There’s no arguing that Google still has a stranglehold on the state and future of search engine optimization (SEO). In addition to being the dominant competitor (with 63.4 percent of the market, and the next leading competitor at 22.8 percent), Google is a leading provider of software and tools to measure your site’s performance, including Google Analytics and Google Search Console (previously referred to as Webmaster Tools).
