| Fix the right pages | Run a site audit and sort hundreds of warnings yourself. | We name the pages to fix first and say what to change on each. |

Semrush alternative questions
Do I get a Semrush account?
No. You don't need one. We run the research with paid SEO tools and send you the findings and next steps for your store.
Is this only SEO?
No. Your $99 plan also covers competitor ads, creator leads, stockists and review insights.
When is Semrush the better buy?
When you do SEO every day, manage several sites or want to explore the data yourself. For one store run by its founder, getting the research done is the better buy.
