– You wanna rank number one on Google.

How do you think you do it? Most people say you need to build links.

Most people say you need to do on page SU.

But where do you start? Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm gonna share with you, seven free tools that will help you rank number one on Google.

My first tip for you isQuick Sprout analyzer.

Quick Sprouts a free tool, you go to quicksprout.

com, you put in your URL, it's agameified SEO application, and it'll tell you and break down all of the things that are wrong, and it'll either walk you through how to fix some step by step.

For example, if you're notputting in the right keywords in your title tag or your description or in your alt image tags, Quick Sprout will tell you.

And you just click a buttonand it even shows you, which keywords to add where.

And you know what, the coolpart about Quick Sprout, is if you're not technical, and you wanna publish these changes, you don't need to know coding, Quick Sprout can publish them all for you.

The second tool I have for youif you're using Word Press, is a Yoast SEO plugin, it'sone of my favorite tools.

It has a free version and a paid version.

I personally use the paid version, but you can pick either one.

They're both amazing, nowwith the Yoast SEO plugin, every time you publish a blog post, it'll give you a score and tell you, hey, here's how you can do your title tag, your metadescription, and youan pick different keywords and show search enginessomething different than what you show users.

And the cool part aboutthe Yoast SEO plugin is you can optimize eachand every single one of your blog posts to get themaximum amount of traffic.

And every time yourelease a new blog post, it even updates your sitemapfor you automatically.

Which gets me into my third free tool, Google Search Console.

Now with Google Search Consolewhat it ends up doing is, every time you publish anew blog post or a page, you have an XML site map.

The XML site map is probablygonna be created by the Yoast Plugin, that's what I use, and that's what most experts use.

You then submit it to Search Console.

In addition to thatSearch Console shows you how many impressions you're getting, how many clicks you're getting, which pages are popular, and it even shows you which keywords are gettinga lot of impressions for, but not a lot of clicks, you can then go and optimize your content byadding those keywords in, adjusting your title tag, yourmetadescription to include those keywords, andmaximize your click to rate.

This will increase yourrankings without you having to build even one single link.

The fourth tool I havefor you is Google Trends.

Let's say there's a car industry.

And there's General Motors, and BMW.

They both have millions ofdollars to spend on SEO.

They both have millions of back links.

How does Google know? Should you rand General Motors or BMW? Well one of the factors withinGoogle is brand queries.

And Google Trends shows you this.

As you can see BMW is morepopular than General Motors.

So more people are typing in BMW and all the other SEOfactors are very similar.

What are they gonna do? They're gonna rank the more popular car manufacturer ahead of the other.

The fifth free tool I have for you is websiteresponsivetest.

com.

Sometimes they're more powerfulthan some old computers.

So, you wanna make sureyour website is responsive and people on mobile devicescan load your website extremely fast, and using this free tool, it'll show you how other website and mobile visitors are seeing your website.
