Hi everyone,

I’m a rookie who would love some opinions of what tools to consider for our Magento 1 community website. It was built in around 2014 and was mostly neglected until I came along. I love learning how to make things affect our ranking, but I’d like to be more accurate in what I’m doing. I’m self-taught, so it's all very challenging! I’m trying the monthly trial of Seobility. It seems very comprehensive. It would be great to have your wealth of experience on what else would give me feedback.

Thanks Tina

SEMrush for no doubt. It has tons of tools inside to help you improve your website seo. I mostly use it for my competitors traffic analysis and organic keyword tracking.
