These include the on-page SEO checker, log file analyzer, backlink analytics (especially the toxicity score of harmful links targeting your domain on this one is unique and helpful), backlink gap and the map rank tracker for Local SEO. Makes the life of an SEO so much easier when compared to similar tools. > > **Cons**: The only downside of Semrush is its pricing. Especially if you are a freelance SEO like me. It is worth the investment but I think it may offer some discounts for one-person companies. > > A worthy investment for all kind of SEOs, you get what you pay for and the features it offers will make many processes easier for you. ----- ### "Semrush are now just a bunch of scammers." — 1.0/5 > **Alp** | *16 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: When it worked a few years ago. It was not bad. But now their support is terrible. No rectification of a clear fault. Replying with there is no error when there is a clear error. > > **Cons**: We've noticed more and more discrepancies and missing data that are HUGE in comparison to every other tool. or they are flatout just missing. eg. Position Tracking tool - our most importantly used tool. volume for a keyword in Google Keyword Planner set to same location is showing a volume of 590 and in semrush its a flat 0. Most of position tracking over different client accounts are showing 0 volume for their most primary keywords and in turn making our traffic metrics look like garbage in position tracking, when infact they're booming. I raised this issue with their support just after my renewal, they stretched the responses out for 2 weeks after multiple follow up attempts and then wont refund me my 5k renewal because it's now outside the strict 7 day refund period. However the issue was raised literally two days after the renewal where i mentioned im giving them the opportunity to resolve and update all my campaigns first before i ask for a refund. I did the right thing - they want to scam me. Semrush in my eyes now is just a scam. Stay away. There are much better tools out there and weve moved off and will never look back and have only but the worst to say about semrush like most the other reviews on here. ----- ### "Boosting traffic to our transport company." — 5.0/5 > **John** | *30 January 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The information quality in terms of the number of keywords is outstanding, and it assists us to focus on particular shipping routes that are not being considered by rivals at the moment. > > **Cons**: It is fairly expensive as a subscription, especially to small business and the interface can sometimes be overwhelming to someone like me who is not a marketing professional. > > Visibility drives are used in transport. I rely on this tool to optimize our site on terms of car shipping. It opens small business opportunities in an effective manner. ----- ### "Semrush has so many opportunities to improve, but definetly is a good tool" — 5.0/5 > **Roger** | *18 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Data quality is very helpful, the tools are very accurate and I use a lot some of the features that help me to build strategies for my clients. I feel secure on my data and in what I do on the app. > > **Cons**: Pricing and how hard is to pause the service, sometimes I need to pause it and it can be hard to just pause the service. > > Is good, I think having a course specifically made for a Small business who wants to learn specific things and not all the features would be great. ----- Page: 1 / 94\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91634/semrush?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/91634/semrush) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
