About Semrush: The Intelligence Engine for Ambitious Marketers

At Semrush, we believe that in an era of rapid digital evolution, data alone is not enough—marketers need intelligence. Since our founding in 2008, we have grown from a small SEO tool into the world’s leading brand visibility platform. We empower marketers to command their online presence, uncover high-impact opportunities, and achieve measurable growth across search, social, and AI-driven discovery.

Our Evolution: From SEO Pioneer to Visibility Leader

The Semrush story began with a single tool developed for private use by our founders, Oleg Shchegolev and Dmitry Melnikov. Driven by a passion for SEO and emerging technologies, they launched a pilot product with just three employees. Today, Semrush is a publicly traded company (NYSE: SEMR) with over 1,600 employees across 13 offices worldwide, serving over 28 million users—from scaling startups to the Fortune 500.

As discovery expands beyond traditional rankings into AI-generated answers and competitive ecosystems, our platform has evolved into Semrush One—a unified intelligence engine that bridges the gap between SEO and what we call "Agentic Search Optimization" (ASO).
