We've all been there. You're scheduling tweets and thinking "there's got to be a better way", you're creating a Facebook post and thinking "hmm, what would make this easier?". Here are the apps, tools, software and widgets we love to use and share with clients...

Additionally we don't want to provide you with options that are dangled in front of your face but are unusable because they cost the earth.

You may have heard of these tools before, but for us this is about making sure everyone is making use of the obvious...

Hootsuite

Schedule social media posts, monitor results for certain searches, create multiple profiles and watch them all grow with this one, free social media management dashboard. Many marketers and small businesses use Hootsuite for it's ease of use and never-ending list of options. The greatest, free, all-rounder that has came into the social media world in recent years (in our opinion).

Tweepi

Use this social media management tool to analyse and manage your Twitter followers more effectively than ever. It has the ability to extract and analyse personal data from your Twitter account to manage existing followers and potential followers. Find out details of followers who are no longer worthwhile to your company, who no longer use Twitter and quite frankly, are unnecessary. Build or streamline your following with Tweepi - the choice is yours. 

Wordpress

We want you to blog! It doesn't matter if you cannot code, you should at least dabble and do so by creating a WordPress site, with a free template and just practicing. When you realise just how worthwhile it is for so much of your online presence, you'll ask for help or continue to optimise yourself! Either way, we're happy!

Google Analytics

Although we know that our messaging on SEO is clear - the game has changed. There is nothing more important than reassuring yourself about how visitors use your site, when they enter the funnel, where they leave and how they're finding you. Google Analytics has always been a powerful tool and its constant development means it remains at the forefront of understanding your website's success and the experience your potential new leads are having. 

Thrive

Thrive is an actual marketing tool! Good that we described it as that and not just "we are tools"... We're embracing new methods of technology all of the time, one of which being our incredible inbound marketing software and a suite of add-on tools which all mean that you can generate new leads faster and create customers through the attract, convert, close and delight methods like never before.
