Overall Satisfaction with Semrush

We use Semrush across our whole organization. It offers us a quick way to do keyword research, search competitors, and review domain authority.
  • Identify keyword gaps
  • Identify useful backlink opportunities
  • CPC estimation
  • Better rank tracking
  • Too much data shown - could be more digestible
  • More customizable dashboarding
  • Domain authority
  • Link data
  • Keyword search volumes
  • Ability to track competition
  • Helped us identify content topics that we needed to create articles for.
  • Helps us track overall domain health trends.
seoClarity is a much more robust tool than Semrush (but pricier). If you have strong SEO needs, I recommend going for an enterprise tool. Ahrefs is a good tool in the same price range as Semrush. I prefer Ahrefs' views and usability.

Semrush is helpful for looking up quick stats such as keyword volumes, but it may not be a large enough tool to manage full websites. If you'd like to track rankings for a set of keywords, Semrush is limited.
