The verdict

Every website should have Google Search Console connected from day one. It's free, it's from Google, and it shows you exactly how your pages perform in search. Ubersuggest is what you add when you want to go beyond your own data and find competitor keywords, backlink opportunities, and new topics to target. The combination is particularly useful for small business owners doing DIY SEO.
