articles that exceed 2K.

Include images, videos and other types of content within the projects you release and in Google’s eyes you become their golden opportunity.

But wait, you say.  Why did I do all that keyword research stuff if Google only wants solid gold content?

Great question.

Google does not forbid you from using such keyword phrases.  Just don’t go overboard.  In a 1000-word article, I will use the keyword phrase in my title and one maybe two other times in the content.

Beyond Simple Content Creation Simply

Once you have your article positioned it’s time to promote it.  No, the street corner with sign idea won’t work out.  But here are 5 backlink building tools that will.

  1. SEMrush
  2. Majestic
  3. Ahrefs
  4. Raven Tools
  5. SEOquake

However, before you rush out to start link building.

Stop!

Are you aware that one of the best places to start building links from is your own Website or blog?

Those are internal backlinks and they work like gold.

Besides, who better to know your slant on your content for the niche which you have targeted than you?

Therefore, you want to make sure to do your due diligence within your site before finding places to build links from that are external to your properties.

Concluding Thoughts About Empowerment by SEO Tools

We’ve covered a lot of ground in this article and I hope you’ve gleaned some invaluable insight.

However, like the Titanic we’ve only touched the tip of the ice-berg.  Fortunately for you, this can mean nothing but net as you soar beyond your competitors.

Yet, I have a question.

What have I left out which you love?

    Hello there!

    I wanted to say thanks so much for all the great tips and for making it so clear and easy (and fun) to read. I had already known about using long tail keywords but what I didn’t know was how important it is to use over 15k words in posts and pages.

    I would like to hear more about internal backlinks though. How do you promote your website on your website. Can you explain more?

      BTW – the above link does happen to be an internal backlink. 🙂

    Sam

    “My website had no hits, now its booming, We started getting lots of calls, Excellent Job, Thank You !!!"
    Alex

    “Guy is one of the most passionate SEO professionals out there. SEO isn't just his job, it's his vocation. He also focuses on the most current form of SEO in my opinion and that is Local SEO. I threw a very tough project at Guy with a very short timeline to rank. Given the circumstances, Guy did everything possible to rank the project in the shortest time possible. His word is worth its weight in gold. In the SEO industry which can be very shady, this is incredibly important. Especially when not dealing face to face with an individual. Guy is extremely available and very personable. His ability to adapt his vast knowledge of Local SEO to develop a strategy particular to my project puts him over the top.”
    Nathan

    “I went searching for an SEO person. I did not want to be thrown in a template or into a company that mass-produces their SEO work. I wanted an independent professional that would work with me personally. I got that in Guy. He followed up his initial email with a personal professional phone call. He laid out a smart strategic game plan and quickly gave my website a strong foundation coordinating my google accounts, video, keywords, and blog. My website foundation is rock solid. I would highly recommend Guy as a powerful resource for your SEO work.”
    Ed

    “When I started working with Guy, I had a Google Maps listing that was languishing. I really wanted to get my listing to show up on page 1 in Google Maps. That’s when I had the good fortune of coming across Guy — not only is he responsive, communicative, and involved, but he knows what he’s doing. Within a month or so, Guy had conjured up his online magic tricks and got us into position 3 on Google Maps, landing us squarely on page 1. I’m just thrilled with the results that Guy was able to achieve — and let’s be honest, we hire folks like Guy to get us results. And Guy delivers. Can’t recommend him enough.”
    Dr. Carl
