# Semrush MCP

Alternative third-party site audit when no Ahrefs project exists for the domain.

Call pattern: discovery → `get_report_schema` → `execute_report`.

## Key report

- `siteaudit_research` — site-wide audit catching redirect chains, parameter URLs, thin content, broken links

## Example

```
mcp__semrush__siteaudit_research(query="<domain>", database="us")
mcp__semrush__get_report_schema(report_id="<id>")
mcp__semrush__execute_report(report_id="<id>", params={...})
```

## When Semrush is useful here

- No Ahrefs Site Audit project — Semrush is the quickest alternative.
- User is already in Semrush context.
- Cross-vendor verification of orphan / redirect-chain counts.

## Not for this skill when

- **Actual bot behaviour at the origin** — server access logs (Nginx/Apache/CloudFront) only.
- **First-party Googlebot crawl stats** — GSC.
- **Korean bot analysis** (Yeti/Naver, Daumoa/Kakao) — Semrush underrepresents these. Use logs.
- **An Ahrefs project already exists** — prefer Ahrefs `site-audit-*` for historical continuity.
