Likewise is used when you are comparing 2 similar things.
Example sentence: I have been very organised this week. Likewise, I should be organised next week.
Also is simply when you are saying something that adds information.
I ate some cake and also some biscuits.
Too is similar to also but used more casually in the context of adding to something already said.
For example:
Janet - I want to go there.
Jane - I want to go too!
Hope that helps :)

'Also' and 'too' have similar meanings (both are used to add some more info), but different positions in a sentence.
'Also' usually goes with the verb (after 'be' but before the main verb)
Examples: This information is also available online.
He speaks perfect English. He also speaks some German and Dutch.
In speaking, 'also' can go at the beginning of a clause to give more importance to a new piece of information.
It's a nice house, but it's very small. Also, it needs a lot of repairs.
BUT!!! In formal written English it is better to avoid "also" at the beginning of a sentence and use "Furthermore/Moreover"
'Too' usually goes at the end of the sentence.
Example: She can sing very well and she can play the piano too.
Likewise has 2 meanings:
1) -similarly/ in the same way (formal use)
Examples:
Nanny put on a shawl and told the girls to do likewise.
The clams were delicious. Likewise, the eggplant was excellent.
2) used to return someone’s greeting or polite statement
Example:
‘You’re always welcome at our house.’ ‘Likewise.’
