8 Free and Simple SEO Tools
for Bootstrapped Business Owners
A working knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is useful for more than just search advertising and getting your site found for relevant keywords.
In fact, I'd argue that knowing the basics of SEO, and the tools to use, can help you become a more effective entrepreneur in general, from using search volume to evaluate the demand for a product idea or piece of content, to establishing the empathy you need for effective copywriting.
That's because search engines offer a window into our collective wants, questions, concerns, and curiosities.
Unfortunately, many of the best SEO tools on the market can run you about $100/month, which might not be ideal for a bootstrapped entrepreneur or someone who's still trying to wrap their head around SEO.
That's why we've put together this list of useful free SEO tools that you can use for anything from keyword research to backlink analysis.
