Searchmetrics or Semrush or something else?
-
Just could use some feed back on these products. I am looking for something to help Identify competitors top performing keywords by traffic amount, as well as possibly suggesting related keywords.
It looks like searchmetrics might do what I want, but not sure. Semrush I know is popular, but don't really know what is best for what I am trying to achieve.
I would appreciate your thoughts.

Brilliant question. Its a shame we only got two replies. We are at the same situation trying to decide which tool to go with.
We did a month with Searchmetrics (fully paid - no trial version or anything). When you purchase the basic account ($69) it is really basic which many features removed. The next level up is for $2000! (yes you read it right), so unless you are a large company its out of the question. If that's not enough, the Searchmetrics support sucks! and there is hardly any supporting videos and tutorials on the other hand, they have just lunched a "Mobile" position tracker which shows you Mobile SERP results alongside the Desktop results, this is something (and please correct me if i'm wrong) i haven't seen anywhere yet. That said, we were able to get some proper data about competitors and their viability and rankings.
SEMRUSH on the other hand seems to be much more engaging with their customers (paying customers and the community). Their pricing start at $69.95, $149.95 and $549.95 and from data point view i cant really see any downside with the exception of the nice mobile SERP feature that Searchmetrics have.
I would love to see what other experienced companies has to say about those two competitors.

Hi Jonathan,
Semrush is a great tool to identify competitors top performing keywords (paid & non paid both) . I'm using it and it is very helpful to me . I would like to tell you one thing that many SEO's don't know how to use this tool properly to get most of the data.
There is an article published by Robbie Richards for how to use semrush tool.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi Jonathon
I really like SEMRush - the features and tools are outstanding and incredibly versatile - from the competition standpoint, you can learn a lot. They also have some cool stuff happening in beta right now along the lines of Projects and Display Advertising.
I would request a demo with them, as every time I have spoke with their team they have been extremely helpful and willing to sit on the phone with me. They also have a pretty comprehensive YouTube channel that has a great Reports and Features section.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Domain keyword ranking
I used to use Searchmetrics (years ago) which enabled me to add in the domain name into their website, and it would provide all the keywords that rank for it. Does Moz do that do you know? Thanks

Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO
Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:

So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?0 -
Potential traffic
Hi! I am curious what is the Moz equivalent of "potential traffic" metric in Ahrefs? Is there any keyword metric I can check in Moz to receive data on potential traffic rather than only volume? Thanks in advance!
