SEMrush costs hundreds monthly and has a steep learning curve with overwhelming data. Most people save money hiring an SEO specialist for specific insights instead of spending weeks learning the tool.
So you want to do SEO all on your own. Should you buy an SEO tool like SEMrush and try it out? Maybe. Here's what I want to tell you. SEMrush is a very complicated tool that has a big learning curve. You have to ask yourself how much time you want to spend learning to use the tool. Tools like SEMrush are complicated because they offer so much data, which for a lot of people is very overwhelming. When you've never used a tool before, you're going to have to use tutorials and watch videos and all that good stuff. So you have to ask yourself, is it within your budget to buy the tool? The tool is going to run you a couple hundred dollars a month. If you buy the tool, do you have the time to learn how to use it, or is it more cost-effective to hire someone like me and say, hey, this is what I want to do, can you tell me how many people look for this particular keyword a month?
