How To Use Semrush Tutorial: Best All-in-one SEO Tool?

Last Updated Date: December 2, 2025

TLDR:

  • 6-hour Semrush masterclass teaching business owners practical, ROI-focused AI SEO workflows instead of a quick surface-level tutorial.​
  • Shows how to find and target profitable long-tail, commercial and transactional keywords, including a “Reddit method” to uncover low-competition, high-intent topics competitors ignore.​
  • Teaches competitor-based keyword research using Organic Research and Keyword Gap tools to ethically “steal” proven keywords and traffic opportunities.​
  • Covers technical SEO via Site Audit (errors, Core Web Vitals, site health) to fix hidden issues that block rankings and traffic.​
  • Demonstrates using Semrush’s AI-powered SEO Writing Assistant to grade and optimize content in real time so it can effectively compete on page

I am going to be honest with you right from the start: This is not a quick, 10-minute overview.

If you are looking for “entertainment” or a “get-rich-quick” scheme, you are in the wrong place. But if you are a business owner or entrepreneur who hates hype and values ROI, you have found the right resource.

I have just released a comprehensive, 6-hour masterclass on Semrush. Why? Because in the world of AI SEO, the “poison” is usually shallow advice that leads to zero results. My goal with this video is to be the filter for that poison.

I have taken my background as a Digital Marketing Manager and my academic focus on Software Systems to deconstruct this tool entirely. I don’t want you to just “use” Semrush; I want you to build a business system around it.

Why Is This Semrush Masterclass Different From Standard Tutorials?

Most tutorials walk you through the buttons. “Click here, do that.” That is useless for a business owner. You need to know strategy, not just navigation.

In this deep dive, I am not acting as a guru. I am acting as a fellow practitioner. I am showing you the exact workflows I use to manage SEO for myself and my clients.

Here is the reality: Most data in SEO tools is an “educated guess.” Google does not hand us their algorithm. However, Semrush provides the most accurate estimated data available. This video is about how to take that data and turn it into revenue, not just vanity metrics.

What Specific AI SEO Workflows Will I Learn In This Video?

I have structured this video to respect your time by focusing on “Hard Authority” and efficiency. We are skipping the fluff and going straight to the workflows that impact your bottom line.

Here is exactly what you can expect to master when you watch this video:

  1. The “Profitability” Keyword Filter: How to ignore vanity metrics and find the “transactional” keywords that actually convert into sales.
  2. The “Reddit” Low-Competition Hack: A specific method I use to find questions your competitors are ignoring, allowing you to rank faster.
  3. Competitor Espionage: How to ethically “steal” the keyword strategies your competitors have already paid to test.
  4. AI SEO Writing: How to use the AI Writing Assistant to grade your content against the Top 10 results in Google (real-time data, not guesswork).
  5. Technical Health Checks: How to find the “leaks” in your website that are draining your traffic, using the Site Audit tool.

This is about AI SEO for Business. It is about leverage. It is about using data to make decisions so you can stop guessing and start growing.

How Will This Video Teach Me To Find Profitable Keywords My Competitors Miss?

In the first major section of this masterclass, I tear down the biggest myth in SEO: that “Search Volume” equals “Success.”

As a business owner, you cannot pay your bills with views. You pay them with revenue. That is why I spend a significant portion of this video teaching you how to use the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool to filter for profitability, not just popularity.

Why Do I Focus On “Long-Tail” and “Intent” In This Tutorial?

I walk you through a specific, repeatable workflow that I use for every client. You will see me demonstrate live how to take a broad, competitive term (like “weight loss” or “CRM”) and drill down into the “money” keywords.

I show you exactly how to apply three critical filters:

  • Word Count (5+ Words): I explain why longer phrases usually mean the user is holding their credit card and ready to buy, unlike short phrases where they are just browsing.
  • Keyword Difficulty (0-29%): I show you how to find the “Very Easy” keywords that allow new or smaller sites to rank without needing thousands of backlinks.
  • Search Intent: I demonstrate how to filter specifically for Commercial and Transactional intent. We don’t want tire-kickers; we want decision-makers.

