Overall Satisfaction with SimilarWeb PRO

We use SimilarWeb for the following cases:
- Personally, for me, SimilarWeb is a magnifying glass I look at the web through. Whenever I want to check the provider of services, or to check the quality of news media with a catchy news title, or I need to figure out can we work with new customer or not, I always check them with SimilarWeb. It helps me to understand, can I trust this company or not.

- in PRNEWS.IO we use SimilarWeb as a provider ща reliable data on the sources of traffic of the websites we sell ads on. We get this data via API.
  • analyzes the traffic sources of the websites
  • gives ideas for content marketing
  • help to get info on competitors
  • more granulated data on visitors of the exact pages
  • some regions' data are more reliable then others
  • Without it we couldn't sell our services, PR and marketing specialists like to analyze visitors data before they buy ads
Ahrefs and Semrush mostly analyze data from search engines, but SimilarWeb shows data from other sources, too (direct, email and paid traffic).

Ahrefs is more powerful with analyzing the exact pages and their performance on Google.

SimilarWeb browser plugin is free, that is why when we provide data by SimilarWeb, our users can check it themselves without subscribing to other services.

1. In the world of dominating fake news, SimilarWeb is a must have instrument to check the news sources. If you think that news is not trustable, check the website with SimilarWeb, you need to understand where the readers of the website come from. If most of them come from search or are paid - it can be a sign of not trustable source.

2. When you enter new regional market to sell your product, check the local competitors with SimilarWeb. Study their traffic sources, websites they promote on. But some regions data like China can be improved.
