► ABOUT SEMRUSH

What the hell is SEMrush?

SEMrush is basically steroids for SEO. Keyword research, competitor stalking, backlink detective work, site audits that find every embarrassing SEO mistake you've ever made - it does it all. Over 10 million users including yours truly. If Google were an alien invasion, SEMrush would be Duke's entire weapons arsenal in one package. Come get some.

Is SEMrush free? I'm not made of money.

7-day free trial, baby. That's enough time to spy on your competitors, find keywords they're sleeping on, and realize you've been doing SEO wrong this whole time. After that? $139/month. Yeah, it's not cheap. Neither is a rocket launcher. But when you're blowing your competitors out of the SERPs, you'll be glad you paid for the firepower.

What can SEMrush actually do for me?

Oh, you sweet summer child. SEMrush shows you EXACTLY what keywords your competitors rank for (so you can steal them), where they get their backlinks (so you can get them too), every technical SEO problem on your site (so you can stop embarrassing yourself), and tracks your rankings over time (so you can watch your enemies fall). It's like having X-ray vision for Google. Total. Domination. Hail to the king.

► ABOUT THE CREATOR

Who's responsible for this beautiful disaster?

John Rippy - 2025 Zapier Automation Hero, SEO obsessive, and certified digital menace. When I'm not here helping people kick ass in Google, I'm building 160+ web scrapers at Actor Arsenal (DOOM themed, naturally) and making Zapier do unspeakable things at Zap Arena (Quake themed, obviously). I have a type, and that type is "retro FPS games as website aesthetics." Don't judge me.

Can you help me dominate SEO? Like, personally?

Damn straight. Keyword strategy that actually makes sense, technical SEO audits that find the skeletons in your site's closet, backlink campaigns that don't get you slapped by Google, competitor analysis so thorough it's borderline creepy - I do it all. If you want to absolutely demolish your competition in the search results, hit me up. Just be ready to put in the work. I'm not a miracle worker. I'm better - I'm a Duke Nukem with a SEMrush subscription.

What's in your toolkit besides SEMrush?

SEMrush is my main squeeze, but I'm not monogamous with my tools. Actor Arsenal has 160+ Apify web scrapers for data extraction (need to scrape something? I probably built an actor for it). Zap Arena is where I keep my Zapier automations for when you need to connect 47 different apps without losing your mind. Same unhinged energy, different weapons of mass productivity.

► ABOUT THIS SITE

Why the hell is this Duke Nukem themed?

Because SEO is WARFARE and I refuse to pretend otherwise. You're out there fighting for every ranking, battling competitors, destroying spam backlinks, and occasionally screaming at Google algorithm updates. Duke Nukem energy is the ONLY appropriate energy for this kind of work. "It's time to kick ass and rank keywords" isn't just a tagline - it's a lifestyle. Hail to the king, baby. Always bet on Duke. And always bet on me.

Are you getting paid for this SEMrush stuff?

Yes! I'm a SEMrush affiliate partner, which means if you click my links and sign up, I get a cut. No extra cost to you, slightly less poverty for me. But here's the thing - I actually USE SEMrush. Every damn day. I'm not shilling some tool I've never touched. SEMrush is genuinely the best SEO tool on the market and I'd recommend it even if they weren't paying me. They are, though. Which is nice. Buy their stuff through my link. Do it. You know you want to.