What Is The “Reddit Keyword Hack” I Reveal In The Video?

One of the unique strategies I share in this masterclass is what I call the “Reddit Method.”

In the video, I show you how to use Semrush to leverage Reddit data. Why? because Reddit is where people go when they are frustrated and can’t find honest answers on Google. By finding these specific questions, you can identify the exact pain points your market is facing—pain points your competitors are ignoring.

I will show you how to find these “zero-competition” topics so you can become the authority that solves them.

How Can I Spy On Competitors To Find Proven Traffic Sources?

One of the biggest mistakes I see business owners make is trying to be “original.” In SEO, originality is expensive. It takes time and money to test what works.

In this video, I teach you a smarter, more ruthless approach: Competitor-Based Keyword Research.

I show you how to let your competitors do the hard work, spend their budget testing keywords, and then—once they have proven the concept—how you can ethically “steal” that intelligence using Semrush.

What Will I Learn About “Organic Research” In This Video?

I dedicate a full segment to the Organic Research tool. I walk you through exactly how to plug in a competitor’s domain and see underneath their hood.

You will learn how to identify:

  • Top Performing Pages: Which specific articles or products are bringing them the most traffic?
  • Top Keywords: What are the exact terms driving their revenue?
  • Traffic Cost: How much would you have to pay in Google Ads to get that same traffic?

This isn’t about vanity; it’s about reverse-engineering their success so you can implement it faster.

How Does The “Keyword Gap” Analysis Save Me Time?

I also take you deep into the Keyword Gap tool. This is one of my favorite features for “AI SEO for Business” because it gives you an immediate roadmap.

I demonstrate how to compare your domain against up to four competitors side-by-side. We look specifically for the “Weak” and “Untapped” filters.

  • Weak: Keywords where your competitor ranks #1-10, but you are languishing on page 5.
  • Untapped: Keywords they are profiting from that you haven’t even targeted yet.

By the end of this section, you won’t just have a list of keywords; you will have a hit-list of opportunities where you know traffic already exists.

How Do I Fix The Hidden Technical Errors That Are Killing My Traffic?

You can have the best content in the world, but if your website is broken, Google will ignore you. It is that simple.

In the Site Audit section of this masterclass, I show you how to secure your business foundation. I treat this like a health check-up for your digital storefront. We don’t guess if the doors are open; we check.

Why Is The “Site Health” Score Critical For Business Owners?

I walk you through how to run a comprehensive crawl of your website. This tool checks over 140 distinct technical issues.

In the video, I show you how to prioritize:

  • Errors (Red): These are critical “leaks” in your ship. Broken internal links, 404 pages, and crawl failures. I show you how to find them and fix them immediately so you stop bleeding “link juice” and authority.
  • Core Web Vitals: Google cares about user experience. If your site loads slowly or shifts around, you are losing rankings. I explain how to interpret these metrics without needing a degree in computer science.

How Can I Use AI To Write Content That Actually Ranks?

Finally, we get to the “AI” in “AI SEO.” But I am not talking about asking ChatGPT to write a generic blog post. That is how you get ignored.

I dedicate a specific section to the SEO Writing Assistant. This is about data-driven execution.

How Does “Real-Time Grading” Improve My ROI?

I demonstrate how to import your target keywords and have the tool grade your content in real-time against your top 10 competitors.

  • Readability: I show you how to ensure your content is simple and scannable (aiming for a 5th-grade reading level), because “if you confuse, you lose.”
  • Originality & Tone: We use the built-in AI features to rephrase and expand content while maintaining a consistent brand voice that builds trust.

This workflow allows you to scale your content production while ensuring every single piece is mathematically optimized to compete on page 1.

Final Thoughts: The Master Key To AI SEO

Think of this 6-hour masterclass as a Master Key.

A generic understanding of SEO is just a label—it tells you what the industry is, but it won’t unlock any doors. This video is the specific, jagged key designed to fit the lock of your search engine rankings.

I have poured my academic background and professional experience into this to give you a resource that respects your intelligence and your wallet. We filter the poison. We focus on the work that works.
