Semrush sits in AEO. SEO, competitor research and AI visibility toolkit.
Catalog pricing: Free plan; SEO plan from $139/mo ($117.33/mo billed annually).
Catalog verdict: For marketing teams that need keyword and competitor research and want AI visibility tracking in the same place. It fits if SEO is already a real channel for you; teams that only care about AI answers may want a dedicated AEO tool. Track prompts that match the keywords you already rank for so the two reports line up.

SEO, competitor research and AI visibility toolkit.
For marketing teams that need keyword and competitor research and want AI visibility tracking in the same place. It fits if SEO is already a real channel for you; teams that only care about AI answers may want a dedicated AEO tool. Track prompts that match the keywords you already rank for so the two reports line up.
AI marketing platform that tracks how your brand shows up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and other answer engines, with agents that act on what it finds.
For enterprise brands that need to see how they show up in AI answers and want agents to act on it. Paid access is an enterprise contract, so it fits teams with the budget and a content team to work the findings. Use the trial to run the prompts you actually care about before you book the demo.
Agents that track and improve how your brand shows up in AI search.
For commercial and enterprise brands that want to track and improve how they appear in AI answers. It fits if someone will act on the content recommendations, since tracking alone doesn't change visibility. Pick prompts your buyers would really ask and track those instead of vanity prompts.
Tracks whether AI assistants recommend your brand for the questions your buyers ask, and who they name instead.
Run the free check on one question your buyers actually ask before you pay $15 a month. Answers come from the model APIs, so treat one result as a hint.
