### "every digital marketer will find semrush useful"

May 24, 2019

5.0

I use it mostly for keyword research. Then competitors analysis. Then link building opportunities. Then for reports. It is easy, reliable, convenient.

Pros

I like the large range of features that they offer. It is very well structured and it is easy to find what you need at any moment. It is unbelievably user-friendly given how complex the tool is.

Cons

It is soooooooo expensive. Really, not suitable for a small startup with a limited budget. They offer a free trial version which has so many limitations it is almost useless.

### "SEMrush is my favorite SEO platform to use daily"

February 14, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with has been unforgettable. I remember when I first heard about it many years ago and haven't put it down since. The alerts always keep you in the loop when it comes to your site health and their reports have helped me close many clients.

Pros

I love how is packed with features, even from the lite or free account you can get things done. It's so worth the money because you can see how your site progresses against the competition and as well as receive insights and tips to help you.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about . They are always working on the platform and adding features and anticipating every single need of their users.

Reason for choosing Semrush

I chose over the alternatives because they have so many more features for the money and they are always adding more. When it comes to SEM they have more than just SEO tools that help you scale your online marketing.

### "Semrush - Industry leading SEO Tool"

June 11, 2022

5.0

My experience with has been very positive. I use it for keyword research, on-page & technical SEO, and also to perform backlit audits. It has saved me time by focusing my limited resources on the right content to target, as well as identified many technical SEO issues which I had previously overlooked.

Pros

I like the Keyword Magic Tool, which makes keyword research easy. While the results can vary drastically from Ahrefs, I find that is more accurate when it comes to keyword difficulty, and how realistic it is to rank content.

Cons

The price. While there is a 7-day free trial (unlike Ahrefs), the cheapest option is still quite expensive for new businesses or bloggers. There is also a learning curve when first using the software, as there are so many different tools and reports (of which a large percentage I never use).

's Keyword Research feature is a powerhouse of insights that saves a lot of time. Its keyword suggestions make it an essential tool for anyone who is serious about success in digital marketing.

Pros

I use this tool mainly for keyword research. This is the best tool that I have found. The keywords suggestions I am getting are the best. It helped me a lot to increase my client's page ranking.

Cons

### "Excellent SEO software "

October 22, 2020

5.0

I could spend all day in the software, and now that I have it, I couldn't work without it.

Pros

My favorite products within the software include keyword gap analysis, keyword magic tool, comeptitor analysis as well a position tracking.

Cons

It's only as good as what you put in. I wish the heatmap for listing management was included in the Guru package, or the packages were more customizable as I don't use half the features in my package but would like to add other extras that are more relevant to my scope of work.

April 26, 2018

5.0

Accurate data to develop actionable SEO strategy.

Pros

I found SEM Rush provided a great amount of actionable reliable data that was available on demand, that allowed me to confidently make data-driven decisions in regards to SEO strategy. The Audits provided a solid guidance for highlighting errors and optimizing sites.

Cons

Sometimes data restrictions could be somewhat limiting for larger enterprise level sites and given the amount of competition in this space, the pricing is a little high.

February 22, 2023

Pros

is a complete seo toolset for the marketers. I love its seamless integration with GSC and GA. The SEO auditor, keyword research, and content optimizer tools are also pretty helpful. Overall, it contains everything an SEO person needs.

Cons

The keyword rank tracking tool does not work as expected. Sometimes, it misses the data while the other times, it just displays wrong rank of the keyword.

### "A must-have tool for digital marketing agencies! "

February 17, 2020

5.0

The best online visibility and analytics tool on the market!

Pros

The breadth of offerings that this software offers is unmatched in this industry. We use this every day in our agency and it provides so much value. As an SEO practitioner, I generally use the site audit tool and the keyword overview tool. Using these tools provides so much insight into our clients sites and how well they are performing. It is also very helpful at tracking the success of our various SEO initiatives. I can't imagine not using this tool!

Cons

The one thing I like least about is the limit on the amount of keywords we can track without having to pay an extra fee. Especially considering that tracking one keyword on multiple devices counts as multiple keywords tracked.

### "The Best SEO & Digital Marketing Intelligence Software"

January 18, 2019

4.0

is resolving me the problem to analyse sites' competitors of my clients, especially their backlink profiles. In addition, it helps me to better find new backlink opportunities, improving my evaluations.

