ContentShake
Semrush's AI article writer, backed by its keyword and SERP data.
ContentShake AI is Semrush's content tool, and its advantage is the data behind it. It pulls keyword and SERP insight from the Semrush platform, suggests topics with real demand, drafts SEO articles, then lets you optimize, generate images and publish to WordPress. For existing Semrush users it slots neatly into an established SEO workflow. The catch is that it is most compelling inside that ecosystem: standalone it is a flat $60 a month, the article allowance is modest, and Semrush is folding it into a broader Content Toolkit, so confirm exactly what you are buying before you commit.
