Semrush Affiliate Program

About Semrush Affiliate Program

Semrush (formerly BeRush) is the program I recommend to anyone creating SEO content. At $200 per new subscription sale plus $10 per free trial activation, the math is straightforward and generous. My EPC averages around $72, and I'm converting about 4-5% of clicks into either trials or paid subscriptions. The free trial funnel is underrated — those $10 trial commissions add up fast and many convert to paid. The 120-day cookie is excellent for this niche because SEO professionals evaluate tools thoroughly before committing. What converts best: tool comparison articles ("Semrush vs Ahrefs"), keyword research tutorials using Semrush, and SEO audit walkthroughs. Screenshots and screen recordings of you actually using the tool outperform generic reviews by a wide margin. Honest take: Semrush is genuinely the most complete SEO toolkit available, so recommending it feels authentic. The main con is no recurring commission — at these price points, even 10% recurring would be transformative. Compared to Ahrefs (which has no public affiliate program), you basically have the premium SEO tool affiliate market to yourself. Best for SEO bloggers, digital marketing educators, and content about growing organic traffic.

This program is listed in SaaS & Software, AI & Productivity. It is managed through the Impact network. The commission model is flat.
