Craftify AI vs Semrush
Semrush is research-first SEO at $139/month for individuals, $249/month for small businesses, $499/month for agencies. Craftify AI gives small service businesses keyword research, competitor research, and a website audit, plus everything else marketing needs: design, email, CRM, social, and blog publishing, all at one fixed price.
SEO is one piece. Marketing is all of them.
SEO research right-sized for small service businesses
Semrush Pro is positioned for individual projects (5 websites). Guru, at $249/month, is positioned for small businesses (15 websites). Most service businesses run one website. Craftify ships keyword research with three research types, competitor research for both SEO and PPC, audience persona builder, and a website audit, calibrated for the level of detail an owner-operator actually uses.
Plus the marketing platform Semrush isn't
Drag-and-drop visual designer for social, ads, business cards, and print. Email from your own domain with per-contact tracking. Built-in CRM. Social scheduling for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Blog publishing to WordPress. Semrush is research. Craftify ships.
Research that feeds your actual content
Keyword research output flows into your blog post writer. Competitor research informs your ad writer. Website audit and Google Search Console insights surface as Craft Buddy summaries with actionable next steps. Closed loop, not separate tools.
AI tuned to your business profile, not just SEO
Set up your business profile from your website URL or Google Business Profile. Craftify pulls in your services, products, brand voice, and audience, and uses that on every prompt across writing, design, and ads.
