Hello everybody! I have seen great quality in major SEO tools like MOZ, Semrush and Ahrefs, but which one has worked better for you guys? Are there any other good options?
I'm talking about price, features, scalability, etc.
I'm currently using MOZ, but I haven't had a lot of time to go through the others to fully see what's good or bad.
Thanks!

SurferSEO and KeywordsEverywhere are also great go-tos. I use them to narrow topics to write about for clients.
I like SEM Rush, Moz, Moz, and especially Screaming Frog (free version)
Using Apps for SEO does not place you ahead of everyone else using the same tool.
Most be of these tools have auditing software that gives false information. Moz does it and SEM rush is notorious as is Ubersuggest. Great for amateurs and professionals who know enough SEO to get by. I use Brightlocal as my SEO dashboard for clients. As for Audits, they have an excellent audit tool but I still rely on a combination of GTMetrix and manual audits for my clients.
Tool are just that. Tools.
All of them do ask you to connect to Your Google analytics, Google search console and Google my business to get better picture of what is going on on your site. Bing also has some good tools to measure your site metrics.
Think about it - you need to measure, tools are estimates, unless connected and measure real visits etc.Sometimes estimates are enough. Site and URL structure is very important of course.
A good percentage of visits are your competition checking around what are you up to , bots or someone selling links lol.
Good Systems and processes work, great ones get results regardless of algorithm updates.
Great suggestion Carl Henderson we use Semrush and Ahrefs as well as UberSuggest. We haven't used the paid version of MOZ. How do you like it?
I have tried them all, and I prefer RankMath Pro. Regular RankMath is free and works beautifully with WordPress. It is good to keep a few different analyzers in your toolbox to compare and contrast.
As a small business owner trying to boost our SEO, which of these services would be best? It looks like they are all around $100/mth.
The approach your taking is not going to get you where you want to be. There are so many things that affect your web rank, MOZ and the others are not put together in a way that addresses all the things you need to do. If you don't know how to do the work, its best to get someone like me to do it for you. :) Regardless of what Google tells you, much of the old style of SEO is still working and is still google friendly. Most SEO people don't cover how important it is to have rank on google, but also on about 200 other platforms.
I currently use ahrefs predominantly but none of them are perfect.
