It’s a holiday weekend in the US, what feels like national BBQ weekend here in the UK as we bask in unaccustomed heat and hopefully a whole lot of fun where you are…
So without further ado let’s plunge into a Weekend Takeaways full of fabulous freebies to help you and your business.
First up is a new keyword tool I came across that is a great alternative to Google Keyword Planner and Ubersuggest plus it is extremely accurate.
Essentially, it helps you find what people are typing in the Google search box which means you get hundreds of invaluable longtail keywords and phrases. It also works in any language which is a huge plus.

There are a number of tools that help you analyse how well your Facebook page is performing but this one helps you analyse your personal account activity and its effectiveness – useful if, like many marketers, you mix the two:
