The tool is just awesome. It's a must have tool for all digital marketing / SEO professionals. I love the depth of information shown in various easy-to-understand dashboards. Keyword tracking and competitor tracking have been the most valuable features to me.

### "Great software - too complex for everyday useres"

November 9, 2023

4.0

Pros

It has lots of information but you need to upgrade to use most of it.

Cons

It's very complex and it seemed geared more to seo professionals than small business owners who wanted to improve their own seo. Maybe that's their target market but with all the reviews online it seemed like it would be a great software for me to learn to use on my own.

### "SEMrush - Great"

October 16, 2019

5.0

SEMrush is a great paid tool overall however it's trial period could have been longer. Nonetheless, the money invested is well-worth.

Pros

SEMrush is a great tool for all marketing and SEM needs which some of the other tools out in the market have lapsed considerably.

Cons

While SEMrush is a great tool to have, the trial period is often too short for one to fully realize its potential and benefits.

### "The swiss army knife of SEO/SEM tools"

November 26, 2019

5.0

A few of us set up multiple clients in just an hour or two and within a week or two were finding insights and value in the product.

Pros

SEMrush combines so many search engine tools together and does them all in a very straightforward manner.

Cons

I haven't yet found anything I dislike. I could always do with better-looking reports, but data doesn't have to be pretty.

January 16, 2019

5.0

It's a founding stone to have a healthy site

Pros

The fact that guides me to improvements through a comprehensive audit tool (and it can iterate)

Cons

It takes some time to get used to it. Not that intuitive at first glance. But after some days, you can catch up.

This tool has helped us in streamlining our seo efforts and gain some high quality backlinks and improve the onpage seo of our website

Pros

We have been using Semrush for last six months and using this tool we have been able to get sneak peak of what our competitors are doing best. From where they are getting backlinks and on which keywords they are ranking up then us. And we have got some high quality backlinks using this technique and also wrote some informative pieces on our blog. Moreover, this tool helps in improving the onpage issues we can run seo audit compaigns and improve our onpage issues

Cons

There is nothing significant problem that i faced in this tool. However, finding some features are quite tough in this tool sometimes

January 17, 2022

5.0

Semrush has allowed us to triple the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns!

Pros

The detail in the reports that can allow you to extrapolate data which can instantly be used in your business

Cons

It is a high cost for a small business, if there could be a 50$ a month version I think you would get more small businesses.

### "Incredibly in-depth Webite Data"

September 22, 2020

5.0

Very good too, despite the high price tag, it is worth the cost.

Pros

There is no website analysis tool that matches the value of SEM Rush. It's very easy to use and give you and incredible amount of information on your website, or your competitors.

Cons

Easily the biggest downside to this software is the price. It is not a tool that most smal businesses or startup website designers can afford.

### "An analysis of an incredible tool"

April 13, 2021

5.0

Overall, Semrush is a solid search engine and marketing optimization tool. It provides all the essential data you need for a successful SEO project.

Pros

I can create customized market lists for our competitors. Showing me the demographics of our competitors' audience. Being a very useful help. It allows the multidisciplinary team to work coherently on projects, which we cannot achieve with other tools.

Cons

For now my use of the tool is ok. Perhaps the value, for some

January 31, 2022

Pros

SEMrush offers plenty of features for the marketing team. The UX is incredible compared to other tools.

Cons

The price is quite high. Every feature increases the price, so it's hard to get the most out of it.

### "Use Semrush and save thousands of dollars versus BrightEdge"

February 17, 2021

5.0

NA

Pros

SEMrush is easy to deploy, easy to use, has great customer service and provides ongoing training. What more could you want?

Cons

There's nothing I don't like about SEMrush. It's great.

Alternatives considered

[BrightEdge](https://www.capterra.com/p/124928/BrightEdge/)

Reason for choosing Semrush

Price to value. Also BrightEdge software was so much more complicated, we felt as a business we would need a greater level of resources to support the hugely incremental investment.

### "Great SEO Tool"

December 12, 2019

5.0

We are trying out some new initiatives which involve SEO and wanted to use some tools beyond what yoast offers

Pros

Its really good for planning content, evaluating backlinks, and even deciding on length of certain articles for SEO purposes

Cons

I have heard that MarketMuse is by far the best but it is much more expensive and I have not tried it yet. Regardless, SEMRUsh does the job

### "A wonderful way to expand your keyword research and do some competitor analysis with ease."

April 21, 2018

4.0

Great option for competitor analysis and finding more keywords than with the average keyword planning.

Pros

SEMRush has been in use for over two years now; as a competitor analysis tool, it has helped me in discovering way more possibilities than I thought I could find without it. Using the Keyword Planner was nice, but finding complementary research and keywords helped in building better SEO for myself and for my clients.

Cons

There is fierce competition for SEMrush; there's MoZ, there's ZEFO (with the latter being much cheaper in the long run), and SEMRush wouldn't necessarily become my first choice.

November 15, 2023

5.0

Globalement une très bonne et fluide expérience sur cet outil qui me semble le meilleur pour les PME/TPE qui n'ont pas des masses budgétaires à consacrer au marketing.

Pros

Les fonctionnalités de recherche et de comparaison des mots clés.

Cons

La version d'essai gratuite limite assez vite les fonctionnalités de recherche de mots clés.

### "Do you know where your customers are leaving?"

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

If you don't know where your customers are leaving and why your engagements and sales are dropping is time for semrush. After signing up I did discover where my customer left and why they did not come back. I did found out that I had bad links and low posts on social media, also hired a new seo agency, much better job.

Cons

Nothing to say against, great job, maybe they should offer services of SEO, i will be the first customer

Pros

The diversity of tools is great. The Academy is fantastic. I used the SEO Writing Assistant every day to craft significantly better content.

Pros

We use SEMrush on a daily basis to analyse competitor activity. We use the PLA research functionality to assess the competition on Google Shopping.

### "Best tool for Content marketing"

July 1, 2021

5.0

Overall, Semrush is good for research purpose

Pros

One of the best thing I liked nost about Semrush is there data and accuracy. There search volume of keywords is quite equal to search volume offered by Google Keyword planner. Accuracy is the top reason why i used it.

Cons

I think Semrush is quite slow. When I audit my website having more than 10k+ pages it takes much times as compared to other tool.
