Semrush. Period.
Semrush vs google keyword planner? best for keyword research
- Thread starter business987982

My process usually includes both, but I find that Semrush and tools like that end up more as a value-add than anything truly shaping keyword planning and projection process.
It is because being able to see the keywords which competitors are ranking for or pursuing and getting access to the keyword magic tool which gives out tons of variations on the keyword and gives you other options to attack the search intent. Both are super valuable and worth the cost just for the amount of time saved.

Ahrefs is the easiest tool to manipulate
Ahrefs is an excellent tool for SEO. Every metric can be manipulated in a way that benefits the user. It is one of the most trusted metrics in the industry, second only to GPR. Ahrefs' Domain Rating (DR) is one of the strongest predictors, and its accuracy is far superior to the rest.

Lol. Look at the number of search results for "increase DR" on seoclerks and fiverr - $5 and you get a DR50+ within days. Haven't seen such for Semrush.

If you're seeking for a new keyword to rank on Google SERPs you might choose Google Keywords Planner. If your business requires a full marketing suite the best option is to go with Semrush which is more beneficial for you.

No. There's the API that "feeds" both SEMRush and the Keyword Planner, whoever queries it lasts would present the most updated values. None of them queries it every time for every keyword.
Another aspect is the "broadening" algorithm, which in my opinion, is better at SEMRush.
