1. INTERNAL URL DATA
Most CMS allow for export of all pages/posts
CMS ExportGo to your domain.com/sitemap.xml to get a list of all URLsIf you don’t have a sitemap I suggest using YoastSEO to help make one.
Sitemap XMLUse a “crawler” to crawl your site to obtain a list of all URLs.
Site Crawl
1. CRAWLING TOOLS
• http://bit.ly/xenu-signup• Free• Simple but effective for smaller sites
• Exports a CSV and/or a report to a Browser
Xenu
• http://bit.ly/sfrog-signup • Has a free version with limited functionality for sites up to 500 pages
• Paid version is only £99.00 Per Year
• Has a great export and overall ability to dig into a site.
Screaming Frog
• http://bit.ly/deepc-signup • Starts at $80 a month for 100,000 URLS
• Great for small to medium sites but really not cost effective for larger sites (yet)
• Really nice reporting ability• Doesn’t impact your computer like Xenu or Screaming Frog can as it is SaaS
Deepcrawl
2. INTERNAL ANALYTICS DATA

3. LINK DATA TOOLS
• http://bit.ly/ahrefs-signup• Great source for link data• Has other features that
make up for the smaller link data set (compared to Majestic)
Ahrefs
• http://bit.ly/majestic-signup• Great tool and data source• I believe them to have the
biggest and best data set for links
Majestic
• http://bit.ly/linkdetox-signup
• Not cheap but has a great selection of link data tools
• They use multiple sources for data so while not a native database, they likely have the largest combined data set

7. ANALYZE Hey beer + data = FUN
(just more data and not too much beer) or else you will suddenly realize your new content ideas all revolve around horrible horrible ideas.
Right @hucksbeerbuzz?
8. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS + CONTENT ANALYSIS + GAP ANALYSIS = PRODUCE MORE CONTENTSo why did I just go through this whole process? With it you can do the following:- Try to understand what
content to make for specific social networks, keywords and audiences.
- You could also do this on your competitor sites to understand what they are producing and how it might be doing.
