SEMRush: It feels like cheating. It feels like other sites don't have a chance. It feels GOOD.

Overall Satisfaction with Semrush

You know the platform game from Squid Game? The one where glass panels either break and you die, or don't and you live? Well, we use SEMRush as one would use a pair of "cheat glasses" that highlighted the weak panels. Instead of worrying about whether the next step will send our clients rankings to their deaths, or leapfrog us over our competitors, our "cheat glasses" show us exactly what's missing, exactly what steps to take and exactly how to navigate to position 1.
  • Extremely well organized for agencies to navigate between tools and clients
  • Endless array of features, more importantly, constantly updating
  • INTENT! Talk about the ultimate effort optimiser.
  • Their social media. Shame on you other SaaS companies. You cower in the shadows of SEMRush's social media team.
  • There's lots of training documentation and tools, but sometimes hard to find. They should put more focus into marketing their academy.
  • Position Tracker
  • On-page analysis
  • Keyword Magic Tool
  • Content recommendations
  • Our clients think we have an "in" with Google. It's hilarious. I guess they'll know our secret now.
It's a close call, but ultimately SEMRush is the better product and has better service.

Got a website? At least one. Want it to rank well so the right people see your product/service from the right locations at the right time? Planning on achieving this without the help of an SEO tool? Then you're crazy, this isn't 2005, the Big Daddy Update did happen, and so did the following 4,596 updates. You need a tool. Should it be SEMRush? Well, your other option is Ahrefs. It's a close call, but here's why you should choose SEMRush - Because when things don't work perfectly (as happens with all software ever invented since the beginning of time), they are there. Quickly. Like linebackers on a fumble. Plus, they're always listening and building features you need to stay on top.
