Over 100,000 customers in more than 120 countries use HubSpot's software to attract, engage, and delight their customers.
Designed for marketing managers in businesses of all sizes that want to optimize their online visibility across key channels and create engaging content for users.
I love the workflows and granular data you can dig into with Hubspot. It makes marketing tasks very exciting and fun to design.
Does not have integration with Microsoft ads so tracking the performance of search ads in Bing is difficult. Most landing page templates are ugly and hard to configure.
In general, I would describe this very wonderful experience with your company, which is distinguished by its wonderful style and dealings, and this is the most important thing to me.
For the non advanced/experienced users, some features can be confusing, also, we had some problems with email delivery. Pricing for Brazil is extremely high, due to currency exchange.
This is amazing all in one marketing platform. This is great marketing platform to be connected with clients.
Sometimes the lessons are a bit hard for me and a lot of information could be a bit confusing.
Analytics tracking and lead capture are super easy to use and implement. I find the reporting on communication and reading analytics super useful and impactful in strategic planning.
Also, workflows can be confused in their elaboration. Recomendation: Test before you start on.
From setting up rank tracking to reviewing keyword suggestions it's very easy to use. Their customer support has also been fantastic and they seem very eager to help.
It can be misleading for clients when determining if they rank for a specific keyword and Semrush says ranking 2nd but it means the map pack with no details on where it is in the actual SERP.
Tons of keyword ideas, and their ranking ability is separated by easy, possible, hard and difficult. I love the ability to save my keywords to projects like post ideas.
There are too many "additional packages" you can purchase for ridiculous amounts of money.
SEMrush is a nice tool for digital marketing and analytics. The keyword tool is very helpful and one of the best parts of this system.
It's almost crazy to say, but there is so many things this software does, it's hard to focus on the right things at the right time for your business.
I love how I can make notations and change statuses in the tool to track progress. Support team is awesome.
The pricing can sometimes be ridiculous. I am a one many side-hustle "SEO Agency", and I am spending $100 bucks a month on the tool.
Yongmei: Hi, my name is Yongmei. I'm the operations manager at BCR Publishing. Our company has around 10 staff, and I would give five out of five for HubSpot for rating. We use HubSpot for storing our contacts, our clients contacts, information, and also for marketing emails. It is user-friendly, and it's very easy to use, very intuitive, and it's just so simple to use. You don't really need any training. You get to just go around, learn it in five minutes. I can't think of anything really. Actually, I'm thinking a bit more about what I like about HubSpot because of the support is really, really very helpful, very fast and very right to the point. And also as for the deliverability, because we have used other marketing platform as well, but compared to HubSpot, the deliverability is much higher in HubSpot.
Sam: Hi, my name's Sam. I'm the director of a small digital marketing company based in the UK, and I give Semrush five out of five. Before we started using Semrush, we used a platform called Hike SEO. It was perfect for us at the time as we were quite new to SEO services, but we moved past our area of expertise and we outgrew this initial platform that we're using. So we're looking for new service provider to use, and we decided to use Semrush. Semrush offers a range of tools which are essential for SEO, such as the backlinks, analytics, and keyword analysis. So to offer decent good level SEO services to customers, Semrush offers everything that a white label agency such as ourselves would need to offer. The onboarding process is very easy to set up client projects. All you need is their domain, URL, and then you can set up a lot of the tools very simply, such as the audit tools and the backlink analytics. We haven't used all of the integration tools such as the search console integrations, but all of those look very useful should you decide to go down that route. Semrush is perfect if you have quite a few client accounts and client websites. So we currently have 15, and it offers great value for money when split across those 15 accounts. So if you are managing SEO services for a range of customers, a range of features and tools that they offer does offer good value for money across a large portfolio. Although it could be quite expensive if you are just monitoring one website.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
