Nice list Harsh, I got couple of good resources from this post, thanks for the same. But I missed couple of good tools which I use almost everytime I do SEO. Like Xenu for broken link analysis (Obviously you mentioned ScreamingFrog), UberSuggest for LSI keywords, Schema-Creator for creating Schema structured data, these could have been added.
But I really enjoyed the list and some of them are new to me which I will explore and will see how effective they are in doing their jobs. Thanks for the share.

Thanks!

Hey Harsh,

This was an extensive but great list of tools. I use just 3 of the ones you mentioned which are Sumome, Evernote and bufferapp.

There are two that I use that wasn’t mentioned which are Thrive leads which is used to create opt in forms and Revive Old Post plugin where you can schedule how many tweets per day of you older blog posts. The oNE thing that stood out to me with thrive leads is their A/B testing feature. It’s unique in and of itself since the system can automatically choose which forms performs the best for you.

Thanks for sharing this valuable list! Have a good one!
