Business Challenge: Generate Higher Quality Leads
Many entrepreneurs and small- to medium-sized businesses do not use professional data and information analysis tools. What’s more, those that do may not have the expertise to use them effectively. Andres SEO Expert set out to leverage their SEO expertise and their knowledge of Semrush tools to set their agency’s services apart, while also generating more high-quality leads and increasing sales.
Because they were already familiar not only with Semrush but also with comparable SaaS platforms and agency partner platforms, Andres SEO Expert was well-positioned to take advantage of the benefits the Semrush Agency Partners Platform has to offer.
Solution: Become a Semrush Agency Partner
As experienced Semrush users, Andres SEO Expert was already familiar with the myriad ways Semrush tools could benefit their clients. They turned to the Agency Partner Platform to leverage that expertise to attract more, better quality clients.
Here’s how they did it:
1. Become A Semrush-Certified Agency

2. Create An Agency Partner Page
After becoming Semrush-certified, Andres SEO Expert then created an Agency Partner Page, in order to connect with Semrush’s global community of marketers.
The Agency Partner page is a dedicated landing page, which enables future clients to easily find trusted partners. It includes an agency’s contact information, areas of expertise, budget, pricing model, company size, background, and any other info helping users to choose a marketing partner.
Prospective clients can search for trusted agencies by services provided, industries, campaign budget, and promotion region. Then they can learn more about you on your Agency Partner Page and contact you directly.
