I like that Semrush is super comprehensive and fairly easy to use for an SEO tool. It has great built-in reporting that automatically updates you on a set schedule rather than needing to check in all of the time. The keyword research tools are great and have been super helpful in identifying and sizing SEO opportunities for our different products. I'd say the simplicity of use is a major plus for me. The ability to track the performance of competitors is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In order to separate performance tracking for multiple subsets of keywords on the same domain, you have to create multiple projects under the same domain which feels a bit redundant and clutters the dashboards a bit. Feels like you should be able to do this under a single project/domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Semrush for research and AI LLM information related to my websites and SEO, and this tool is incredibly valuable. I haven't found a better bang for my buck. Semrush helps me with keyword research and finding drops and increases on my pages and websites. I like seeing the trends and finding opportunities for improvement. My favorite pieces of Semrush are the keyword tracking tools and being able to look up different URLs. I also appreciate being able to review the backlinks for my sites. Semrush really helps me in my day-to-day work and helps improve the overall success of our website. We really wanna make sure that we show up well in search engines, and this definitely helps us. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've chatted with some of their team about report builder tool issues I do pull different reports each month, but I still think there is some improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it’s a one-stop shop. The AI/intelligence features have been a nice touch lately, and they make the overall experience feel more complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI/UX could be improved. A lot of the different tools have similar names and similar overview pages, which makes it difficult for me to tell whether I’m in the right tool or not. In my opinion, the tabbed organization is the right approach, but the naming conventions need to be clearer and more explicit so it’s easier to distinguish between tools at a glance.

I also understand why there can be data gaps between semrush and GA4, and as a marketer that makes sense to me. However, it’s hard to convince a client to pay for semrush when they notice discrepancies and there isn’t a stronger explanation to help them understand what they’re seeing.

I've used SEMrush for years at both small and mid-size companies and it indeed provides the best tools for the best values in terms of SEO tools. I have used others such as Moz, Ahrefs, and more and SEMrush always seems to beat them in features and pricing.

I love they are constantly adding new features and for any issues I've had the customer support team has always gotten back to me promptly and with very detailed answers specific to my problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All of the add-ons. It would be nice for existing subscribers to be able to fully try new features when they are rolled out, without having to pay to upgrade just to see if it's something we would actually use. It would be nice for the API to be more inclusive and also built into existing plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The breadth of data available in one place allows me to monitor website health, evaluate ranking trends, identify technical issues, and provide meaningful strategic guidance to ecommerce clients without jumping between multiple platforms. I appreciate having data integration from GSC and Analytics. The interface and navigation is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature I would like to see is more intelligent cross-report analysis. If a page could be flagged as a top-performing or priority/pillar page it would be nice to receive notifications on performance like technical issues, backlink changes, competitor movements, or anything else (even Google Core Updates) that may have contributed to the change. It would be good for users to understand more than simply being able to identify a problem, and know the root cause. I would also like to see more sophisticated content lifecycle recommendations, particularly for sites that have accumulated years of content. With integrations from GSC and Analytics it would be helpful to determine data thresholds for what content should be refreshed, consolidated, redirected, or removed/retired.

Semrush is an indispensable tool for our SEO and content marketing strategy. It is incredibly easy to use - the learning curve to start using its core tools is virtually non-existent. Semrush is extremely quick in giving us actionable insights into our keyword strategy and helps us identify areas for opportunity allowing us to execute an effective content marketing strategy. Its new AI visibility tools are also very useful in helping us develop our AEO strategy to capture AI search volume. The pricing is quite fair and is well worth it for the value it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there isn’t much to dislike. The only thing is that the AI-generated reporting tool hasn’t quite worked for us yet. Also, there are a few specific features we’d consider using, but they don’t seem to be available on their own—we’d have to upgrade to an advanced plan. We’re just not 100% sure we need everything that comes with the higher-priced plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Semrush is how much information it brings together in one place. It makes it easy to monitor SEO performance, research keywords, analyze competitors, and identify opportunities to improve website visibility. The platform is intuitive, and the reporting tools help turn complex data into actionable insights that support better marketing decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge with Semrush is that the platform has so many features and data points that it can feel overwhelming at times, especially when exploring new tools. However, that breadth of functionality is also one of its strengths, and once you become familiar with the platform, it provides a tremendous amount of valuable insight in one place.

What I like best about Semrush is that it combines keyword research, competitor analysis, site auditing, rank tracking, content research and PPC insights in a single platform. I regularly use Organic Research, Keyword Gap, Advertising Research, Position Tracking and Site Audit to support both SEO and paid media decisions for performance campaigns.

The interface is intuitive considering the amount of data available, and the reports make it easy to identify opportunities quickly. It has saved me countless hours compared to gathering data from multiple tools. I also appreciate the AI-powered recommendations and the ability to benchmark competitors across both organic and paid channels.

From an ROI perspective, Semrush consistently helps uncover growth opportunities that directly influence strategy, making it one of the most valuable tools in my marketing stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is the pricing, particularly for smaller businesses or teams. While the platform delivers strong value, some advanced features and data limits can become expensive as your usage grows.

There is also a learning curve due to the breadth of tools available. New users may feel overwhelmed initially, even though the onboarding resources and knowledge base are helpful. Occasionally, some reports can take a little longer to load when working with larger datasets, and I'd like to see even deeper integrations with other marketing and analytics platforms.

That said, most of these drawbacks are outweighed by the depth of insights and functionality the platform provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every tool within SEMRush has a clear goal and is well designed. It's an integrated tool that does a lot and is truely helpful, both for SEO and AEO, the main reason we use it. It's also easy to integrate the platform to company's Google tools. I use SEMRush everyday, whether it's to check performances, for keyword research or for ideas for content. I also use the SEO Content Template to start a content brief with the help of their AI suggestions.

I also use a lot SEMRush Site Audit section to check if we have new errors on our websites and it's really reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of new features but most of them are added fees to our current billing. The cost of the platform is increasing year after year. Also, in the past, I had a customer support manager dedicated to our account, but it's not the case anymore. That is something I would like to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SEMrush has become an essential part of my daily workflow. I particularly like the technical SEO audit tool — it makes it easy to identify and prioritize site issues at a glance. The Backlink Audit report is also incredibly useful for spotting and disavowing toxic links before they cause ranking problems. On top of that, the suite of additional tools (keyword research, position tracking, competitor analysis) gives you everything you need in one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is the pricing. As an agency, I'd love to use SEMrush across more client projects, but the cost makes it difficult to scale. More flexible or affordable multi-client plans would make it a much easier sell for smaller agencies managing several accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
