Overall Satisfaction with Semrush

It is used to manage the entire online presence of our sites. From SEO, to content, social media, and competitor research. I especially like how you can sort through competitor keywords and filter results by volume and difficulty. It allows you to target search phrases that others may not have thought of that still drive significant traffic. Another feature I love is the backlink analysis. You'd be surprised to find the different strategies that are used as well as opportunities for your own business. Semrush is an easy-to-use solution that allows small operators to find opportunities to build their brand and online visibility. It helps even the odds vs larger competition in your industry.

Frankly, once I started using Semrush and found very quick success, I had no desire or reason to try others. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I did use some other SEO tools in the past, but it was so long ago I don't even recall the names anymore.

If someone is looking to get traffic to their website Semrush is a no-brainer. Where it is less appropriate is when the user is absolutely clueless about websites or ranking and doesn't know the difference between Google and social media They don't have to be pros or even technical. They just have to understand why a website is important and the fundamentals of driving traffic to that site.
