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.
