This is suited to plan for keywords in a single market, but it struggles when you need to consolidate several markets. It is well-suited to discover new keywords directly related to the ones being used currently to expand the content the company is creating to get better results.

If I need to edit a commercial spot in a pinch, Storyblocks is my go-to for a quick template to use or even just inspiration. I can find stock videos and images rapidly. They also have an extensive amount of templates for logos and text animations, which come in handy. The search feature is easy to navigate so I can find what I'm looking for rather quickly. I have even started using illustrations from Stroyblocks than our other stock subscription service.

Cons
  • Extra seats can be expensive, as [an] agency with multiple team members this can be frustrating
  • Backlink data is not great, misses out a lot of backlinks (better off using a specialist backlink tool like Link research tools LRT)
  • Tracking multiple keywords, across multiple clients can be costly

  • Allowing the user to click in the middle of a song from the full list instead of clicking it and then going to the bottom of the screen to preview different parts.
  • Continue adding more MOGRT files to be used directly with Premiere.
  • More video clips with model releases.

I [previously] used Semrush for many years and I cannot find any other tool being so complete and easy to use.

Usability
The interface is a little less intuitive than it could be. The data is often available but filtering and manipulating the data can be a little difficult at times. Expanded comparisons would be helpful since most of the time seeing more than a few competitors at a time allows for a better sense of how to forecast.

I'm in a FB group for Semrush paid users and it amazing! They are fast to respond, take suggestions and help with questions. I have not felt alone in using this product at all. Highly recommend their support team. When I had an issue I can jump into the group and they will help get me the right person to help or even tag their programmers to look at something that is going on. Love the group!

It's really is the ultimate all-in-one tool when comparing other performance measurement tools in the digital marketing space.

Storyblocks is the clear winner against iStock. It's all about unlimited downloads. The content on Storyblocks is almost as good as iStock, but the convenience factor makes it 10X better.
