“Indispensable tool for SEO optimization”

Overall rating4.0
I've been using SEMRush for the past 3 years, and it's my go-to SEO tool. From improving my content to finding related keywords to help my clients gain top rankings, I use it fairly regularly. Prior to using SEMRush I didn't really know much about SEO, but the SEMRush Academy helped me to be fairly well-versed in both the software and my knowledge of SEO in general. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because it's glitchy and not terribly intuitive with related keywords. Plus the dashboard can get a little confusing when you're trying to find a specific SEMRush function.

“The lifeblood of my company.”

Overall rating5.0
SEMrush continues to add new tools that allow me to differentiate myself in an increasingly competitive market. I can deliver all the same SEO services as other quality providers. But, the magic is in the value-add insights and providing context for my Clients. In addition, I can demonstrate my focus on ROI and future-proofing my Clients business by noting emerging trends and interesting "Search Listening" layers to the story (ahem - reports;-).

Thank you SEMrush for building better tools everyday to make me stand out every day.
