Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Semrush Holdings, Inc. is a publicly traded digital marketing software company that provides a comprehensive software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed to help businesses improve online visibility, digital marketing performance, and competitive intelligence. The company operates primarily within the digital marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), online advertising, and content marketing industries. Its platform aggregates and analyzes large-scale online data to support marketing decision-making across search, social media, and web analytics channels.
The company’s primary revenue driver is subscription-based access to its platform, serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), marketing agencies, and enterprise customers. Semrush is positioned as an integrated, data-driven marketing intelligence provider, offering a broad toolset that combines SEO, paid search, content marketing, social media management, and competitive research within a single ecosystem. Founded in 2008, Semrush evolved from an SEO-focused tool into a diversified digital marketing analytics platform, culminating in its initial public offering in 2021.
Business Operations
Semrush generates revenue primarily through tiered subscription plans that provide access to its cloud-based analytics tools and proprietary datasets. Its operations are organized around a single reportable segment, Semrush Platform, which encompasses multiple functional solution areas including SEO, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising research, content marketing, social media management, market intelligence, and local marketing. The company also derives limited revenue from add-on services and application integrations.
The company operates globally with customers in over 140 countries, supported by a distributed workforce and cloud infrastructure. Semrush controls proprietary databases related to keywords, backlinks, website traffic, and digital advertising trends. It operates through several subsidiaries, including Semrush Inc., Semrush CZ s.r.o., and Semrush OÜ, which support research, engineering, and regional operations. The company maintains technology partnerships with major digital platforms and integrates with third-party tools commonly used by marketing professionals.
Strategic Position & Investments
Semrush’s strategic direction focuses on expanding its role as an end-to-end marketing intelligence platform, deepening enterprise adoption, and increasing average revenue per user through feature expansion and bundled offerings. Growth initiatives include continued investment in artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance data accuracy, predictive analytics, and workflow automation across its platform.
The company has pursued targeted acquisitions to broaden its capabilities, including the acquisitions of Backlinko, Traffic Think Tank, Kompyte, and Prowly, which expanded its presence in content marketing education, competitive intelligence, and public relations analytics. These acquisitions function as integrated product offerings rather than standalone portfolio companies. Semrush continues to invest in emerging technologies related to AI-powered content optimization, competitive benchmarking, and omnichannel marketing analytics.

Semrush is headquartered in the United States, with its principal executive offices located in Boston, Massachusetts.

The platform serves customers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, with international markets representing a substantial portion of total revenue. Semrush’s global footprint allows it to collect and analyze region-specific digital marketing data while maintaining localized customer support and compliance with regional regulatory requirements.
