What would you like
to understand first?

Start with the question you have today. Work through the basics at your own pace or get help with a specific problem.

The first article is demonstration content for this website preview.

Before you buy software

Choose a tool
for a job you actually have.

A subscription makes sense when you know what you will use it for, who will use it and how often. Start with the question you need answered.

01 / SEARCH DATA

Can people find my website?

Start with Google Search Console, Google’s free service showing searches and clicks to your website. Learn which pages people find before paying for a research subscription.

Understand the numbers ↗
02 / CONTENT

What should I put on this page?

Collect customer questions and review your existing pages first. A writing or research tool is worth considering when it helps a repeatable task and you can check the result.

Start with your existing pages ↗
03 / WEBSITE CHECKS

Which problems need fixing?

A scanning tool can find broken links and other issues. You still need to decide which ones affect customers and who can fix them. A one-off review may suit a small site better than an ongoing subscription.

How I approach tool recommendations

Guides explain the job a tool does, who it suits, the cost to check and the free options worth considering. Any affiliate link will be labelled near the recommendation. I may earn a commission if you buy through one.
