honestly as a dev you should know the basics – Google Search Console and Google Analytics. Then maybe Screaming Frog for crawling your site and finding broken links. I use SEMrush for keyword research but its kinda expensive. Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools is free and good enough for checking page speed and basic SEO stuff. thats pretty much all you need to start with
As a developer can I go for a SEO roles ?
I like your video presentation. It is informative too, at the same time. Thanks a lot for your guidance!

Most of the articles about “SEO tool guides” only mention several common names but not provided enough information to make a full decision.
This article will include a review of tools that are powerful and relatively new, which is helpful to those who don’t want to spend too much time on their decision or don’t have enough time in the day. The list includes five tools: SEMrush, Moz Local, SERPO, Google Search Console and Keyword Planner. Thanks for sharing this video
Nice!
Crystal and Martin are quite the pair–LOVED IT!
I like to use screaming frog for checking the site structure, among other things, using the force directed crawl diagram. Its a great feature the tool has and gives good insight.
