Semrush vs goodSEO.tech: DIY SEO Tool or Done for You?
As of October 2026, Semrush is a research tool that does not publish content to your site on autopilot, so you (or someone you pay) must still write or edit and publish each piece. goodSEO.tech is an AI tool that does the SEO work for you. It finds searches you are close to winning in Google Search Console, then writes and publishes about 30 finished articles a month for $49 a month per website. Choose Semrush if you want to do SEO yourself. Choose goodSEO.tech if you want the work done for you.
The rest of this guide covers what each option costs you in time and money, what goodSEO.tech actually delivers, and how to tell whether it is working.
The core difference: a research tool vs a service that does the work
Semrush belongs to a group of products, along with Ahrefs, Jasper, and Frase, that help you research or write. As of October 2026, none of them publish content to a website on autopilot. The research can be excellent, but a person still has to turn it into an article, edit it, and put it live on your site. For a solo operator, that person is usually you.
goodSEO.tech, operated by Good Solutions, works from the other direction. It handles the whole workflow:
- Finds opportunities. It connects to your Google Search Console and spots searches your site is already close to winning.
- Writes the content. Each article is researched and drafted around one of those opportunities.
- Checks the facts. Every draft is checked against a Knowledge Base built from your own website, and drafts that state unverified claims are rewritten.
- Publishes. You approve each piece in one click, or let new posts publish on autopilot.

What is inside every goodSEO.tech article
Each article is a finished piece ready to go live, not a rough draft. Every one includes:
- A researched topic based on your Search Console data
- A written draft
- A quality check against your Knowledge Base
- An original featured image
- Links to relevant pages on your own site
- Outside sources
- A closing FAQ section with expandable questions and FAQPage structured data
With a research tool, every item on that list is a task someone has to do by hand.
How much time each option takes from a small business owner
This is where the two options differ most for a busy owner.
With Semrush, the research is only the start. Someone still has to write or edit each piece and publish it. If you plan on several articles a month, that adds up to a real block of hours, or a writer's invoice.
With goodSEO.tech, you choose one of two publishing modes:
- Approval mode: each piece waits for your one-click approval.
- Autopilot: brand-new posts publish automatically.
In either mode, changes to your existing pages always need your approval.
Content publishes directly to:
- WordPress
- Wix
- Shopify
- Custom-built sites (Lovable, Bolt, v0, or hand-coded) through one small API endpoint
Sites on other platforms, such as Squarespace, receive finished, ready-to-paste content.
Beyond articles: backlinks and AI-assistant visibility
Backlinks. goodSEO.tech finds the sites that link to your competitors and finds their contact details. It drafts outreach emails, which are sent from your own mailbox. It never uses link exchanges or link farms.
AI-assistant visibility. More customers now ask ChatGPT and similar assistants for recommendations. goodSEO.tech asks AI assistants the questions your customers would ask and checks whether they recommend your business. It then writes content aimed at the answers you are missing. To learn more, read AI Searchability: Get Recommended by ChatGPT.
Accuracy and trust: how goodSEO.tech avoids making things up
The biggest worry with AI-written content is that it invents things about your business. goodSEO.tech handles this in three ways:
- Your own Knowledge Base. Every draft is checked against a Knowledge Base built from your website pages and anything you add.
- A second AI as a checker. It blocks unverified claims.
- Rewrite, don't publish. A draft that states something unverified about your business fails the quality check and is rewritten instead of published.
The Google connections are read-only, and there is nothing to install.
How to tell if it is working
goodSEO.tech shows before-and-after traffic for each published piece, taken from Google. Each connection has its own job:
- Google Search Console finds the opportunities.
- Google Analytics shows whether visits and conversions move afterwards.
