"Great for tracking, auditing and reporting"
What do you like best about Semrush?

The number of features you can use against one project, so from one place you can audit, track keywords and check links. The disavow feature is really handy for finding toxic links and putting them straight into a file for you

What do you dislike about Semrush?

I've found that the reporting section can be quite glitchy at times, I have lost whole reports that I've been working on in the past - sometimes the admin team are able to retrive them but not always

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wider keyword research and competitor analysis abilities, automating ranking reports to save the SEO team time

What do you dislike about Semrush?

Not as useful as ahrefs, thats why you dont buy it in general.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

Knowing your competition better, knowing what business to start and its potential

"best in class"
What do you like best about Semrush?

SEM Rush is very complete and inexpensive. It allows us to check for SEO bugs, our visibility vs competitors, the performance of our social networks, of our content, etc.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

I wish it didn't force us to choose our competitors and instead it showed us our true competitors for each keyword group

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving SEO bugs and analysing visibility vs the competitions

"Ease of Analyzing Keywords"
What do you like best about Semrush?

SEMrush is an easy way to find the relevant keywords for our website and check the overview of rankings in a single glance. It helps us in detecting the keyword difficulty and makes us incompetent with a competitive analysis of different websites.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

It is an expensive tool that only allows one user per subscription which makes it even more costly since the free version is for limited span. However, it is worth the money.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

We build our content marketing strategy with the help of this tool. Our SEO team is closely analyzing keywords that are important for our business. It helps us in detecting the backlinks that are generated. I really like the on-page grader tool that helps me compare the page rank with top 10 ranking pages. The comprehensive competitive research is a feature that I love the most as it let me stay ahead of the SEO strategies.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

I wish it was not so expensive to use but the benefits outweigh the cost by a long shot.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are understanding the placement we have on the virtual web. We are able to see what is working on social media and what is not on one platform.

"Does what it needs to do and vital tool to our business "
What do you like best about Semrush?

Sem rush has a great range of tools from site audit tool to back link analysis and the bread and butter ranking reports that we virtually live off, we should be using more of the other tools but not got time in the day to currently focus on them.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

There is not really anything to dislike the tools are very easy to use and plenty of them to give you a great overview of a website and social media presence

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provides us with a good clear picture of clients websites and which way we should be focusing our time to improve the websites

"Does everything you would ever need"
What do you like best about Semrush?

The product has so much data which is then applied in so many ways. It goes far beyond the capabilities of many other SEO tools that solely check rankings.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

The organic research historical data isn't on my plan, but I only manage one site so there is no viable reason to extend my plan.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

Daily ranking data is a god send, but also the personal alerts from Sensor allow me to spot damaging algorithm updates straight away. Even if I'm snowed under with work this means I can still be on the ball to the important stuff.

"SEMRush is the best thing that could happen to our business"
What do you like best about Semrush?

SEMRush has been a great tool for accelerating our marketing efforts. We have used it for creating a content strategy that would enable us to generate more organic traffic, more leads, and consequently more business.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

In the beginning, I didn't know how to use it, I purchased the tool 2 years prior I actually started to learn how to use it. It could be a bit more hands-on but looks like the tool is improving continuously.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can constantly monitor our SEO efforts and we immediately know what's working and what's not. Based on that, we can make changes to our SEO and content marketing strategy.

"My SEO for many years"
What do you like best about Semrush?

It allows me to analyse clients' websites from a technical perspective, to research keywords, to verify their content optimisation for specific keywords, keeping them all monitored and tracked.

It's not very cheap, but it's worth it! They also recently changed the Keyword reports, making them a bit harder to be printed as PDFs to be shown to clients.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me prepare customised reports in a very detailed way and short time.

"SEMRush allows us to quickly and easily monitor, manage and report key metrics from our website."
What do you like best about Semrush?

The automated reports with templates. We can "set it and forget it" for basic analytics.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

There is nothing that I dislike about SEMRush.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

More than anything, SEMRush helps us save time. The SEO dashboard allows us to view all our analytics at a glance without the need to log into multiple tools, and the automated reporting feature with template lets us deliver attractive, robust reports in a fraction of the time that we used to spend on this task.

"SEMRush is everything you need, you just need to know where to look"
What do you like best about Semrush?

SEMRush allows me to monitor SEO aspects of my clients sites as well as get insights on potential new clients. Its a very robust platform with some amazing insights and tools to help increase and improve SEO. With our joint agencies using the same platform, we can link and share projects and updates between two paid subscription logins easily and without a hitch.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

The interface can be a bit confusing and overwhelming for new users, but the potential for great insights is only a few clicks away. There isnt a lot of tools for Google Adds, and a reporting aspect of the site would be really great to have, but they currently dont offer the ability to link other platforms such as Google into their system.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

SEMRush helps from the first aspects of onboarding a client to the creation of a finely-tuned ad campaign and ongoing keyword tracking and ranking. I can give a client a full site report or a competitive research report from their automated reporting branded with my agency. I have not found any other platform that have the tools available in SEMRush, and I cant imagine running an agency without a great platform like them. I can connect with different client son different aspects of their business, whether its SEO, site audits, position tracking or finding new keywords to run in a campaign, everything woks seamlessly within the login.

"Total package for beginners and advanced marketers"
What do you like best about Semrush?

There's so many stats and figures to play with. My favourite is the ranking section, seeing my keywords rank improve is very satisfying. Everyday I find something new to report on or monitor. The interface is pretty good, there's a lot of information to show and on the whole is presented really well. There's new things being added all of the time. The events/games that come through on email are engaging and innovative.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

The only thing I'm a little disappointed at is the academy. The content and layout is great but the delivery of the information ranges from excellent (SEO) to unbearable (PPC). The guy is reading from an auto cue badly and make it difficult to follow. I'm clutching at straws here though.

What problems is Semrush solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do all marketing in house with a very small team. Having social and ranking tools in the same place is essential for us. We've managed to go from not ranking anywhere for anything to hitting that number one spot for a few keywords.
