The Semrush alternative built for agencies, not enterprise budgets.
Semrush is a powerful tool — and at $139.95/month before you add a second user, it's also an expensive one. Bloom gives agencies automated technical SEO audits, ranked task lists, client-ready reports, and a specialist bench, all per website, no seat fees.
- First client site free, forever. Extra sites from $25/month each.
- Automated weekly analysis with plain-English tasks ranked by traffic impact.
- Client reports your customers can actually read — no data dump spreadsheets.

Reports clients can actually read

Tasks, not just issues
Semrush gives you a long list of issues. Bloom turns those issues into ranked, assignable tasks ordered by traffic impact so you always know what to do next.
Execution when you need it
Semrush is software. Bloom gives you a bench of vetted SEO specialists you can hand tasks to from inside the platform — no vetting, no freelance marketplaces, no briefing docs.
