Feedback on different SEO Tools

[mrodriguez1440]

Can anyone give me their opinion on these different tools?

1.  MOZ vs. AHREF (I'm a happy MOZ subscriber, but I would like feedback) (or any other tool you'd recommend)

2.  WhiteSpark vs. BrightLocal (or any other tool you recommend)

3.  Optimizely vs. Visual Website Optimizer (or any other tool you recommend)

4.  Hootsuite vs. ??? (can't think of another one) (or any other tool you recommend)

5.  Weebly vs. Wordpress (to build websites)

Lastly, please feel free to recommend any other tools you find are helpful for either SEO, Local SEO, Social management.

Thanks.

1. MajesticSEO is another decent link tool, Ahrefs is very good as well.

2. I like White Spark for citation finding.

3. Optimizely is good with CRO it depends on your budget tools go from one price to VERY expensive some are 4,000+ a month.

4. Hootsuite for social management is good, I also like Topsy for social monitoring.

5. Wordpress is good if you use the Genesis framework ?

MOZ has more metrics and is very detailed, but in terms of freshness and latest links recommend using href and majestic SEO. One more advantage of using href and majestic SEO is that the reports can be downloaded ASAP. Unfortunately for whatever reasons reports by MOZ take more time to download.

Whitespark is especially useful in cases of US and UK citations. However for Asia and Africa specific regions, the results are not very good

For lead based websites, recommend using wordpress since its free and very user friendly. For e commerce related websites, majento is highly recommended as it is more stable.
