Manual efforts to determine keyword density, sentence length, grammatical integrity, and reading flow are time-consuming. Therefore, professional content writers like me use several online services that save our resources while helping us with search engine optimization (SEO). This post contains the free tools that empower content creators, digital marketers, and website owners to compete in this internet era.
SmallSEOTools.com
Headquartered at 438 Streatham High Road in London, this online service provider offers 13 keyword research and analysis tools. I have used its keyword density checker and related keyword finder. After all, when you begin your journey as a content writer or SEO manager, you knowingly or cluelessly stuff keywords. If you have a new website, the desperation of getting recognition, Google indexing, and user traffic will force you into keyword stuffing.
However, unethical and spammy individuals engage in keyword stuffing, attracting a well-deserved penalty from search engines. Using the keyword density checker offered by SmallSEOTools, I used to keep the stuffing risks in check. Remember, once you get a reputation as a blogger or freelance content writer who ignores keyword density standards, it will be challenging to regain the client’s and blogging community’s trust.
The SmallSEOTools also provide 11 backlink reporting tools. I have used its broken link checker because I redirected some old links on my Blogspot to consolidate the pages with similar content and deleted some posts without preserving their URL path.
This mistake still haunts me. If you have started a website, never unpublish a blog post irresponsibly. Please make a backup of its URL and content.
You can find hundreds of online facilities at SmallSEOTools that help maintain a website, split a PDF, analyze meta tags, retrieve server data, and download videos from the top social networking sites like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

Conclusion
