SEMRush also gives you tools for running ads, but this course only focuses on organic and free SEO.
DISCLAIMER ON THE SEMRUSH TOOL
The course goes over a number of SEO tools including SEMRush. Some of these tools require you to enter your contact and email information. You don't have to use those tools if you are not comfortable giving out that information. Also, SEMRush is a paid tool, but it does offer a free trial.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Expect to find link opportunities, better keywords to rank for, errors on your site, and much more insight into what your competitors are doing for SEO. You can get all this information on the first day you use the tool. Luckily, you don't have to rush through it. SEMRush provides a 7-day free trial and students of this course can extend that to a 30-day free trial.
