Is there a way to crawl my site or Google for search positions using the free version of SeoTools?
If I have the paid version, do I need a paid subscription to any of the connected services?
My domain is blocked to many external tools unless we internally whitelist the IP. How does that affect SEO Tools?
You basically need the Pro version of SeoTools to access the Connectors for services that provide search positions. The subscriptions for these services varies and it's possible you can get by with a free limited subscription or trial.
SeoTools collects whatever the external API gives us, so there's shortcut if your domain is blocked
