At the start of any SEO project, you’ll start with basic domain analysis, enabling you to get an overview of the quality of any domain from an SEO POV. So, you can perform domain analysis on both your website and your competitors, to benchmark where you are and how you can improve and outrank others. Domain analysis on SEMrush is very easy. Firstly, type in any domain into its “Domain Overview” section, and you’ll get an easy to understand rundown of everything about that domain, including:
- Authority Score
- Number of visitors per month
- Number of Backlinks
- Ranking Keywords
- Main competitors
SEMrush gives you a great insight into how a website is performing. Knowing all of this information can help you come up with a well defined SEO project plan, as you understand where you need to make improvements.
Keyword research is essential for any SEO project. Firstly, It’s all about finding out how many people search for a particular keyword (keyword volume), how hard it is to rank for that keyword (keyword difficulty), finding out which of your competitors are ranking for that keyword, and finding alternatives that offer the same volume and less difficulty. I know, bit of a mouthful, thankfully, SEMrush makes it much easier than the sentence you just read. All you have to do is enter a keyword into its keyword overview and you’ll immediately see the keyword volume, keyword difficulty and the websites ranking for it.
Finding alternative keywords is easy too. Just head to SEMrush’s “Keyword Magic” section, type in your keyword and then the magic happens. SEMrush will give you a list of alternatives, related to your original word, with its difficulty, volume and cost per click. Overall, keyword research is made a lot easier by SEMrush. And, will help you lay the perfect foundations for a fruitful SEO project.
Much of the time, a good SEO project is defined by its backlinks. Backlinks are links on external sites that link to another website (your website for example). SEMrush has a whole section of its platform dedicated to backlink analysis. This allows you to see all the backlinks associated with any domain. This is great for competitors’ backlink research. You can see what backlinks you could emulate, to help rank with and above your competitors.
SEMrush also allows you to perform a backlink audit. Backlink auditing, allows you to establish whether any of your backlinks are “toxic” and in fact, having a negative impact on your site health and authority. This in turn, will be reducing your search engine ranking. After identifying toxic backlinks SEMRush will compile a list, which you can then upload to Google. This “disavow file” will tell Google to ignore these links. This will have a beneficial impact on your search rankings, so it’s a necessary step.
One of the most useful tools on SEMrush is its site audit functionality. SEMrush will look out for potential issues that may be impacting your search ranking. This includes, slow loading content, duplicate content, orphaned pages, crawl errors, missing headers, lack or too many keywords. SEMrush will give you a list of issues to address. You can even export these to Trello by the click of a button on SEMrush (something that we’ve personally found to be extremely useful)
One of the best tools within the site audit section of SEMrush is its SEO checker. SEMrush will scan your website and give you SEO action points to improve each page. It tells you what you should do and also explains why you should do it. It’s a great tool to make improvements and learn, turning you into an SEO master. There aren’t many other platforms that offer such a strong and useful site audit tool.
