Free SEO Tool Software – Screaming Frog. Now Rank UP!

The free SEO Tool Software – Screaming Frog is a small desktop program you can install on your PC or Mac that spiders websites’ links, images, CSS, scripts, and apps from an SEO perspective. It fetches key onsite page elements for SEO, presents them in tabs by type, and allows you to filter for common SEO issues, or slice and dice the data how you see fit by exporting it into Excel. You can view, analyze and filter the crawl data as it’s gathered and updated continuously in the program’s user interface.

The Screaming Frog SEO Spider allows you to quickly analyze, audit, and review a site from an onsite SEO perspective. It’s particularly good for analyzing medium to large sites where manually checking every page would be extremely labor intensive (or impossible!) and where you can easily miss a redirect, meta refresh or duplicate page issue.

The spider allows you to export key onsite SEO elements (URL, page title, meta description, headings, etc) to Excel so it can easily be used as a base to make SEO recommendations. Our video below provides a demonstration of what the tool can do –
