Did you migrate your agency away from SEMRush? Care to share the story?

We are a ~20 client digital marketing agency, and have used SEMRUSH for a long, long time. But every time we do our end of year analysis of spending - SEMRush is one of our largest tool expenses...leading us to wonder if we should migrate before our May EOC. We're looking at a number of agency-class SEO tools, but I need to narrow down the ones we actually demo.

Is this the year we should switch to an alternative? Are Google's new SERP scraping restrictions going to shuffle this tools market? Are there mostly equivalent features for those features we use most?

Our fav Features:

The lion's share of use is in keyword magic, position tracking, on-page audits (screaming frog is our primary), and various domain and traffic quick analysis (often while we have prospects on the phone...). Our clients never ask about longitudinal rank tracking beyond around 3-6 months, but it's worth mentioning we'll be letting years and years of data go in such a migration. We have a few clients connected via Looker studio for some, but AFAIK they rarely look at it.

SO:::: DID You migrate your agency away from SEMrush to something other than AHREFs in the past year? How did it go? What do you regret? What do you miss most?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
