Independent research methodology

Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros

“Semrush provides that every single day, audits of my websites, tracking of keywords, gaps between competitors - it all resides in a single place and, in fact, makes a difference in the work I create on a weekly basis.”

James M.

Digital Marketing Manager

“Two exports of the identical May 9 dataset, one pulled in May and one pulled in June from the historical view of the same period, produced completely different results across all four tracked AI platforms.”

Michael F.

SEO

“It saves immense time by consolidating backlink analysis, site audits, and traffic insights into one centralized platform, making it well worth the investment.”

Palash R.

Graphic design

Pros

“The NLP (Natural Language Processing) keyword suggestions take the guesswork out of on-page optimization, and the seamless integration with Google Docs makes collaborating with freelance writers incredibly smooth.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Instead of guessing what Google wants to see, we now have a clear, data-backed blueprint for every article before we even start writing.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Some of Surfer’s recently launched features are pretty good, like topic explorer, keyword cluster planner, audit, and SERP analyzer.”

Ajay J.

Growth Marketing Lead

Cons

“The account was not used for any meaningful activity after the charge other than logging in to cancel the subscription and submit the refund request. Despite explaining the situation, including the fact that we are a small business and that the service would not be used, Semrush refused to provide a refund.”

Devinda D.

Digital Marketing Consultant

“I realized within two days of resubscribing that I did not have the time or technical background needed to use the tool effectively, and I contacted support immediately after recognizing this. While customer support was responsive, the refund process was extremely rigid. Despite the very short timeframe and the fact that I had not meaningfully used the product, my refund request was denied and the case was closed as final.”

Suzanne C.

Small Business Owner

“Automatic trial conversion can lead to unexpected charges if you are not monitoring renewal dates closely.”

Devinda D.

Digital Marketing Consultant

Cons

“Additionally, the sheer volume of keyword suggestions can sometimes feel overwhelming, and if you aren't careful, trying to hit every single keyword can make the writing sound a bit unnatural or forced.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Planning with the topical map does not work in many languages, and it also lacks the capability to select the clustering level”

othmen a.

“Personally I don't use their own AI tools as I find the results a bit cheesy and more challenging to tailor for the markets I work in - very Americanised even when generating in other languages.”
