Medallia Digital Experience Analytics vs. Semrush

If you are seeking to gain insight on the user journey on your website, in various areas, Decibel is perfect for this situation. For example, if you are trying to understand form dropout, Decibel allows you to see what form field the majority of the dropoffs occur. You can then take action based on these insights.

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.

• Heat mapping provides a great understanding of UI pain points/bugs
• Integration with analytics tools (we use Adobe) brings in analytics analysis as well
• Helps to understand the user journey and where dropoff is occurring

• 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

• Being able to create groups of segments would be useful.
• The interface for selecting page types needs more options, it can be difficult to use if you have lots of similar pages.
• Would be good if top level stats were presented in different ways, or in a more visual way (ie pie charts, graphs).
• Generating reports - it would be nice if I could export charts and graphs instead of just CSV files.

• 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

I've heard about some new features that are coming online soon to do with tracking forms. They also offer a lead tracking package that we haven't tried yet, but I'm keen to check out.

I [previously] used Semrush for many years and I cannot find any other tool being so complete and easy to use.

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.

Semrush available when you need it!

SemRush performs well with few errors!

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!

I did it by myself and do not have a comment!

I have used Hotjar before, and in comparison, the functionality and the abilities in Decibel Insights are so much more advanced. The only downside is the price difference between the two tools, but the adaptability and the customer support you get with Decibel Insights definitely make it a more manageable and long-term tool to integrate with your marketing activity.

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.

Semrush is flexible and scalable software which can be deployed across multiple departments and sites as needed.

• One of our most recent tests which were inspired by Decibel Insights calculated an additional 1M in revenue across a year. Something that we probably wouldn't have looked to test if it wasn't for reviewing session replays.
• There are also other tests in the pipeline that we are expecting should have positive impacts, that again has been identified from watching session replays and triggered error messages throughout the journeys.

• Using Semrush on behalf of our clients, we have seen some impressive growth in organic visibility, traffic, conversion and revenue, across multiple industries.
• The site checks available with Semrush have helped us to pitch and sell our services, securing new clients.
