Asana is the name of Project Management Tools. We should use it for SEO Project. It has a lot of features. My first job in Search Laboratory out of college was as a junior executive at a local ad agency. I managed anywhere from 7-10 clients at a time. From responding to client emails, ghostwriting email responses for my senior account executive, creating and pitching presentations, coordinating efforts between our teams, and the usual coffee runs, I did it all.

Can you guess how I kept this all organized? A legal pad. If these project management tools had existed in 2010, I may have spared myself hours of crying in the parking lot fist-pumping to gangster rap and daydreaming about how I’m going to quit my job. But, how do you know which project management tool is best for managing SEO? Lucky for you, I’ve got the inside scoop. I’ve tested, failed, and succeeded with various project management tools. So, thanks to a little help from my fellow readers, here is the essential project management tools for SEO. The search ends now.
