In short
- Semrush
- An SEO platform with an AI visibility module beside it: prompt tracking, AI sentiment and reports on any domain.
- prompt tracking
- A fixed list of questions asked again every day, so you see movement instead of a snapshot.
- platform licence
- You buy access to screens and data. What you do with it stays your work — that is the platform model, and it is not a criticism.
What is the difference between ceeme and Semrush?
| ceeme | Semrush | |
|---|---|---|
| In short | Measure, then actually do it | SEO platform, AI added |
| Who it is for | Freelancer, SME, group, agency or enterprise — from self-service to bespoke | SEO specialists, content teams, agencies and enterprise — people who already do search optimisation |
| Getting started | Free scan, no account and no card | A seven-day free trial; a subscription after that |
| Price | Free scan · DeepScan from €490 · subscription from €79/month | $139/month for SEO alone; with AI Search added $199, $299 or $549/month, up to 17% less billed annually. Extra users from $45/month, reporting add-ons $10 to $90 |
| What it does | Measure, report, fix and execute — with an approval gate before anything is published | Measuring and reporting, across search engines and AI answers alike. The interventions stay with you |
| Which engines | The engines that matter for your market and language — not a list to show off with | Google Search, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and more — 50, 100 or 200 prompts a day depending on the plan |
| Fixes | Exact fixes inside the product, and execution within scope with approval and rollback | An AI-ready site audit that points out problems; solving them is up to you or your agency |
| Follow-up | Live dashboard, weekly retest on the same prompt set, competitors included | Daily prompt tracking, AI sentiment, position tracking and up to 300 visibility reports a day on any domain |
| Traffic and attribution | GA4, Search Console and Looker Studio where available; also which AI sends visitors | Google Analytics and Search Console in the reports, plus an API and an MCP server |
| Language | Site in nl, fr, en, de; scan, report and dashboard in nl, fr, en, de or es — written per language, not translated | The website exists in fourteen languages, Dutch and French among them; tracking works per market |
| Breadth of the review | Technical, design trust, data consistency, Google Business Profile and agent-readiness | Keywords, backlinks, technical health, content, local search and AI visibility — the widest of them all |

Where is Semrush stronger than ceeme?
- Ten years of search data we do not have and are not going to build. Search volumes, backlink profiles, competitor analysis per keyword: that is a dataset built over years, and no AI visibility measurement replaces it.
- Two hundred prompts a day on the highest self-serve plan, and up to three hundred visibility reports a day on any domain — including one that is not yours. That last point is genuinely useful and we do not do it: our measurement starts at your site.
- Everything in one login and on one invoice. Tracking SEO and AI visibility in two tools means putting two figures side by side that do not share a definition. At Semrush it is one story.
- Their AI Visibility Index is public research that other people cite. It is the strongest GEO move on their entire site and it costs a visitor nothing — exactly what we are attempting with our studies, except that they do it at their scale.
- On Enterprise, SSO, audit logs and an SLA are in the price list. We do not have those three, and we write it that way: they are not features but attestations you either hold or do not.
How does ceeme differ from Semrush?
- Getting started is free, with no account and no card. With Semrush you begin with a seven-day trial, after which at least $139 a month applies — before the AI module.
- An audit points at the problem; we solve it. Our fix is written, judged blind by a second model from a different family, and placed within the agreed scope — with an approval gate in front, a rollback behind and a re-measurement afterwards.
- We do not measure keywords but answers, and that is a different kind of figure. A position in Google says nothing about whether an assistant mentions, cites or picks you; that is the only axis we have and the only one we sell.
- Dutch and French are not a setting here but the language the page, the scan, the report and the dashboard were written in. That is something other than a translated interface over the same measurement.
- We say what a measurement does NOT cover. How much of the AI market our engines cover together sits on our own study page, with the gap and with the name of what falls outside it.
Why does an AI name your competitor and not you?
A tracking tool stops at step three. We keep step two, and that is why step four exists.
- The prompt
- A real customer question, without your brand name in it.
- The answer
- What the engine says — and which sources it fetched for it.
- The finding
- "You are called the cheap option" or "this is factually wrong".
- The source
- Which page produced that framing. That is the fix — an address, not a number.
Measuring or fixing — which do you need?
If you do SEO today and want AI visibility beside it, Semrush is the shortest road and it is not close: same login, same invoice, same people. We answer the other question. Anyone who already knows they are not being mentioned and is not looking for another screen but for someone to fix it and prove with a re-measurement that it helped — that person is not buying a platform licence. Nor does it have to be a choice: plenty of companies keep their SEO tool and put us beside it for the layer nobody executes inside that subscription.
Frequently asked questions
Does ceeme replace my Semrush subscription?
No, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling you something. We have no search volumes, no backlink index and no Google position tracking. If those things carry your work, keep Semrush. What we put beside it is the layer that is not in there: someone who writes the fix, has it judged, places it and measures again.
Semrush tracks up to 200 prompts a day. How many do you track?
That sits per package on our pricing page, and that is deliberately the only place it sits. A number in a comparison is a number that forgets to change along. What matters more is what happens to a question: with us every question is asked several times, because a single answer from a language model is not a measurement — there is a separate study about that on this site.
Why are Semrush's prices shown here in dollars?
Because their pricing page shows them in dollars. Adding a converted euro figure would be a number we made up, and it would be wrong by tomorrow anyway. Everything on this page was taken from semrush.com/pricing on 11 August 2026; this market moves fast, so check it before you decide.
