Ladies and Gents! (I am sure some men might read my post too!)
Let’s talk about my Free SEO Toolbox—because in this wild, ever-changing online world, we’re not about to let some sneaky search engine algorithms dull our sparkle!
I know you are probably thinking what did Google do?
It is always them, never Yahoo or Bing right? Well, they are changing how people will receive results on any given query. In the past, you would type in: “How to create a lead magnet?” and Google will show you the top 10 pages with sponsored ads at the top.
Now, their AI collects all the information from the internet and gives their AI result at the top of the page. Followed by sponsored sites, and then the top 10 pages.
And yes! A lot of websites, especially bloggers felt that change, with many top companies saying that Blogging is dead. So, do we believe everything we hear and say, or do we adapt to the changes and keep using essential tools to increase our website performance?
Well, I can tell you, as it is right now, it does not apply to all search queries. It is currently experiential and you will find it will only give you AI results-sometimes.
Will SEO go away?
It is my opinion that SEO will never go away. It might evolve, but we will always need to make sure search engines know what our sites and/or posts are about, and therefore, if you’re running a website (or dreaming about it), my FREE SEO toolbox, is just what you need to ensure you implement the most important parts when it comes to SEO. And yes, there are many other factors to SEO too, but getting the basics right will give you a head start.
Now, I want you to see Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as your website’s stylist. It’s all about making your site look fabulous in the eyes of Google, so it can strut its stuff at the top of search results. Why does this matter? Because being under the top 10 of the results = more visitors = more eyeballs on your amazing content or products = winning! 🏆
Here’s Why SEO could be your superpower
- Boost Your Site’s Performance: If you implement what is in my toolbox, you will have a faster, smoother, and prettier site for your visitors.
- Attract the Right Crowd: You will also have access to my preferred tools to create targeted keywords that your audience is searching for.
- Outshine the Competition: If you use the tools I suggest and follow the pattern in my spreadsheet, you will have a major edge over your competition. Especially if they are not concerned about SEO.
- Get Insider Info: After installing and applying the strategies mentioned, you will soon realize tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, and others will show you exactly when something goes wrong on your site.
What is in the SEO Toolbox
So, whether you’re blogging, selling, or just building your online empire, this toolbox will show you the process to get it done like a pro (without breaking a sweat).
When you download your copy of the toolbox, you will see the main section which will include the following topics:
- Keyword Research
- The Foundation
- User Experience
- Performance
- Technical SEO
- Content Strategy
- On-Page SEO
- Off-Page SEO
- Local SEO
Each one of these topics with have sub-topics that you will need to implement. Once it is done, you will be able to change the status to either “not started, in progress or completed”. Some of them will stay “in progress” because it is an ongoing topic. You will also be able to add a start and end date with notes, just in case you are outsourcing some of the work.
In this post, I am not going to cover all these points, as you will be able to download the toolbox and work systematically through it, but I do want to explain the various keyword research tools that form the starting point of your implementation plan.
Please note that there are hundreds of different types of keyword research tools and I am only mentioning a few. You can use anyone you feel comfortable with or who fits your current budget.
Keyword Research Tools

This is a free SEO audit tool with 3 searches a day. If you need more, you will need to upgrade. I use the paid version and will not go without it.
