Google Search Console
Google Search Console — It is not a substitute for the paid platforms above, but every site owner should use it because it is Google’s own source for search-performance and URL-indexing diagnostics; pair it with one of the platforms above rather than treating it as optional.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Screaming Frog SEO Spider — Not a complete marketing platform, but it is the technical SEO tool I would most insist on adding to almost any serious stack because it gives you flexible, highly detailed crawling, rendering, extraction, migration QA, and issue validation.
