Categories

SEO tools grouped by what they're actually for — keyword research, rank tracking, technical audits, and more. Every category still sorts by the same tier system — this just answers "what's it for," not "could I build it myself."

Doesn't fit our categories, but worth a look

A few tools don't cleanly match any category above — each is mechanically unlike anything else in the directory, not a similar group we could lump together honestly. Diib, Similarweb, SearchPilot.
