Spinning this off from the Random Chat thread. Just going to continue where it left off but everyone feel free to join in with anything SEO related. Most when searching the site at this point were a little out of date or spread out.
@MTF thanks for the recommendation for the keyword research tool lowfruits. So far I am liking it but with the credits I've used so far not identified any "low fruits" - going to keep plugging away. Do you usually go for a certain minimum number of "apples" or whatever they are before you spend time on making an article?
RE: Koala vs surfer. For now as SEO is not my big focus I am going to just start with koala as it is a bit cheaper and grow into Surfer (or at that point maybe hire someone to take over SEO externally). I think free tier SEMRush + Koala may suffice for now on that but maybe I am wrong here as I am ignorant of SEO and its tools to be honest. But still plan to watch a couple review videos of them being used as the view I've seen using Koala seem to still use Surfer in the videos haha.
You also had mentioned Yoast - I got it installed on my wordpress site - do you recommend the paid version?
I've also seen a lot of people mention monitoring Google provided site tools - is that something you worry about or check in on from time to time?
