What it is

Semrush bundles keyword research, rank tracking, site audit, backlink analysis, competitor traffic estimates and content tooling. Plans now split into an SEO-only tier and SEO + AI Search tiers that add tracking of brand mentions inside ChatGPT and other answer engines.

Why it earns a slot

Keyword Magic Tool plus Topic Research is the fastest route from a vague topic to a publishable content calendar. Position Tracking and Site Audit in one dashboard is what most editorial teams actually need.

Know before you commit

AI search visibility starts at the $199/mo Starter plan — the $139/mo SEO plan omits it. Users bill per seat from $45/mo and many reports carry daily caps.
