Best in class SEO tools

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: We've used it for the better part of a decade and it has consistently got better over that time. The latest Ai and local rank features have been awesome.

Pros:

SEMr has a set of tools that we use constantly; API integration allows us to make flows that take 20-30 min take just minutes and the keyword and domain research products are top-notch in the space.

Cons:

Historically the way API units were bought/purchased was kind of clunky and required you to reach out to a person; they've since corrected that.

Do you like micro-transactions and predatory billing? SEM RUSH is for you.

1.0 last year

Comments: AWFUL. It's a great product but being nickeled and dimed gets old.

Pros:

It's probably the best engine for research on a host of topics from keywords to competitor traffic. The tools are fantastic and the data is immense. They just put it behind micro-transactions, and trying to generate any report with any level of depth requires their highest tier for $600/M or $7K per year to generate the reports. If you are a small or mid sized business, prepare to either pay the fulll price or be extremely frustrated that every report you want to pull is behind a pay wall. Youll get an error message after spending 30 minutes setting up a report, and they just hope you'll pay through the nose.

Cons:

Do you like the feeling of being farmed for every dollar you have? Do you like mico-transactions and everything being blocked if you aren't in the highest subscription tier? SEM Rush is the micro-transaction and subscription BS model on steriods.

Powerful SEO all-rounder

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I use semrush mostly for it's domain overview and keyword functions. It helps me to quickly assess competitors and potential clients, as well as for researching on-page topics. I'm very happy with my experience with on-page and technical SEO tools, though the off-page tools feel less powerful. I also use the local SEO package, though am considering switching to more custom products elsewhere.

Pros:

All in one tool that gives me a deep understanding of my work

Cons:

A little expensive and the link & on-page suggestions don't feel useful to me.

Alternatives Considered: Ahrefs
