Google Ads
Google Ads is the world's leading Pay Per Click platform, allowing business owners to advertise to people who are actively seeking their services and products.
SEMRush
We believe SEMRush is the world's leading search engine optimisation (SEO) platform. Offering a multitude of tools for Search Marketing, we track online performance using this valuable cloud-based platform.
Bing Ads
Bing Ads is Microsoft's version of Google Ads which at first glance is much less used. Many marketers (us included) see that there is significant value in this under-rated PPC platform, where competition and Cost Per Click (CPC) van be much lower.
Google Data Studio
Google's new "Data Studio" is rapidly becoming our standard reporting tool. It allows us to combine performance metrics and analysis from all the major PPC and SEO platforms, plus Google Search Console and others.
Swydo
Swydo is a very advanced PPC reporting tool. We use it when clients do not want or need the visual format of Google Data Studio.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider & Log File Analyser
Much of our Technical SEO analysis takes place with Screaming Frog's SEO Spider. It's an invaluable tool for any SEO agency and one we'd never be without. For utter 'forensic' technical SEO, we bring out the Log File Analyser which looks into how the Googlebot crawls through your site.
Google Search Console
Without doubt the most over-looked and under-utilised SEO tool out there. Most webmasters and SEOs only use a small part of the Search Console (formerly known as Google Webmaster Tools) but under the surface there is a mine of information.
Bing Webmsater Tools
Bing Webmaster Tools is like a combined version of Google Analytics and Google Search Console. It often provides us with a valuable insight into SEO missed by Google's tools.

SEO Powersuite is an offline suite of SEO tools with a long history of use by agencies and webmasters. We use both Website Auditor (for analysing websites) and SEO SpyGlass (for competition reports) on a regular basis.

Ahrefs is probably the most comprehensive database of backlinks accessible to SEO agencies. Offering a suite of enterprise level SEO tools, it's great for analysing off-site SEO efforts..
Wordpress
The Wordpress content management system (CMS) is the most widely used CMS in the world today. Far from its original 'blog' roots, Wordpress (technically wordpress.org) is the main driver behind so of the world's most popular websites.
[Brackets]
We thought we'd give a shout out to Brackets, the new kid on the code editor block. Most designers and developers use Sublime Text, Dreamweaver or Notepad++, but we've got a soft spot for this great text editor.
Opencart Ecommerce
Opencart is our preferred Ecommerce CMS. It's easy for customers to use and we love the interface - it allows us to design great, scalable shopping sites quickly and efficiently.
