What we liked:

Position Tracking & Competitors Analysis

A phenomenal feature of SEMrush is that it lets you keep track of your keywords against your competitors. You can literally monitor the whole marketing strategy of your competitor and stay one step ahead.

Customer Support

The customer service team can easily be reached via chat or email.  They are responsive, and the service is available 24/7. You reach out to SEMrush online, through email, or even talk over the phone with one of their representatives.

Content Marketing Tools

It generates content ideas and topics and tracks your content and also of competitors. You can identify keyword gaps, get kickass on-page SEO ideas, and do everything you need to set up a new blog.

Podcasts

Do you love to listen to audiobooks or podcasts? If yes, SEMrush provides a range of downloadable guides that you can utilize to broaden your skills and knowledge.

What could be improved:

Pricing

You can find a lot cheaper tools as compared to SEMrush. However, if it falls into your budget, you can go with it. For example, despite paying $230 a month, you don’t get API access on the Guru Plan. All pans allow only one user per plan, a major con for marketing agencies.

Traffic Predictions & Keyword Organization

If you are just starting out, SEMrush struggles with traffic predictions for small businesses. Lack of keyword organization and list management also makes it a bad option.

Google Only

SEMrush is only useful if you want to rank on Google. Unlike Ahrefs and other competitors, SEMrush does not provide any data for Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine.

SEMrush Review: Final Notes

Ease of Use (4.4/5)

We will give it 4.4/5 when it comes to ease to use, as the interface and features get intimidating initially for a user. You can add widgets on the dashboard for a quick glance at your ongoing projects. So, you can easily track your ongoing projects and have a quick look at the stats when you log in.
