5 FREE SEO Tools to Analyze Your Website Like Google

Google is constantly making tons of tiny changes to their algorithm and it can be hard to keep up maintaining your website. Though there are plenty of tools to keep an eye on your SEO not all are free. For the aspiring entrepreneur, or the cheap boss, here are 5 completely free tools to help analyze your website like google does!

Although a lot of them provide reports and cover similar topics like website loading speed and mobile readiness I personally use multiple tools to review a website because sometimes all you need is a different pair of eyes.

1) Google Webmaster Tools

Cost: Free

When trying to make your website Google friendly what better place to start then the masters themselves. Google’s Webmaster Tools is newbie-friendly and clearly explain the fundamentals of Google search.

For example, Google’s Fetch as Google tool allows you look at a URL like you’re wearing Google glasses. Fetch is extremely helpful when troubleshooting for poor SEO performance.

Another great feature of Google Webmaster Tools is PageSpeed Insights which measures the speed of your website both on desktop and mobile. PageSpeed Score ranges from 0 to 100 points. A higher score is better. You want to aim for 85 and above.

2) Check My Links