Pros

I like the possibility to add my projects and tracking constantly every single aspect of their visibility, such as backlink audit and related opportunities, Position Tracking and Site audit. I also like the SEO Content Template, I used everytime I want to write new contents for my projects.

Cons

Some of the tips gived from the software to the projects, especially from the Site Audit, would have to improve to better understand what kind of interventions should I do and what instead don't . I addition I would like to see the entire platform translated in my language - and the prices of the software a little bit low :)

### "Amazing for advertising professionals "

April 1, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with was really great and I made the best of it while using it! I also tried similar tools before, but Semrush is definitely a favorite as a result of its complex capabilities.

Pros

What I love the most about this software is that it allows you to compare how your website performs against competitors as well as the option to see backlinks that are no longer active.

Cons

I would say it's a very pricy tool if you want access to multiple sections such as the competitive intelligence tools. However, if I would build my company, I would definitely use it as the prices are negotiable depending on the number of users.

### "My favorite tool for competitor Analysis"

October 1, 2022

5.0

Have been using it for SEO Analysis & Competitor analysis. And, so far, it has been a good experience using .

Pros

My favorite thing about is that you can track what your competitors are doing in Paid Adversiting asepct Including things like you can actually see what AD Copies that are using for ADWords Campaigns. Other things I like would be that you can do a site Audit, check the backlinks (even for competitors), so you have kind of edge over the competitors.

Cons

It is slightly on expensive side but worth the investment.

I really appreciate the customer service, constant innovation in the availability of new tools, and ways to make my everyday work easier with tips/tricks, tools, and resources! I am a very happy customer, and I hope to be for years to come.

Pros

Live content checks, actionable page-by-page analyses, customizable reports, competitor research

Cons

It seems like there are a decent amount of issues with automated reports and the dashboard going down. A few things have changed (widgets on reports, for example), without a notice to users, causing me to find these changes out on my own and have to figure out how to work around them or change something in my account

July 10, 2022

5.0

Overall experience is great. Been using it for last 6 months to find low competition keywords for my blog and landing pages. Results are reliable and helped me rank on google. Never faced any glitch or trouble while using it. Support is fast and efficient too. It’s definitely the best tool for keyword research out there.

Pros

I use to find out keyword search volume, related keywords and keyword difficulty. It does a great job for me. I consider semrush results more reliable than any other tool.

Cons

It’s not so user friendly to access from mobile devices.

### "Robust functionality, helps us see the full picture"

October 12, 2020

5.0

We're able to make more informed decisions with , and we're getting a more full picture of the performance of our websites because of the tools available to us within the platform.

Pros

As a company with multiple websites, it's helpful to be able to create projects for each site within and track position separately. It's great to be able to crawl for issues within the tool as well. Reporting is easy and robust, and we haven't even fully exploited its functionality in the year since we deployed. I love the categorization of the Keyword Magic tool - I was a Google Keyword Planner enthusiast, but I think I'm a convert!

Cons

It can be hard to know whose data to trust when data conflicts with other tools (mostly on MSV). You can't tie a page to a particular keyword to track ranking. SEMrush decides which page to tie based on which one is ranking best - which does make sense, but it complicates things a bit for us.

### "My favourite SEO tool"

June 29, 2021

5.0

is my single favourite SEO tool and I use it with every single company I work with. It's great for monitoring rankings and can help inspire new content. I recommend Semrush to anyone who wants to understand the SEO health and wellness of their site.

Pros

provides invaluable insight into my company's website and our competitors' websites. It's also one of the few tools I've used that does a good job of monitoring rankings and letting us know where we're slipping or rising. I also use the SEO Audit tool on an ongoing basis to monitor our site and see the impact of any changes we make.

Cons

is great for businesses but I find the price point is way too high for smaller "mom and pop shop" businesses, especially those that are new to SEO. Semrush is also feature-dense so it can be hard to get a sense of what matters and what is just filler.

Pros

I've used over 5 other SEO solutions, and dominates the market when it comes to intuitiveness, navigation, and just an overall user-friendly experience. Other solutions made us cross-eyed and confused, whereas SEMRush presents all of the information in a easy-to-digest and understand manner.
