Tools & How-To
You can build and grow an AdSense site almost entirely with free tools — the trick is knowing which ones matter and how to use them. This guide collects the practical how-tos: keyword research, adding AdSense to WordPress, speeding up your site, getting indexed, and the free tools that handle each job.
Google's own free tools do most of the heavy lifting — Search Console for indexing and rankings, Keyword Planner and Trends for research, PageSpeed Insights for speed — alongside a free SEO plugin and a design tool for images. You do not need paid software to start.
The step-by-step guides below walk through each task for beginners, so you can set things up correctly the first time instead of guessing.
