    Semrush
    This is suited to plan for keywords in a single market, but it struggles when you need to consolidate several markets. It is well-suited to discover new keywords directly related to the ones being used currently to expand the content the company is creating to get better results.

    Semrush
    • Great visuals for keyword position tracking, love that you can see the page that is ranking
    • Enjoyed the auto-generated reporting feature (specifically in the context of keyword position tracking)
    • Shows many different and useful views for competitive research
    • Great templated keyword research tools for those who are not as hands-on with SEO
    • I LOVE the Keyword Magic Tool for honing in on longtail, high-opportunity keywords

    Cons

    No answers on this topic
    Semrush
    • Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating
    • Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT)
    • Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly

    The interface is a little less intuitive than it could be. The data is often available but filtering and manipulating the data can be a little difficult at times. Expanded comparisons would be helpful since most of the time seeing more than a few competitors at a time allows for a better sense of how to forecast.

    I'm in a FB group for Semrush paid users and it amazing! They are fast to respond, take suggestions and help with questions. I have not felt alone in using this product at all. Highly recommend their support team. When I had an issue I can jump into the group and they will help get me the right person to help or even tag their programmers to look at something that is going on. Love the group!

    We have used both Ahrefs and Semrush extensively at our agency and Semrush remains the tool of choice. We find that Semrush has the largest selection of tools & features to use, with the highest accuracy, and provides top-tier analysis recommendations. It's really is the ultimate all-in-one tool when comparing other performance measurement tools in the digital marketing space.

    ScreenShots

    CrunchJunkie Screenshots

    Screenshot of AI Visibility overview for one brand. It shows how often the brand is named across the tracked AI engines (here 35.6% of 2,848 answers, with the margin of error), its average position and sentiment, how often its own pages are retrieved and cited, whether AI crawlers can reach the site, and the mention rate for each tracked prompt. Every percentage carries its sample size.Screenshot of A white-label client report. The agency's own name and logo head the report, and each AI-visibility metric (visibility, share of voice, sentiment, average position, mentions) shows its change against the previous period and the number of AI answers it is based on. The same report can also carry Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and Search Console widgets.Screenshot of The Signals inbox lists changes that deserve attention, each with its sample size and confidence. In this example: a firewall refusing 13% of AI-crawler requests (465 of 3,515), two statistically significant visibility drops, missing Product schema, and a competitor overtaking on share of voice. Signals can be acknowledged, snoozed, or turned into automated alerts.Screenshot of GEO Audit for a website: an AI-readiness score (93 of 100 here, across 6 pages) with sub-scores for AI crawler access, content accessibility, structured data, technical SEO hygiene and llms.txt. Below it, the fixes are ranked by the points each would add, and the built-in assistant can draft each fix.Screenshot of Brand Perception shows the words AI models use when they describe a brand, here based on 1,952 mentions over 30 days: the term most associated with the brand, the term only it receives, the largest gap against a competitor, and a radar chart comparing its description profile with selected competitors.Screenshot of Citation gap analysis: the domains AI engines cite when they name competitors but not you, ranked by gap score, with how often each domain was cited for competitors and for your brand. It is the working list for outreach and content placement.
