"Sehm-rush" or "Ess EE Em Rush" - either way, it gets the job done!
Overall Satisfaction with Semrush
In this role, I used Semrush for keyword research to help determine Article topics for the editorial team Headers, title tags, meta data, and body copy for "core" informational landing pages on the site Keyword-rich templated title tags and headers for e-commerce pages I also used it to track and report on rankings for high-value keywords and those we selected/incorporated. Additionally, I used it to track our competitors' rankings for those same keywords. I also used it for higher-level industry research to get a better idea of the competitive landscape. Occasionally I used the platform to look at site health metrics and other technical data, but not on a super consistent basis.
Pros
- 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
- The auto-generated reports don't get nearly as specific with drilled-down info as I would like. It seems the options are broad but shallow. Especially compared to how good some of the visuals and tables are in-app.
- Some of the views/research features (like Organic Research/Keyword Gap) are a little redundant in my opinion.
- I wish keywords for Position Tracking weren't so expensive
- Some of the keyword data from Google - like volume - is slow to update, so you may be seeing data that is weeks old, which in certain scenarios can be a hindrance.
- Keyword research
- Competitor reporting
- Keyword position tracking
- Got up to 50k monthly click-throughs to site
- Ranked #1 for a keyword stakeholders had particular interest in
Honestly, Semrush is the only product like it that I've used extensively. Although I have used Moz free version before and didn't love it.
