Pros

Helps with reports of SEO Reports help me somewhat understand what to do next, some are like Chinese arithmetic.

Cons

Sometimes I wish SEO was easier to understand

### "Amazing Product + Support"

October 12, 2020

5.0

Pros

I really enjoy all the features. I can pull competitor research, then add keywords from this in order to begin creating ads or start my creative process.

Cons

The UI could be cleaner. When training new team members on the software, they forget where to find things because the UI is not as clean as it should be.

Pros

You can't run an effective SEO strategy without the extensive data provides. Even free users can get a taste of how effective keyword strategy can benefit their overall marketing plan.

Cons

It would be nice if they offered more guides and tutorials on how to use their vast array of features.

### "Great website analytics tool"

February 16, 2021

5.0

I've used SEM Rush at multiple different companies. I love the product and they are always adding more features to it.

Pros

It has a lot of information and it is organized in a way that you can read the data and put it to use.

Cons

There are a few options and pricing tiers so if you don't have a high enough level you will be limited on what you can run or the number of reports you can run in a time period.

### "Great tool to navigate the competitive world of ppc advertising and search engine optimization"

September 24, 2018

5.0

Helped lower our cpc's on several campaigns and identified keyword opportunities that we had overlooked.

Pros

Helped us develop keyword strategies for our clients in the US where keyword cpcs are very high. The tool is great at identifying opportunities for keyword strategy for both ppc and seo that have been overlooked. It helped us identify our position in the marketplace versus our competitors.

Cons

It can get a little complex to use, but we enjoyed doing the results and research to our clients via their great reports. It adds a second layer of research to craft search engine campaigns.

### "One of the Best SEO Softwares"

December 6, 2016

5.0

I use on almost a daily basis as an SEO professional at an agency. It's keyword research tool is a good competitor to Moz's keyword explorer. The API is super flexible, so you can integrate a lot of the reports into things like Google Sheets. I love the domain vs domain features, where you can get common keyword reports across competitor domains. Another great feature is the SERP Features...feature. It's an invaluable tool to look for opportunities to get instant answers or other rich snippets for my clients.

Pros

Tons of data at your fingertips. Great API.

### "Saved my website"

February 17, 2021

5.0

My experience with has been great, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have taken time to video call and go into detail on which tools would be most helpful for my website and what I want to achieve with Semrush.

Pros

The on page SEO tracker is a life saver, you are able to input your page specific URL's and get a customized list of improvement ideas. Rather than having a huge list of improvements you are able to work page by page so as not to get overwhelmed. The keyword manager has also been a great tool and has helped me not only find keywords but shows me how easily I can rank for that keyword.

Cons

I have yet to find something I don't like.

Reason for choosing Semrush

### "Pay Per Click & Keyword Research on Steroids!"

September 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

has many features but the main ones are built for pay per click advertising, keyword research and SEO optimization. I run an agency for PPC advertising and this is the only tool I use when I want to look up my competition ads, get keywords fast and in large quantities and see how long the ads are running. In just a click you can get from 2000 to 10000 keywords and currently there is no keyword tool that will give you that much volume of keywords in just a second. You can find out the successful ads from your competition and model them for your own. There is also a selection of countries when researching keywords. Overall if you need keywords fast and in volume for your Google Ad campaigns or your SEO optimization projects, this is the tool I suggest.

Cons

If the pricing was lower I would use it every month but for now I am using it only every 3-4 months for only a month. So far we can only select countries when researching but if it had a specific city/location to type in/select like the Google Keyword Tool it would be the perfect tool and the price would be justified.

I've found useful.

Pros

helped me get my site unblacklisted by Google by finding all the backlinks to my website.

Cons

The add-ons can be pricey. One should be able to add users without having to pay extra. It's already over $100 a month which adds up for small sites like mine.

### "SEMrush : the perfect tool for your SEO and social media tracking"

April 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

is really accurate and precise! You have so many tools you can set up to track your website (or others if you are an agency) You have your datas updated everyday and a lot of recommandations to help you optimise your SEO. What i like most about it, it is the tools they provide for help you : templates for SEO redaction, an assistant writing which you can integrate to google docs and many others! More to that, they have a lot of online class and webinars.

Cons

For each website you are tracking, you can setup many tools but for every one of them, the way you connect your website, your competitor, your GA and GSC are different and it is really annoying. Every time i set up an account, i open the website page of which shows where to connect all the tools. It is easy to get confuse between all of them and all the add-on. They should really work on their graphic design too.

The best feature is the keyword search tool which is very good and enables the user to choose keywords suitable for their website.

However, we did our best providing useful information on our blog & launching completely free courses in our Academy. Moreover, every subscriber can take advantage of the 1:1 session with the Customer Support Team, who walks the user through the basics and help him really understand what our tools can do based on his goals.

April 17, 2021

5.0

Just great. The data that I could extract from it was incredibly useful and it allows you to know what content you should privilege and also how your competitors are doing SEO.

Pros

has lots of information about SEO and how to use their software, which is very powerful. I enjoyed a lot to have complete info about keyword search, like having statistics for different countries, knowing related keywords statistics, analyzing competitors rankings and keywords and also having info about competitors Google Ads keywords.

Cons

I didn't continue to use because of the price. For a small business it's on the expensive side, mostly because you don't need to use it everyday.
