July 26, 2026

5.0

Pros

The absolutely best service out there to be in first position with every research. High prices but amazing product.

Cons

Paid plans are very very expensive and not for everyone. By the way, if you can afford them go for it!

### "Complet mais cher, Semrush n'offre pas de vrais essais "

October 9, 2025

5.0

Pros

Complet en tant qu'outils marketing. L'offre gratuite permet très bien de faire les recherches de données dont vous avez besoin sur votre site. J'ai utilisé plusieurs comptes pour obtenir des données et l'analyse sur mon site car en gratuit on est limités, très limités.

Cons

Je n'ai pas trouvé une offre d'analyse unique pour site web, il faut payer pour plus d'outils même s'ils ne seront pas utilisés.

### "Semrush is an Extraordinary Tool for Marketing Research"

March 10, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Semrush is in using it for paid search and SEO. It provides incredibly nuanced reports across markets for keywords and competitors and is a wonderful guide in looking for expansion opportunities.

Pros

Semrush is an incredible tool that aids in marketing research. Comprehensive, detailed, and takes care of research all things digital marketing related.

Cons

The user interface for the dashboard is a little dated and feels clunky to use, but once you learn it, it works like a charm.

Alternatives considered

[Ahrefs](https://www.capterra.com/p/176340/Ahrefs/)

Reason for choosing Semrush

Although I'm more familiar with Ahrefs multiple recommendations came from other marketing peers and they were spot on in their view. Semrush is ultimately a better product in my opinion.

### " Really helpful took for growing organic traffic "

August 10, 2025

5.0

Pros

I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now and it’s really easy to use. I like the new features they’ve added, but what I appreciate the most with Semrush is how accurate and detailed the data is, which makes it great for starting new projects. Their customer support is also quick to respond and helpful.

Cons

With so many features, the learning curve can feel overwhelming for beginners, and the price might also seem “high” for small businesses and freelancers.

### "NO TRIALS, NO REFUNDS, NOT WORTH IT"

October 8, 2025

1.0

Pros

I was on trial for multiple things on the platform and have asked for refund multiple times. They rejected my refunds and charged me for the whole year. I tried to ask for a refund they rejected it 3 times. Their tools that cost thousands of dollars are useless and not worth half of the price that they list it at. Will be moving on to AHREF. I'm new to the SEO game, lesson learnt. STAY AWAY.

### "A great platform to get a handle on you SEO situation"

July 20, 2025

4.0

We use quite a bit each week to help with our client's SEO, with a main focus on local SEO for service based businesses.

Pros

The amount of features it has that can help your business with now only SEO but also research for advertising.

Cons

The cost can be high and a lot of features cost extra monthly with quite high pricing. If they could charge a bit cheaper for extra then maybe more of them would be used by smaller agencies like my own.

### "Comprehensive and easy to use"

July 18, 2025

5.0

Pros

Semrush has a comprehensive overview of website analytics, easy to navigate and easy to find issues to change.

Cons

Website scores sometimes fluctuate randomly, and maybe more of a search engine issue but pages with similar descriptions are flagged when often unavoidable.

Utilisation régulière de Semrush pour le SEO et l’analyse concurrentielle. Très complet, mais demande un peu de temps pour s’y retrouver au début.

Pros

Outils puissants pour les mots-clés, les audits techniques, le suivi de position et l’analyse de la concurrence. Tout est centralisé et bien structuré.

Cons

Abonnement assez cher, surtout pour les petits budgets. Beaucoup d’infos à digérer, ce qui peut être déroutant pour les débutants.

5.0

Pros

The Site Audit and Position Tracking tools are amazing for quick facts on your site. The Keyword Magic Tool is super helpful for deep research on keywords/queries.

### "Best for SEO"

March 12, 2025

Semrush has helped my SEO so much making it easy to rank for pages, however it has been slightly difficult to navigate and understand

Pros

Semrush offers so much insight into domains and SEO making ranking for keywords much easier as I can actually see what’s going on more clearly!

Cons

Semrush’s naming techniques for its features are so confusing and it can often be difficult to find the right tool in the software.

Semrush is the largest SEO tool available - quite useful if you've got the budget

Pros

I particularly liked the ease with which you can do competitive analysis. Semrush turned out to be a good option for that.

March 2, 2025

Overall it was good, we could have done with getting more out of it for the amount that we paid.

Pros

Easy to use and the analytics side of it was also good.

Cons

The expense. We used it mainly for social media scheduling and it was expensive for that.

February 10, 2025

4.0

Overall, it's been a positive experience. I use it alongside ahrefs, but I trust ahrefs' estimates more.

Pros

I love the interface. It feels much more user-friendly compared to ahrefs.

Cons

The site audit isn't as good as ahrefs'.

### "Great toolbox for SEO practitioners."

February 18, 2025

4.0

SEMRush has a great set of tools for SEO, keyword rank monitoring, and competitor research. I think that it's become a little too pricey for what it offers, though.

Pros

Useful reports for SEO and competitor research.

Cons

Subscription cost is very expensive for what you get.

### "Semrush software Review."

December 8, 2024

5.0

Its the tool I need on my marketing and blogging business, because it has most of the features I need in one software, from offering insights into search volume, keyword difficulty, trends, cost per click, and others.

Pros

I liked the keyword magic tool, it provides an extensive database of keywords, offering insights into search volume, keyword difficulty, trends, cost per click, and more.

Cons

Its not that easy to use when you are just starting with it, with so many tools and data available, it might be hard to know where to start or how to use everything effectively. other thing is cost can be high for small businesses and individuals.

### "Attention : prélévements bancaires sauvages et non règlementaires"

December 14, 2024

2.0

Attention : Semrush vient se servir sur votre compte bancaire trop facilement. Les éléments interactifs sont mal nommés de tel sorte que le moindre clic peut vous couter cher (999 dollars). Aucune demande de validation d'action ou d'autorisation de prélèvement.. Les demandes de remboursement restent sans réponse. Evidement le lien service client ne fonctionne pas (il faut soustraire des \*/ de l'URL, ce qui laisse penser à des valeurs d'entreprise pas très bienveillantes. Après quelques recherches sur le web, nous ne sommes pas des cas isolés. De de fait, cela annule tout l'interret financier de SEMRUSH. Cet avis sera corrigé quand nous aurons des nouvelles du service remboursement qui reste pour le moment muet.

Pros

Outil complexe mais efficace si on y passe du temps.

Cons

Politique financiere & bancaire non bienveillante
