AIProfiles

I’ve taught SEO for 20 years and this is the bit that clients can’t do themselves, so I built a tool to help.

Structured Data is having a moment thanks to AI – but a moment that’s not going to go away any time soon. If you don’t have a developer on tap, and can’t code, then this tool helps you create structured data for your business in 5 minutes. Use code TWEB to get it for £24 a year.

SiteVitals

SiteVitals is based on over 20 years of seeing the recurring website problems that occur – and crucially, go unnoticed – within businesses.

It’ll let you know if anything dips, but crucially it’ll also let you know if your site goes down, or if business-critical issues (like your domain expiring) are about to strike.
