Yoast and Semrush working together
Today we’re announcing something really awesome: Yoast has partnered up with Semrush. The reason why we’re so excited? Keyword research is hard, getting keyword data is even harder and this puts it at your fingertips. Right where you’re writing.
Why would Yoast and Semrush work together?
Yoast has a lot of users; 11 million+ websites currently run Yoast SEO. When we add an integration to our free plugin, we ask ourselves a couple of questions. One of them is: will our partner hold up under the load of our huge user base? The answer to that was clearly and simply: yes. Semrush is one of the biggest SEO tool providers out there and they’ve been around for quite a while. They can handle this.
The other question we ask ourselves: is this going to be helpful for the majority of our users? The answer to that was even more clearly: yes. Absolutely. Just look at this with me, the full set of features available in Yoast SEO 15.1 that are powered by Semrush data:
- Get related keywords that are similar to your query (for your country of choice).
- Get volume and trend data for every one of these keywords.
- Easily add those keywords as related keywords (Yoast SEO premium only).
- Uncover new profitable keyword ideas for your content.

Note that I don’t think this removes the need for proper keyword research. It’s still very important to do that. But it does help you find related keyphrases and it might even help you validate your keyword choice.
Now also available in Yoast SEO for Shopify

Congrats on the keyword research piece, but on some of the technical on page callouts, SEMrush could use a little more up-to-date explanation. For example “low word count,” “mobile page doesn’t have an AMP version,” and use of nofollow on external links.
Do you think SEMrush could use some of Yoast’s explanation?
Hey Tom, thanks for the feedback — we’ll pass it on!
This is a wonderful partnership Yoast. I cant wait to see what happens next.
Thanks, Amrita. We’re excited as well!
Such a nice feature indeed.
Love this new integration.
I really hope Ahrefs will follow soon since I mainly use Ahrefs.
Hi Bahtiar. Glad you like the new feature! As of now, we don’t have plans to support Ahrefs in the near future. But never say never.
I’m Using the Semrush or Ahref Tool, it’s an amazing tool but sometime both are shows the different Data.
Hi Sarkari. Indeed, every SEO suite collects and lists data a little bit different so it’s not strange that they report other numbers. If you can, it’s good to compare different tools to get a feel for which one is closest to what you are seeing.
It,s great.
Thank you for this feature ;)
But it has a little problem with Persian. Please try to perform better in Persian.
Hi! We’re just starting our support of the Persian language, so it may be a bit rough. If you run into strange things, please make an issue on our GitHub so we can take a look at it and improve it.
Great news! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks😀
You’re welcome, Yvette! Let us know what you think :)
I have just updated the plugin and connected to Semrush but when I click on get related key phrases it comes up as a blank white box
Hi Karl, sorry to hear that. One of our support colleagues will contact you through email to help you figure out what’s going on :)
it seems I have a conflict with the Amazon Associates Link Builder plugin TY
