Marketers, have you ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at how professionals within digital marketing agencies help clients improve their site and content for SEO?

In a series we’re calling the “Semrush Reality Show,” we provide you with a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective into this very process. 

How the Semrush SEO Reality Show Works

1. Semrush selects small businesses with concrete marketing challenges and partners them with a digital marketing agency. Semrush pays for the agency’s fees for 6 months. 
2. During the duration of the Reality Show, both parties are given access to Semrush’s top-level subscription plan. 
3. The agency is tasked with providing effective SEO and content optimization services within a modest marketing budget, effective and step-by-step SEO tactics that other businesses or agencies can repeat for themselves. 
4. As the agency creates their optimization strategy and implements SEO tactics for the business, Semrush shares their approach with you in the format of detailed blog posts. Some of the blog posts are accompanied by video interviews with key players of the project.
5. The goal of this SEO Reality Show is to share optimization steps followed by the professionals that marketers can follow for their business or agency.
