I am from Germany. I use Semrush, Sistrix, Ryte, Screaming Frog and of course Search Console and Google Analytics (rarely). Sometimes also Ahrefs. Also Octoparse sometimes and RankTank. SEMrush: Benefits: Offers a comprehensive suite of tools for keyword research, competitive analysis, and site audits. Good for tracking rankings and backlink analysis. Disadvantages: Can be expensive for small businesses. May lack some aspects of website visibility compared to Sistrix. Sistrix: Pros: Known for its visibility index, great for monitoring SEO performance. User-friendly interface. Disadvantages: More focused on European markets, limiting effectiveness elsewhere. May offer limited keyword suggestions. Ryte: Pros: Provides detailed site audits and helps identify technical SEO issues. Good integration with Google tools (including Search Console). Disadvantages: Platform can be complex for new users. Relatively expensive. Screaming Frog: Pros: Excellent for crawling websites to identify technical SEO issues. Very detailed data with API integrations. Disadvantages: Interface is not very intuitive. Free version has limitations. Desktop application that can be resource-intensive. Google Search Console: Pros: Free tool provided by Google. Offers insights into site performance in Google searches, indexing status, and issues. Disadvantages: Data is limited to Google's search engine. Focused on what Google deems important for a better web. Google Analytics: Pros: Free and powerful tool for tracking website traffic, user behavior, and conversion metrics. Disadvantages: Can be overwhelming due to the sheer volume of data and reports. Raises user privacy concerns. Ahrefs: Pros: Excellent for backlink analysis and competitive research. Good keyword research tools. Disadvantages: Expensive for small businesses. Octoparse: Advantages: Useful for extracting large amounts of data from websites (web scraping). User-friendly interface. Disadvantages: Ethical and legal issues associated with web scraping. Learning curve for setting up complex scrapes. RankTank: Advantages: Useful for tracking keyword rank. Includes tools like Live Rank, Live Snippet, and crawling 1000 keywords in a list. Disadvantages: Limited features compared to other comprehensive SEO tools. More on reddit.com

Hey! For keyword research under $50, I've actually tried quite a few tools over the years. Mangools/KWFinder is decent but personally I think Keysearch is better value - its around $17/month and pretty comparable to the basic semrush features. They have a good difficulty score metric and show you plenty of long tail keywords. Another approach thats worked well for me: Use ubersuggest's free version for initial research then cross reference with google trends + google's 'people also ask' sections. its not perfect but gives you decent insights if your on a budget Whatever tool you go with, focus on finding lower competition long-tail keywords that are still relevant to your niche. Thats how I grew my first few SEO clients before I could afford the premium tools. btw if your doing SEO for clients, you might want to look into adding backlinks to your services. Ive found thats where the real value is for most businesses trying to rank. Feel free to dm me if you want some tips on that! cheers More on reddit.com
