Keyword Research

TRY KEYSEARCH

Keysearch is my favorite SEO and keyword research tool. It’s not free, but it’s the cheapest and most helpful SEO tool in my LGG toolbox.

Best Hosting Platforms

TRY LYRICAL

Bluehost is great, but Lyrical is faster. Good SEO means fast loading times. I started with Bluehost, then switched to Lyrical. Just start with Lyrical. Their customer service is great, too. Use code LAZY10

TRY BIGSCOOTS

If you are all in and know you’ll succeed no matter what and/or have many sessions, go for Bigscoots. I wish I had started with them. If you are a newbie and this is your first blog, go with Lyrical, as mentioned above. 

Plugins

TRY LINKWHISPER

One of my favorite tools! START using this plugin from the beginning; trust me, once you have 100 posts, you’ll be grateful you did it from the jump. Linkwhisper makes it easier to manage internal links, a hallmark of good SEO.

TRY SHORTPIXEL

ShortPixel compresses and optimizes your images for a small price. When bloggers compress and optimize images, site speed improves; when site speed improves, that means best SEO practices and better rankings.

TRY WP ROCKET

WP Rocket caches your pages by creating static HTML files and making them easily available for future visitors, allowing for faster sitespeed, and faster sitespeed means ranking higher with Google.

Best SEO Ranking Tool

TRY RANKIQ

RankIQ is the #1 content optimization tool for bloggers looking to rank on the first page of Google. I used RankIQ for my third blog and it made all the difference, I was ranking within months with a brand new blog in the first few spots on Google.

Best Tool to Build Your List

TRY INTERACT

Interact makes quizzes easy to create. Personalize your marketing strategy by creating a quiz for your audience. Brand your quiz with your voice; it’s one of the best ways to get subscribers to your list, and it is easy and fun to create.
