Semrush

All-in-one SaaS suite for SEO, PPC, content, and competitive research, now adding AI-search visibility tracking.

Semrush is a cloud-based marketing platform built around keyword and competitor research, with modules for organic rank tracking, technical site audits, backlink analysis, content optimization, PPC keyword planning, and social media tracking. Recent plans add monitoring of brand mentions inside AI assistant answers alongside traditional search rankings. It is priced in tiers based on the number of tracked domains, daily keyword checks, and, on newer plans, the number of AI prompts monitored, rather than by raw database size. Semrush differs from single-purpose SEO tools by bundling paid-search and social research into the same subscription, which suits agencies and in-house teams that report across channels rather than SEO alone. It runs entirely in the browser with no self-hosted option.
