So the goal of a free trial is to find the tool that matches your current SEO goals.

Or, if there is no SEO budget whatsoever, the goal could be to exploit the free trial for as much free SEO as you possibly can and then bail.

That works, too.

Whatever the case, here are my top SEO tools you can try before you buy:

1. Ahrefs

All-in-one SEO software with the largest backlink index on the market.

Ahrefs is one of the best SEO tools on the market.

It is packed choke-full of SEO features, enough to cover the entire cycle of website optimization.

It is also one of the few SEO tools relying on its own data to do website analysis.
