Knowing everything about what you purchase is very important to make full use of the product. You wouldn’t want to buy a car without knowing all of the features it offers and how they work, right? The same goes for your Semrush account.
Please note: to check how much of your limits you've used throughout the month, you can go to the Subscription Info page under the account profile menu.
Follow these articles for information on the limits of each area of Semrush.
This is the starting point of any online marketing activity—who your organic and paid competitors are, how well their websites perform, and which keywords are at play.
Within our reports, in just a few clicks, you will get the right keywords for your campaigns, uncover your competitors, and gather all the analytical data you’ll need.
The first big difference between the subscription plans for Domain Analytics and Keyword Analytics is the limits for the number of Requests per day and the number of Results per request.
A Request serves as a search. If you typed in a domain and were redirected to the Domain Overview, that would be one request.
However, clicking on the traffic number listed under Organic Search from the Domain Overview would be the second request. Each time you go to a different report within Semrush, that counts as an additional request.
Results are what show up for your query. For example, if you go to the Organic Positions report for a domain, each keyword would count as a result. The same goes for the exports; you would be limited to the number of results available for your subscription plan.
You can purchase Semrush .Trends as an add-on for a paid Semrush subscription (or as part of a custom Semrush plan) for $289/month.
.Trends subscription gives you access to Traffic Analytics, Market Explorer, EyeOn, and One2Target tools. With these tools, you can benchmark and compare multiple websites’ performance, traffic, and user engagement, monitor trends, conduct awesome presale research, and more.
Please note that daily and weekly competitive traffic data is only available to users of the new .Trends plan.
The 3 sample domains (amazon.com, linkedin.com, weather.com) allow you to see the features and reports of the Semrush .Trends solution in action before deciding to add full access to your subscription.

Some of the major Semrush tools require a preset project. All tools within a single project are focused on the same domain. This way, you are able to keep track of your progress.
Our Projects section serves as a valuable resource for any digital marketer. Through various tools offered within the Projects interface, users can find powerful information to effectively structure their digital marketing campaigns.
Based on your subscription level, you are only allowed a certain number of Projects:
Share projects with your colleagues for dynamic and transparent cooperation.
You can always delete a project to free up space for a new one, but keep in mind that you will lose all of the previously collected data.
Plans & Prices
The Maximum number of pages that can be crawled in a single audit:
- Free: 100
- Pro: 20,000
- Guru: 20,000
- Business: 100,000
Pages to crawl do not roll over each month; however, they reset on the 1st of the month.
Once you use up your total amount for the month, you would either need to wait until next month for your limits to be reset, expand your limits, or upgrade your account to receive more pages. When conducting your Site Audit campaigns, you will want to keep this in mind so you don’t waste your limits.
Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) is a Google-backed technology designed to improve the performance of mobile websites. An AMP version of a website loads three times faster from the search engine than a non-AMP version, but it places strict restrictions on CSS, Javascript, and HTML usage. Mistakes during AMP implementation are very common, so Semrush Site Audit offers to check the websites of our Business subscribers for over 40 AMP-related issues.
Since page load speed has a great influence on user experience and is a ranking factor for Google, you can see why AMP has become an important platform for e-commerce and advertising.
You will also want to keep these limits in mind when reporting. If you ever run out of keywords, you can always remove individual keywords, remove any projects, buy more keywords, or upgrade your account.
Cannibalization Report is included in the Guru or higher subscription plans. It allows you to detect the pages that compete for the same keywords and search rankings and lose positions due to this competition.
Multi-targeting is available to our users with a Guru or higher subscription plan and allows users to gather rank-tracking data for multiple devices and locations simultaneously within the same project (for example, Desktop vs. Mobile).
Please note: When you add another location or device to your campaign, your account is charged separately for the keywords in the second location.
So, a Project tracking the same 10 keywords in 3 different locations costs 30 keywords from your account limits.
If you want optimization ideas for 100 keywords 10 times a month, you will be spending 1,000 SEO ideas units. Your limit refreshes each month on the 1st of the month.
Please keep in mind that this tool shares its limit of keywords (labeled as SEO Ideas units on your Subscription Info page) with SEO Writing Assistant and SEO Content Template. Every target keyword you enter into one of those tools will also count against the same pool of limits (10 for a Free account, 500 for a Pro account, and so on). More info on SEO Ideas units can be found here.
Semrush offers multiple tools for content marketing. In addition to optimizing your content and tracking its performance, you can use SEO Content Template for creating SEO-friendly content from scratch.

