The Content Toolkit is Semrush's answer for marketers who mostly need ideas, briefs and drafts rather than a full SEO suite. The Base plan costs $60 a month billed annually and is aimed at individuals and small teams scaling content production. It includes a Topic Finder with weekly and country-specific topic ideas, an SEO Brief Generator, AI and SEO content optimization and writing in your brand voice, with up to 10,000 articles and 5 SEO content boosts a month. Extra users are $20 a month each, much less than seats on Semrush's SEO plans. Because the toolkit sits on Semrush's search data, topic suggestions are grounded in real demand rather than guesses. The limits are scope: there is no rank tracking, backlink research or technical audit here, so teams that need those still pay for a Semrush SEO plan or another suite, and annual billing is required for the headline price.

Who it is for

Content marketers who want Semrush keyword data behind their topic ideas and briefs without buying the full SEO suite.
