There is no end to the amount of data you can get from Semrush. The research part is incomparable, we can learn instantly about customers’ competitors, backlinks and content. We have an exclusive database too, which gives us that competitive advantage.

Nick Wilsdon
Product Owner, Search Vodafone Group

The most important thing I can have really is data. Data is my currency. I need to support initiatives, business cases - any tools that give me the insight I find incredibly useful. Then when it comes to measuring these initiatives the reporting comes in handy. Semrush is a very solid package that delivers exactly that.

Emanuele Arosio
Head of SEO Triboo Digitale Group

We can’t imagine our online promotion without Semrush. When we approach a new customer, the first thing we look at is their brand visibility, and with the help of Semrush we do our best to boost it.

Leonardo Saroni
Senior Product Owner

Whenever someone signs up for the affiliate program we can use the tool to have an understanding of their traffic mix. Are they strong at SEO, how much traffic do they have, are they buying that traffic, what is their potential to actually generate transactions.
