Best affordable seo tool for startups

Entrepreneurs, what’s the best SEO tool you’ve used for B2C? There are so many options now (thanks to AI), and I’m looking for one that’s affordable for a startup that hasn’t launched yet. I’d appreciate advice or suggestions—especially if you think it’s too early for me to invest in a tool.

I’ve checked out SEMrush, and it looks decent, but I’ve seen some mixed reviews. I’m also exploring Beehive. Are there any other tools I should consider?

Also, are there any good SEO courses worth taking? There’s a lot out there, and I’m not sure where to start.

Google Analytics and Ads are great places to start. They’re free and offer solid data for SEO.

SEMrush has a lot to offer, even in its lower-tier plans. They include tools like ContentShake, which is AI-powered for content creation. Definitely worth looking into.

Interesting! I hadn’t heard of ContentShake before. I’ll check it out. I’m not just looking for GenAI tools—I need something that helps create a strategy using keywords to develop content for my site and social media.

SE Ranking, Moz, and Ahrefs are all solid options.

I looked into Ahrefs—it seems very impressive.
