3. LinkedIn Advanced Search

You may say that LinkedIn Advanced Search is just a function of the platform itself, and to an extent you would be right. But what you have to remember is that LinkedIn killed off the Sector Skills tool because they wanted to make money from it, and they broke it in the process.

Advanced Search is the easiest way to find influencers that you can work with in the area of business. If you don’t work as a business, or LinkedIn isn’t your scene, there are plenty of other tools, such as Kred and Klout to measure someone’s online reputation.

4. Google Keyword Planner

Formerly known as the Google Keyword Tool, the Google Keyword Planner makes it easy to understand customer search behavior. If you are running an SEO campaign, the keyword planner will make it a matter of simplicity to discover what people are searching for, along with how much competition you are likely to run up against by aiming for those same search terms.

Since it comes with so many tools, you can combine this with Webmaster Tools to cover all the bases when it comes to search.

5. Similar Web

The Similar Web freemium tool was launched way back in 2013. It started out as a tool that offered free stats on all sites, including referral sites. This is superior to Google’s similar tool the Ad Planner because it isn’t restricted just to media sites. You can use it on absolutely any website on the Internet to get an idea of a brand’s stats.

This is a great method to make sure that you have competitor site benchmarking covered. You can even combine it with tools like Compete and Alexa for reliable results inside the US.
