Surely you have seen a large number of lists on different websites where the tools that are recommended for SEO are always the same, but ordered in a different way.
In fact, you only need to go around Google by searching for the “SEO Tools” type to verify that there are many people telling you what to use.
I have tried to go a little further and I have proposed to create the most extensive list of which there is evidence in the Spanish language. Thus, you will have a good compendium of all those web positioning tools that may be useful to you at any given time.
SEO Tools List
Index:
- Tools for Link Building
- Technical SEO Tools
- Tools for Keyword Research
- Tools to track rankings
- Tools to optimize content
- Backlink analysis tools
As you will see, I have differentiated the tools according to the service they perform and the specific section in which they can help you, and, in addition, I have added a small information point at the beginning of each one of them so that you know if it is paid or free.
Finally, it should be noted that many of these SEO tools work very well in English, but may tend to fail slightly in Spanish. That is why I recommend that you… Learn English! Or try them before deciding.
The first thing I want to show you is a great tool that Sergio Ramírez has created, which can help you make one of the things that most often cause us problems when we start in the world of Digital Marketing, a Marketing budget.

Paid
Another web auditing tool . It is a little expensive. For $ 10 you can have 100 scans of different pages. However, the information it provides is quite useful. However, I do not consider it the best tool for this work.

One of the most interesting tools to carry out SEO audits. It is a tool that really does the audit in depth , and does not stay only on the surface.

Google Correlate
Free
This tool, provided by Google, is quite underrated in the SEO world, and it shouldn’t be that way, as it is quite good. Basically, the tool shows you correlations .
For example, if you enter the keyword “dukan diet”, it will inform you that people who search for that keyword also search for “dukan diet recipes”.
Google Keyword Planner
Free
The basic tool and from where any keyword analysis should start. In addition, this tool allows you to know if the keyword in question is going to bring you benefits because the person doing the search is interested in buying something (for this, you only have to check the columns of “Competition” and “Suggested bid”) .
Google Trends
Free
I recommend that before launching any keyword that you think is good, check if it really is in Google Trends . After all, you don’t want to optimize your website for a keyword that is on its way to dying because it is getting less and less popular.
That is what Google Trends does, inform you of the trend that a keyword has, so you know if, by betting on it, you will go up or down.

Keyword Snatcher
Payment
This tool is one of the ones that can give you the most ideas. Probably the most. It does this thanks to its scraping of different websites where people usually search.
Or in vain, if you search for a keyword like “paleo diet”, you can get up to 15,000 additional keywords . It is no small thing. The problem is, it doesn’t show you how many people are searching for each keyword, so you’ll have to manually upload the list to Google Planner to extract that information.

Free with paid version
An exceptional tool that scrapes the Google Autocomplete in the best possible way. Without fear of being wrong, we can affirm that it is the best tool doing that job.

However, its competition analysis deserves special attention, with which you can get an idea of how difficult it will be to position that specific keyword in Google, based on several factors.
SERPStat
Free with paid version
A very interesting tool to do some Brainstorming . It will not show you the monthly searches for each keyword you get, but it will allow you to extract an impressive list that you can later check in the Google Planner.

Payment
TermExplorer is a solid and highly effective tool. It will throw you a huge number of interesting keywords. The problem is that it is paid, and there are some others that are also very good, once you are willing to pay for one of these tools.
UberSuggest
Free
The first tool to scrape Google suggestions . It still works fine, although it is a bit awkward, in my opinion, when it comes to displaying the larger long tails.
Wordstream’s Free Keyword Tools
Free
The tool was originally intended for AdWords, but like most tools created for AdWords, it is also very useful for SEO . I recommend that you use the “Keyword Niche Finder” option, as it returns a good number of keywords that are difficult to find using other programs.
WordTracker
Payment
This tool has its own internal keyword index. Why might this interest you? Basically, because, through this tool, you can get keywords that Google simply does not want to teach you.
In addition, WordTracker shows you the existing competition on the first page of Google for the keyword in question, and has a very interesting option to obtain long-tail information related to a main keyword.

Without a doubt, the most powerful tool in this market . None comes close, but not even close. In addition, it has a large number of functionalities and is updated daily, so you will never go wrong with it.
If you want a quality tool to analyze links, use Ahrefs, even if it is expensive. It is true that it has a small free version, but if you want to get all the juice and enjoy it well, you have to go to the checkout.

Payment
A good inbound link analysis tool, which also has some options to find possibilities to create new links (although it focuses on the former, fundamentally).
Like so many other similar tools, Link Research Tools has a very simple option to identify dangerous links.
Majestic SEO
Free with paid version
One of the best options when it comes to backlink analysis . If Ahrefs did not exist, you would have to use this other option, as it is probably the second best on the market.
In addition, it provides important metrics, such as TrustFlow or CitationFlow . It also has the option “Clique Hunter”, which shows you websites that usually link to your competitors, but not to you. That way, you can find link building opportunities.

A fairly powerful tool when it comes to backlink analysis and reverse engineering when analyzing the competition.
It is not as powerful and massive a tool as Ahrefs or MajesticSEO , but it does have some interesting functionalities. For starters, its free version is the best option for backlink analysis, which is already a point in its favor.
Of course, the payment tool has several additional features that make it a good option. The “Hub Finder” option is similar to Majestic SEO’s “Clique Hunter” functionality.
Open Site Explorer
Free with paid version
One of the best known tools for analyzing links, but only because it is from Moz. In my opinion, there are many other better tools than this, and if we compare it with Ahrefs, we don’t even talk.

A good suite of tools for SEO , such as keyword analysis, website audit , etc. However, the most notable tool in the suite is the backlink analysis tool.

WebMeUp Backlinks Tool
Free with paid version
A tool that stands out for having a link index of almost a billion . However, despite that, it does not manage to compete with the big players in the sector, and, in our opinion, it is missing some additional functionalities.
As you can see, I have dedicated myself to creating not the best list of SEO tools that currently exist in Spanish, but possibly one of the most extensive.
I do not think it is necessary to try them all, but, of course, it is convenient to know that they exist, in case one begins to give you problems, to know the alternative.
In the end if you work on this SEO you will focus on 4 or 5 in your day to day, and some more for special cases, such as penalties or migrations, but there each one will have their favorites.
I hope this compilation of seo tools has been useful for you and, if you think that this content can help someone you know, please share it on social networks … The truth is that it has your job to compile a list like this! !
