It's in depth, robust, and full of actionable metrics. They do a good job of supporting their user community. Don't be fooled by the "SEM" in the title. While it does have a seamless interafce to AdWords data this tool goes well beyond SEM and into on-page, technical, and content assestment.

I just wish the was economical plan for those of us with really young websites. Pros The information SEM provides is top notch. They really give you the real stuff about your website and its performance Cons The free version just doesn't provide much info and the paid version is incredibly expensive. Most of what the paid version does you can find for free other places if you want to use multiple services. The sites that need this the most are newere sites and those are the same sites that really can't afford it. Review Source HH Horst H. CEO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Kreditkartensperrung wegen Semrush" January 24, 2024 2.0 Ich hatte am \[sensibler Inhalt ausgeblendet\] ein Probeabo bei gebucht. Trotzdem wurde mir bereits am \[sensibler Inhalt ausgeblendet\] der Betrag von ca. 250$ über meine Kreditkarte abgebucht. Heute erhielt ich die Nachricht, dass meine Kreditkarte am \[sensibler Inhalt ausgeblendet\] gesperrt wurde. Der Grund war die Belastung meiner Karte durch Ihre Firma Semrush! Anscheinend ist der Kreditkartenbank Semrush bereits als unseriöses Unternehmen bekannt. Meine Kreditkarte ist seitdem ungültig. Es erschien mir schon recht fragwürdig, dass 4 Tage nach meinem Probeabo Geld von meinem Konto eingezogen wurde. Die Probezeit sollte mindestens 1 Woche dauern. Ich fordere Semrush auf, umgehend den Betrag von 249,99 $ auf mein Konto zurückzuüberweisen. Es ist nicht erforderlich, hierfür eine Wartezeit von 30 Tagen verstreichen zu lassen (wie Semrush es angekündigt hat). Um rechtliche Schritte gegen Semrush zurückzuhalten, erwarte ich unverzüglich eine Stellungnahme zum Sachverhalt. Pros nichts , viel zu kompliziert und unübersichtlich Cons Buchen trotz Probeabonnement nach 4 Tagen den vollen Betrag vom Konto ab Review Source Response from Semrush January 25, 2024 Hi there, it usually happens if the card was used for the free trial previously, as mentioned here: https://social.semrush.com/3vYv4Zu Sorry to hear your card was blocked. Could you please reach out to our Customer Support team so they could assist you with the refund? https://social.semrush.com/48KK3oJ Thanks.

Cons As much as it's great for it to have so much available, maybe it's a little too much? There's so much that the platform does that it's slightly overwhelming and I don't know if I'll even use all it has to offer. Also, it's great that they have a social media post feature, it could use some work. It could be a lot better. So much so that I don't really use that feature anymore. They also have a marketing calendar feature which is nice but it also isn't great and I find it easier to keep track of my things in Trello. Review Source PW Penny W.

Head of Content Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SEMRush is SEO service that is hard to trust" January 17, 2022 2.0 has wasted inordinate amounts of my team's time by flagging so-called critical issues that don't exist or for which there isn't a clear path of remediation. Pros has a nicely designed dashboard, but the underlying data does not appear to be reliable. Cons is hard to trust. The software has identified critical errors that are nonexistent (for example, 4xxx errors that are not errors). The more I use the product the more disconnected it feels the search engines it it was created to optimize. Review Source Response from Semrush January 24, 2022 Hi Elise!
