Semrush is an extremely powerful all in one platform for SEO and answer engine optimization. It gives deep visibility into keyword opportunities, search intent, competitive gaps, and content performance. I especially value the keyword research, competitor analysis, and site audit tools, which make it easier to prioritize work that actually moves rankings and traffic. The data is reliable, the interface is well organized, and it integrates smoothly into both strategic planning and day to day execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest downside is the cost, especially for smaller teams or businesses just getting started. Some features also have a learning curve, and it can feel overwhelming at first because there is so much available in the platform. A bit more guidance for new users on which tools matter most by use case would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that Semrush is pretty intuitive. Even today, I've never received an onboarding call, and I was able to jump in from day one and use it. It's pretty self-explanatory, whether you've used SEO before or any other SEO tools. The intuitive design allows you to look at it, learn, and just go right on. Starting with entering your website domain, the system guides you through a smart process of exploring strategies for ideas, backlink suggestions, and provides insights about technical SEO. It actually analyzes your website, talks about user experience, and suggests ways to enhance online user interaction, which is awesome. It also helps increase engagement time and provides content ideas, making it very easy to use. It's like having a personal assistant for your SEO campaigns right in your back pocket.

The speed, sometimes when you get in some of the data, you have to wait. When I'm doing multiple campaigns, sometimes I want this information, like, now. In a perfect world, we would have it very quickly. You put it in as fast as the website can load. You would like to have that information, but, I believe they'll get there someday, but it's not there now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform has made blogging an easy task as compared to some years back. It not only provide just one or two feature but a complete pack or suite of features that can make seo optimization, keyword research, traffic analysis a game of clicks. Also i found the competitive analysis like a cherry on the cake that makes the optimization more strong so that the blog can get a top position in the search results on the search engines. I found it very easy to use as i am using it from past few months, also before joining this platform it takes much time to efficiently manage all the optimization for the blog posts, but now most of the tasks are automated and can be done with just few clicks and copy paste.

Properly using all the features requires time for a beginner so this is not a problem this is just an opinion that providing short easy courses in community can help the beginners to get the knowledge of platform from the experts and also it will also boost the knowledge of current users.

Semrush is an incredibly powerful all-in-one marketing suite that makes SEO and competitor analysis both efficient and enjoyable. As an agency, we particularly appreciate how seamlessly it combines keyword research, content optimization, backlink audits, and reporting in one intuitive interface. The data quality is outstanding, and the Local SEO features — including listing management and visibility tracking — have become essential for our daily operations. Semrush helps us not only deliver measurable results for clients but also identify growth opportunities we would otherwise miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only real downside is that the platform can feel overwhelming for new users due to the sheer number of features. Pricing can also be a bit steep, especially when adding multiple modules or users. However, given the depth and reliability of the data, it’s still a very strong value proposition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the Keyword Magic Tool, thanks to its unmatched database depth, along with the Keyword Gap tool, which helps reveal competitors’ strategies. Together, they turn complex data into clear, actionable insights, making it easier to prioritize high-impact SEO tasks and manage everything efficiently from a single, powerful dashboard to improve search rankings.

What I dislike most is the high cost and the steep learning curve. The interface can be overwhelming for beginners, and a lot of essential features—such as historical data or AI writing—are locked behind expensive add-ons or higher-tier plans. On top of that, the traffic estimates for smaller websites can sometimes be inaccurate, which makes it harder to rely on the data with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most useful feature of semrush according to me is the keyword reseaech tool and the domain overview tool which i use very frequently for my research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While there are features I like and keep coming back to, there are a few things I find really annoying and wish Semrush would fix. One is keyword research: I’d like an extra feature that lets me research more than one keyword at a time for a local or particular location (such as a city) and still get the key metrics for that specific location, like search volume, CPC, intent, and search engine features. Another issue is competitor research: I’m not able to see any sign of ads there, even though I can see them clearly in the Ads Transparency Center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SEMrush is a great SEO analysis and monitoring tool for all business sizes, I have used it in a number of businesses. It is very easy to set and getting up and running, that integrates with a whole host of other analysis tools. I mostly use it for keyword tracking and analysis to drive my content production efforts. Would recommend, I use it pretty much everyday and could not function without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hardly nothing to dislike but it does have so many features and tools that it can sometimes be hard to navigate and understand for new users but after a while it starts to make sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Semrush is how comprehensive it is as an all-in-one SEO and competitive intelligence platform. It provides deep insights into keyword research, competitor strategies, site health, and backlink profiles in a single dashboard. The data is easy to visualize, reports are actionable, and the competitive analysis features make it especially valuable for identifying growth opportunities and improving overall digital marketing performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Semrush is that the platform can feel overwhelming at first due to the sheer number of tools and reports available. Some advanced features and higher data limits are restricted to more expensive plans, and keyword or traffic estimates can occasionally differ from actual performance, requiring validation with other data sources.

Low barrier to entry, very user-friendly and easy to pick up if you've used other data reporting tools before. Easy to add new keywords to track and report on over time and I appreciate the competitive tracking on those keywords for market context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the site health scores are a bit unclear what exactly feeds into the score calculation or what to do about changes in performance. I really like the SERP example links, but they don't always load fully (ie: parts of the SERP are missing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semrush is the ultimate SEO tool, I was using Mangools before and it gave me very few features. Semrush, has so many features both SEO keyword related and with keyword review for GEO, AEO, and SEO. The tool is also very easy to use and they even offer customer support training sessions that I have been able to attend. Semrush has been a tool that immediately I implemented into my business to assist my customers, I use this tool daily. I was also able to integrate it into our systems immediately.
