User Testimonials
	Semrush	Storyblocks
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Angel Preciado Multimedia Operations Supervisor Read full review
Pros	Great visuals for keyword position tracking, love that you can see the page that is ranking Enjoyed the auto-generated reporting feature (specifically in the context of keyword position tracking) Shows many different and useful views for competitive research Great templated keyword research tools for those who are not as hands-on with SEO I LOVE the Keyword Magic Tool for honing in on longtail, high-opportunity keywords Katie Wojciechowski SEO Copywriter Read full review	Scenes with people, various situations and moods Background footage, great for overlaying text and info. Time lapse and unique styles to choose from. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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 Daniel Drummond Head of Digital Marketing Read full review	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. Incentivized Tim Cox, MBA Videographer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I [previously] used Semrush for many years and I cannot find any other tool being so complete and easy to use. Incentivized PB Perrine Bettinelli Online marketing assistant Read full review	No answers on this topic
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.
