What’s in your SEO Toolbox? What are your tools of the trade? If you’re like me, you use a variety of tools. Some free. Some subscription-based.

I’ve been doing a specific series of manual tasks for several years because there just aren’t any tools that do the job. But, now with all the Mashups, and API’s available, I can finally create my own tool. Needless to say, I’m not willing to reveal my idea publically yet.

The target audience is for professional SEO Consultants, Ad agencies, and on the client-side. What is a comfortable price you’re willing to pay for a new, solid SEO tool?

When I say new, I don’t just mean another tool that checks Title tags, Meta data, H1’s etc. There are already tons of free SEO tools available. I’m talking about paying for a tool that doesn’t already exist.

This tool I have in mind will help the SEO Consultant demonstrate his/her effectiveness.

Is $4.99 recurring monthly easy payment to make?
How about a one-time $49.99 per year?
Does $24.99 per year make it easier to sign-up?
Do you only use free tools?
Any other pricing models make sense?

If it helps your success, and helps you retain clients are these realistic pricing models?

I don’t know the answer to this. Think of this post as a fist stab at some market research. Nothing official. Just to give me an idea. Comments are always much appreciated! I also created a Poll.
