Why Bother with SEO Tools?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\r\n

Everyone loves SEO tools. They help us do our job and back our theories with data, be it qualitative or quantitative.<\/p>\n

There are lots of factors that impact Google ranking<\/a> and there are a number of instruments that can aid you in your SEO journey.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re going to review 35 uncommon SEO tools that may not have ever heard of.<\/p>\n

Note, we won\u2019t cover the well-known ones like Semrush, Ahrefs, Moz, Hike and so on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now we\u2019re looking at tools that are not as mainstream.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Tools That Suggest Headline Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you know, having an awesome title is super important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only it tremendously affects the CTR of your content, but your title (e.g H1) is one of the most important on-page SEO factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it\u2019s vital that your post title is catchy and contains your target keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you\u2019re writing your next blog post, you might want to use any of the tools below to generate some ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portent’s Content Idea Generator<\/a> (Free)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one is my personal favourite, because it works exactly as described and suggests one headline idea at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suggested headlines range from really cool to bizarre, so give it a few tries \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example for “electric cars” subject:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Content Row Headline Generator<\/a> (Freemium)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one can be hilarious at times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like about this tool is that it suggests some really clickbait titles that will likely improve your CTR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it gives you multiple options at once and you can even filter them by specific categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another example of “electric cars” subject:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Just don\u2019t take this tool too seriously, it\u2019s really a \u201cmeme-like\u201d headline generator, that works well for catching attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headline Wizard<\/a> (Free)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This tool goes a step further than the ones mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because you can fill in more details such as product name and desirable result. Thus, you get a (hopefully) more accurate headline.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I was actually surprised that most of the suggested titles are actually quite usable, if you do some grammar tweaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog Title Generator<\/a> (Freemium)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This last tool on our list is not very different from the other ones we came across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features a nice interface, and also lets you specify which category your target keyword belongs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, multiple intrusive interstitials on the page are just annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n

SEO Tools That Explore Trending Subjects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are very few evergreen subjects out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, you have to watch out for trends when writing content. This will ensure that your blog content is as timely, relevant and up-to-date as you want it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are quite a few tools that suggest trending topics and keywords, based on their number of search queries in Google, social media mentions and other similar factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s review a few of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Trends<\/a> (Free)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Okay, you most likely use Google Trends already, but this list would be incomplete without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a really neat tool that scores interest around a certain topic from 1 (no tension) to 100 (peak).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say that the data you get comes directly from Google, so it is pretty reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see on the screenshot below, the query \u201ccyberpunk 2077\u201d was booming with popularity in December 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes sense given that the game was just released at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Google Trends is not a perfect tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, it only analyzes data that Google controls (search data, image data etc.) and social signals (tweets, facebook shares) are not taken into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, it is meant to analyze performance of a specific query over time, but the tool falls short to suggest fresh topics that are raising more awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look: while we have an idea (and percentages) of how a certain topic is becoming more popular – those terms are not new to the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, Google Trends works great for analysis of existing trends, but it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll find a blue ocean kind of subject or a golden mine here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q-Stats – Quora Marketing Tool <\/a>(Free) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to see what people are talking about is by looking through Quora. If you don\u2019t know what Quora is, Quora is Q&A platform that receives over 550 million unique visitors per month (according to SimilarWeb). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Q-stats Quora marketing tool provides free marketing and SEO insights for every question on Quora, and allows marketers to see what potential customers  are asking about in their industry (or directly about a business). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take this question for example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