*SEO Ideas Units are distributed between SEO Content Template and On Page SEO Checker. 1 unit = 1 keyword you can add to a content template or On Page SEO Checker campaign.
More info on SEO Ideas units can be found here.
Topic Research is a smart tool for content ideation in a creative and informed way, but please note that Free users and users on Pro will only be able to use it twice. Guru and Business users have unlimited access to topics.
SEO Content Template analyzes your top competitors for your target keywords and provides you with recommendations for creating winning content. While with a Free you can create 1 template with 10 keywords, Pro accounts are upgraded slightly with 1 template with 30 keywords.
On a Guru and Business, you get unlimited templates with 30 keywords per template. However, each account level takes these keywords from your SEO Ideas limits. This means that the maximum possible number of keywords on Free is 10, Pro 500, Guru is 800, and on Business it's 2,000.
SEO Writing Assistant is a Google Docs and MS Word add-on that integrates recommendations in your Google Docs or MS Word (it also functions as a WordPress plugin). With a Free account, you get 2 documents, SEO and Readability checks. With a Pro subscription, you also get 2 documents, as well as SEO, Readability, and Tone of Voice checks, 3 plagiarism checks, and 500 Smart Writer Words for a Rephraser feature. Guru and Business give you an unlimited number of documents, SEO, Readability, and Tone of Voice checks, additional plagiarism checks (5 and 10), and a Rephraser feature with 1000 and 2000 Smart Writer Words respectively per month.
The number of keywords you can export with CPC and volume data is limited by your subscription:
Please note: you can export as many keywords as you have in a PPC Keyword Tool campaign. However, you will only be able to export CPC and volume data for the amount available with your plan. For example, a Pro account could export a PPC Keyword Tool list with 600 keywords, but only the first 500 (based on campaign and alphabetical order) would have CPC and Volume data. The remaining 100 would just be exported as keywords without any further metrics.

Here are the limitations for scheduling your reports by package:
Semrush also offers extended branding and customization options for your reports as part of the Agency Growth Kit add-on, such as:
- Branded reports: reports with a header that include both a logo and a brief description of your brand instead of the standard Semrush logo in the header.
- White-labeled reports: The “The report data taken from semrush.com” phrase will be removed, Semrush will not be marked as a sender, and you will be able to customize the email text when scheduling or sending the report.
- Custom themes: a set of backgrounds for your reports.
- Custom visual styles: various color schemes and font sets to choose from.
Product Listing Ads (PLA) are displayed when someone searches on Google for a product that has a listing on Google Shopping. This type of ad is more intent-oriented and has a much higher conversion rate than the regular ad snippets. Therefore, serious e-commerce should pay close attention to the PLAs.
With a Free, Pro, or Guru account, you will be limited to only 10 rows of results when you query a report in this tool.
With a Business account, you will have full access to PLA Research reports. These reports include a PLA Positions report, Competitors report, and Copies report (for seeing your competitors’ actual PLAs).
Application Programming Interface (API) is a way of receiving raw Semrush data without navigating into Semrush itself.
The Standard API includes Analytics API and Projects API (Site Audit and Position Tracking data). This feature is only available to our Business subscribers.
Semrush users can also access the .Trends API (Basic or Premium) that allows to pull the data for up to 5 domains in a single request.
- .Trends Basic API: Offers access to broad traffic summaries that include website traffic metrics and user behavior data
- .Trends Premium API: Offers everything included in the .Trends Basic API, along with 16 additional data types that allow you to dig deeper into market dynamics, competitor strategies, and web traffic flows
If you would like to know more about the pricing of API access/API units, we suggest referring to this article or reaching out to our sales team.

To relieve you from these issues, Semrush designed a special App – Semrush Social that consists of four tools:
Semrush Social is available for an additional $29.99/month, and the limits in each tool will depend on the level of your subscription:

*Additional features for Poster are:
Supported channels for Poster:
Supported channels for Tracker:
Projects refer to the number of campaigns you create: 1 project – 1 website to post and/or track competitors for.
Owned social profiles are the social accounts you can connect to Semrush in order to post across different social networks from a single tab.
For example, let’s say you have three Projects with Social Poster running, and in each Project, you have Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest connected for posting. This would cost you nine profiles (three connected profiles in three Projects).
Social profiles to track are the profiles of your brand and your competitors you are tracking within your Tracker Project.
Let's say you have created a Social Tracker project in which you are only tracking Facebook and Twitter. If you were to add two competitors who both have Facebook and Twitter, you would have used up six profiles.
Each competitor would have two profiles, along with the two profiles you added for your own domain, to give you a total of six profiles.
In addition to Semrush Social subscription, you can purchase Social Content AI for $29.99/month.
Social Content AI is an AI-powered tool that generates strong content ideas across a variety of topics and helps create that content for specific social media networks. With this tool, you can effortlessly brainstorm ideas, generate your post with your unique visuals, and plan your content in minutes.
