What SEMrush PPC is

SEMrush's PPC toolkit focuses on keyword research, competitor analysis and ad audits to plan and refine paid search campaigns.

SEMrush is a research powerhouse — keyword data, competitor intel and PPC audits that inform your strategy. But it's a planning and analysis layer: it doesn't create your campaigns, generate creative, build pages, or execute.

The difference

Most tools stop at insight or optimization. Meerkats closes the loop.

SEMrush gives you the research to plan. Meerkats turns a plan into shipped work — creating campaigns, creatives and pages, then optimizing to revenue with your approval.

It creates, not just critiques

Agents write the campaigns, generate the creatives, and build the landing pages — so insight turns into shipped work, not a to-do list.

It optimizes to revenue

Connected to your CRM, Meerkats tunes spend toward what actually closes — not the cheapest click or the best on-platform ROAS.
