Using the site audits and keyword research tools really help me with SEO and content creation.

Pros

does almost everything I need it to do for the SEO on my site.

Cons

There is another tool on the market that can create lists of backlinks based on SERP results. That's really the only feature that I look for outside of .

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Semrush

### "Sophisticated suite of tools "

May 29, 2020

4.0

Using can be difficult at times but I have asked questions or made suggestions using the feedback option and have been responded to very quickly and features I've wished for have (luckily) been implemented. It's good to see a company that understands the needs of their customers and improve on feedback.

Pros

Extensive suite of tools for tracking and analysing SEO performance

Cons

Jumping between the tools and projects is quite fiddly and not as seamless as I would hope for.

### "My SEMrush review"

August 14, 2019

5.0

I spy on my competitors keywords and links and know how best to outrank them using the keyword research tool as this is more than just a keyword research tool.

Pros

I like the in-depth analysis o websites and also the ability to provide competitors details and data and the best possible way to outrank your competitors o search engine result pages.

Cons

I have used SEMruch for a long time now and I can say that the do not have any bad side and of course not anything I did not like but they do have a considerably high pricing.

### "It helps my online business a lot!"

September 16, 2018

5.0

Very pleasant. I love how fast and easy it is.

Pros

is an easy to use SEO/SEM tool. Its user interface is a thing of beauty and it is easy to understand. I mainly use SEMrush to audit my website. Tracking keywords are pretty accurate. It can also detect my backlinks accurately. I can say that they have a large database and powerful crawlers. Pricing is competitive and in my opinion, it is worth it.

Cons

I hope that they update their Keyword Magic Tool regularly so users can find out exactly what are the pages ranking in the SERPs.

February 17, 2021

5.0

Pros

I use this tool daily and in a variety of ways that help me with reporting, analysis, and discovery. It’s like having an intern that’s a tech tool.

Cons

Only that the tool is $199.95/mo. There are several small, free tools that can pull SOME of the data can give you but not all of it.

### "SEMrush opened our eyes!"

February 17, 2021

4.0

Overall, has been great. It's opened our eyes to our site's health and has allowed us to see how we stack up against competitors.

Pros

We love the ability to quickly view our site's performance through the easily accessible dashboards and reports. The position tracker really helps us keep a pulse on the health of our site.

Cons

Some of the reports are inaccurate at times. For example, one day the reports indicate we jumped 90 spots for a specific keyword, and the next it will say we dropped 90 spots again.

March 30, 2020

I am having a lot of success with SEM rush and recommend it.

Pros

This keyword research tool has a lot of things all in one place, which is ideal for an advertiser like me.

Cons

The data is a little messy, but this could be a UX problem. It makes it hard to know what you are looking at.

### "Great for in-depth SEO and SEM keyword research for your website and competitors"

March 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

The team and I use this software on a very regular basis for conducting keyword research at the start of an SEO campaign. Their competitor insights also make it easy to determine how a website stands up to competitors in the search results. They've also recently launched some new features such as the 'keyword magic tool', be good to see how these develop in the future.

Cons

Ability to generate some custom reports for campaigns would be nice. It can also take a while to get your head around using this tool as there's just so much information available, so I would recommend you factor in the time it takes to really get familiar with this in order to get the benefit.

May 29, 2020

has helped us understand where we can improve on our on-page SEO, find new backlinks and rank among our competitors to find new backlinks and domains. It's been an essential tool, especially the SEMrush Academy courses.

Pros

Vast, in-depth analytics and helpful tips on how to get the most from our site.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a little bit tricky remembering where everything is (which tool to find or report etc)

February 17, 2021

Overall a very productive software.

Pros

Cool features like question keywords, competition research etc.

Cons

I would like to access functionality from their guru plan but it is expensive for us at the moment. It would be cool if they let people at least explore a few things.

### "Best for Advanced SEO's with a big budget"

October 28, 2019

4.0

The cost is not worth the ROI usually, unless you're very advanced in your SEO study.

Pros

If you're an advanced SEO and have time to watch a bunch of tutorials, this tool is great. I like the free webinars that does and again, those are free. Before getting started I would check those out.

Cons

It has somethings that Ahrefs doesn't have, but Ahrefs has somethings that doesn't. I would say the UI is getting better, but I still don't prefer it over Ahrefs.

October 9, 2020

5.0

Overall, is an essential tool for me. I need it to help me write the best content I can so it can do well once it's published.

Pros

What I like most about is their google doc extension that helps me incorporate SEO directly into my content as I'm writing.

Cons

Sometimes the dashboard on the site can be a little confusing to navigate at first. Especially if you are new to SEO like I was.

### "Probably my favorite"

December 18, 2019

5.0

I've used SEM Rush a few times during my career - when working at a startup, it was our primary SEO tool for a year. Then again as a freelancer, when I was rebuilding a website for a small business client. It was incredibly helpful for researching competitors and identifying keywords I wanted to focus on. The client was thrilled with the end result and absolutely saw an increase in web traffic, calls, and business.

Pros

The domain analytics are incredibly useful, especially when I was planning a website for a small business freelance client. I like that the tool is a bit of a jack of all trades - that's really what I need in most cases. It has a solid social media component as well.

Cons

It can be hard to justify the cost if I only use it for my freelance work, which is intermittent. When I'm in a rush with keyword research, I did find myself jumping over to a different tool for the down and dirty quick searches.
