What is the best SEO management tool?
I am interesting in hearing people's recommendations for SEO management tools that will help with keyword rank tracking, backlink analysis and other SEO tools. I know some options are moz, woorank, positionly, cognitiveSEO, but I'm not that familiar with them yet and want to get started with the right tool. Thanks.

Moz is all time higher ranking tool but apart from that SEMrush is one of the best tool for SEO search purpose such as Keywords, Competitors etc...

It all depends, overall, the best tools to use are the Google ones, and they're free. But to execute a truly successful SEO strategy, you'll need as much insight as you can get. The tools I can't do without are Ahrefs, Moz and Semrush. They each have their areas of expertise, but I prefer to use Semrush, it's great for keyword identification and monitoring, but Ahrefs is the best backlink checker and website analysis tool. Aside from Google Webmaster.
I hope it helps.

As mentioned Arshish, experience is the best tool. Tool have to be used only for data extraction, comparizon, analysis, reports generation.
But no tool will replace human analysis and experience sharing.
When we answer to a RFP, experience is what we highlight first.

Those are all good tools. I would suggest doing a few trials with a couple campaigns and see what functions are best for what your doing and ease of "your" use of them.

I think MOZ is the best tool on the market, their new MOZ local tool is also a great way to ensure all of your local listings are updated and consistent. If you haven't tried MOZ yet, you should. I believe they have a free trial too.

Moz is good to start with. Though no tool is perfect and can't be considered as perfect SEO management tool. In-fact there is no such which you can call 'SEO Management'
These tools just help your analyse your backlinks, keywords, meta data, etc. but the information they provide may be or may not be relied upon

I second (twenty-second) mentioning Moz, in addition to Webmaster Tools. Definitely a powerful combo. I have been playing around with a tool called Rank Ranger. They popped on my radar on LinkedIn and I have actually been impressed with their features. Don't love the name, but the tool is fairly well developed :-) Not cheap, but worth exploring.

Moz is the best (and great value) tool-set we've come across... As Chris Romero mentions below, complement with SEM Rush (or searchmetrics) and possibly Spyfu and you're away ;-)

I prefer to go with google webmaster tools, which is a best way to track the keywords and backlinks. Other than that you can try seo moz which is a limited access to check keywords and competitors and for backlink - backlinkwatch is one of the best backlink tool where you can see upto 1000 backlinks.

Thanks for all of the great advice. There are a lot of recommendations for moz, which is reaffirming since I have heard great things about it. There are also a lot of other great recommendations that I am going to look into. Thanks again for the terrific advice!

Hi Mary....
Have you thought of having a company do your SEO/SEM campaign for you?
I am with North America's largest local advertising company. We make it easy for customers to find you by having your company distributed to nearly 300 other search engines and websites (Google, bing, yahoo and now Yelp) with only 1 ad campaign placed with us. We also make it that regardless of what device the customer is using we make it so you are seen, seen often and seen in searches that are relevant which will translate to leads.
I welcome the opportunity to speak with you further so please feel free to private message me.
Thank You
