Bye Semrush. After 8 years, cutting the cord.

GuestJanuary 5, 2026 at 3:23 pmI worked for a company with a massive SEMRush account and a smaller Ahrefs one and we completely flipped because the traffic estimation model was so far off reality with all the AI overviews and low value citations, especially in news. Ahrefs was just closer to what our own internal data was saying so we trusted what it was saying about our competitors.

GuestJanuary 5, 2026 at 6:03 pmMy competitor said: ” You ‘re not my competitor, your website has only 150 organic visitors (estimate) according to Semrush and Ahrefs” but my website has 10K organic visitors 🙂 Don’t trust them.

GuestJanuary 5, 2026 at 6:03 pmWhat would people recommend if we use their Local tools for distribution of our business details? I only use them because of this as I’m afraid of removing it?

GuestJanuary 5, 2026 at 8:44 pmI’ve had luck straight up writing things or creating content around stuff SEM Rush told me was useless. I agree. Not worth the price it’s outrageous their pricing tiers and what you have to pay. A la carte would be better but without all the restrictions.
