SEMrush is one of my favourite digital marketing tools ever. It’s a powerful multipurpose platform that enables you to tackle the massive mountain that is search engine marketing. They’ve also started to add some social features.

I often use SEMrush to optimize my site, do content and keyword research, and keep an eye on competitors.

I’ve spent a lot of time in SEMrush in my life. It can be expensive starting at $99 USD per month. But, the value of the insights you get (if used right) from the software far exceeds the cost. SEMrush often competes with Moz and Ahrefs. I like both of them, but SEMrush in my eyes remains the best choice.
