The only thing I dislike is that they teamed up with Yext for the localized directories.

"Love it"
What do you like best about Semrush?

SEM Rush is a vital tool - its my first port of call in the morning for checking out rankings and identifying new keywords for Google Ads or research for new business

What do you dislike about Semrush?

The interface is a little 'janky' and there are often bugs or issues with the data.

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

Keyword research, and rank tracking are solved. Identifying new keywords is very valuble and better than Google Ads tool.

"Great tool for newbies, Amazing machine for professionals!"
What do you like best about Semrush?

There's too much that I like, but of them, is my 'daily': I get daily reports that I've customized to show me when I've gained or lost new keywords (among other things), but this lets me quickly know where I need to optimize pages.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

There's almost TOO much to take in; Information overkill -- Yeah, it's SUPER granular if you want it to be, but it also takes a while to get into it to use it at that level. SUPER big agencies will love this. Mom and pop's wanting to get basic information with have to close their eyes to most of it.

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

I've been able to monitor my competition, and get a better idea of what separates them (the leaders) from us (the up-and-comers). I can see how they've used AdWords -- and what's worked for them and what's not. This lets me learn from their mistakes. I've also been able to track down and disavow what I can only consider purposly-placed 'bad' backlinks by competitors trying to lower my site's credibililty.

ability to discover content performance by site enables us to track return on content spend and content type. Additionally Featured Snippet tracking allows us to earn additional budget for sites. Competitor intelligence allows our team the ability to find content opportunities.

"Great SEO software for intermediate and advanced SEOs"
What do you like best about Semrush?

The too lset available offers a full suite of tools for all levels of SEOs. They also offer some great training webinar to learn how to use the tools correctly.

What do you dislike about Semrush?

What do you dislike about Semrush?

Some of the reporting features could be improved. I found that Swydo or Report Garden had much more flexibility. That said, those services are uni-taskers, and it's no surprise they excel.

Technical and on-page SEO and local SEO are the bulk of our core services. Ranking and site optimization are all improved with the tools offered by SEMrush.
