I need to support initiatives, business cases - any tools that give me insight I find incredibly useful," said Nick Wilsdon, Product Owner, Search, Vodafone Group. "Then when it comes to measuring these initiatives, the reporting comes in handy. SEMrush is a very solid package that delivers exactly that."
