1. Search Engine Optimization- SEMrush

SEMrush is an SEO tool that gives brands insight into the top ranked keywords in their market. In addition to providing information on best SEO practices to increase traffic, the suite also provides information on what competitors are using to increase engagement on their websites and social media.

One of the best features of SEMrush is that it ranks SEO keywords by device (desktop, mobile, and tablet). This is useful for brands that want to optimize their websites for users on a particular device or across different devices.

Google Analytics is a tool that integrates with your website to track and analyze audience engagement. It helps brands answer questions such as:

• How many people are visiting your site every day?
• What pages are they going to?
• Are Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising campaigns having an affect on sales conversions?

Essentially, it helps brands understand which of their content and marketing strategies are working or not working. This gives valuable insight into what areas of a site need to be optimized.

3. Email Marketing- MailChimp

MailChimp is an email service provider that makes it easy to design and promote marketing campaigns.

In addition, to sign up forms that embed into social media platforms, MailChimp also offers customizable newsletters that can be tailored to promotions, press stories or other content.

Note: MailChimp offers integration with several CRM plugins, such as Zoho CRM and Pipedrive. But MailChimp does not have CRM capabilities on its own.

4. Mention Tracking- Trackur
