Semrush integration

Size content plays against real search demand.

With a Semrush key, content and SEO plays carry volume, difficulty and the competitor who currently owns the query — so you know what a page is worth before you write it.

  • Volume and difficulty on every play
  • Competitor gap analysis
  • Your own API key

Add your website — see your ranked plan in about a minute, free.

  • What we read

    Organic keywords, estimated traffic, backlinks and competitor overlap for your domain.

  • What changes in your plan

    Content and SEO plays get sized against real search volume and difficulty, and competitor gaps are ranked by how winnable they are.

    • Keyword gaps where competitors rank and you do not
    • Topics sized by volume, so you write the page worth writing
    • Difficulty checks that stop you targeting terms you cannot win yet
    • Backlink context on the pages you are trying to move
  • How to connect

    Paste your Semrush API key in Integrations.

  • What we never do

    We only run lookups tied to your plan. Your key is stored securely and used for nothing else.

Questions

Before you start

  • Do I need a paid Semrush plan?

    You need an account with API access. Without one, content plays still work, just with less precise sizing.

  • Does it use my API units?

    Yes, lookups run against your account. We keep them to what the plan needs.

  • Is my key safe?

    It is stored encrypted, used only for your workspace, and you can remove it at any time.

  • Do I have to connect anything?

    No. Every play still spells out the steps by hand. Connecting just makes the ranking sharper.

  • Can I disconnect later?

    Yes, from Integrations, and we stop reading immediately.
