### 4/5
Frequent user, software, 1000-10000 employees
> Usefull for keyword monitoring and competitors tracking. But UX more and more complexe overtime with too many entries

### 4.5/5
Administrator, software, 50-100 employees
> Good tool, remains a must have in terms of SEO. I like their new GEO tool and their efforts to remain up-to-date and coherent with their offers.

### 5/5
Frequent user, software, 10-50 employees
> Great with good monitoring tools ! I recommand

### 4/5
Administrator, software, 50-100 employees
> The tool is great to monitor SEO but frustrated to have to pay this much to unlock GEO monitoring as well.

### 3.5/5
Administrator, software, 50-100 employees
> Semrush has one of the biggest and oldest keyword databases in the industry, and that is still the main reason to pay for it. Coverage is deep, the historical data is there, and for core SEO and paid search work it stays dependable in a way most newer tools aren't.
> The one area where I'd temper expectations is the AI SEO add-on. It feels like they built it with the same complexity as their main SEO suite instead of starting small and accurate. The topics it surfaces often don't make sense, and the data from the add-on still isn't available through the API, so you can't pull it into your own reporting or workflows yet.

### 3.5/5
Frequent user, software, 10-50 employees
> It gives you good data but sometimes it's difficult to understand it all

### 3/5
Frequent user, software, 50-100 employees
> Works well as long as you stay in Microsoft ecosystem

### 4/5
Occasional user, consulting, 100-300 employees, over 2 years of use
**Title:**
> A powerful and comprehensive SEO platform
> Semrush is a very powerful and reliable platform that covers a wide range of SEO, content, competitive analysis, and digital marketing needs. The depth of the tool is a real strength, although the number of features can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it is not always easy to take full advantage of everything the platform offers.
**Liked:**
> Very comprehensive, reliable data, strong SEO and competitive analysis features, and useful reporting tools.
**Missing:**
> The large number of features can make the platform complex to navigate, and some functionalities may remain underused without enough time or expertise.
