SEMRush’s Digital First AI comparison with Robotic Marketer – You will be surprised which AI comes out on top.

Today I was surprised that SEMRush was pushing an AI software to develop marketing strategies – note the plural. It’s finally happened when some sort of resemblance has come out of a competitor to Robotic Marketer so it is only natural we would do the deep dive. Actually, we asked ChatGPT to do the deep dive for us and this is what it came up with.

I would like to put five things across before you read further;

  1. Robotic Marketer produces a comprehensive marketing strategy that is at least 50 pages in length across all marketing tactics with inbuilt industry best practice and benchmarking.
  2. Content is written not based on just GPT-4 but the marketing strategy of the company.
  3. Robotic Marketer is the first all-in-one end to end AI powered marketing strategy platform and has been self-funded largely by the founder, Mellissah Smith.
  4. In 8 years, some real deep ML has occurred – which is key to performance.
  5. Robotic Marketer also integrates with SEMRush.

AI-Driven Marketing Strategy Provides highly detailed and customized marketing strategies, incorporating predictive analysis to map how each marketing tactic influences the sales funnel. Offers a complete suite including a comprehensive implementation plan, budget, and executive summary. Offers AI-generated marketing strategies, but they are more template-based with insights generated from a user's website URL, making it less comprehensive.
CRM & Sales Funnel Integration Deep integration with popular CRM systems, analyzing the entire sales funnel to provide sophisticated strategies that align marketing tactics with sales objectives. Predictive analysis gives insights into how marketing actions will impact sales. Integrates AI-driven tactics into the sales funnel but lacks the advanced CRM integration and predictive analytics that Robotic Marketer offers.

AI content generation focused on blog posts and social media, with ChatGPT-4 assisting in brainstorming and execution.

Also allows for custom data uploads that can be viewed on a digital dashboard and used in reporting and analysis. Limited integrations with a focus on SEMrush and basic data handling, lacking the extensive integration capabilities Robotic Marketer offers.
Analytics and Reporting Offers advanced reporting and analytics with in-depth insights, competitive benchmarking, and predictive analysis. Provides an easily accessible digital dashboard for viewing all integrated data. Basic analytics focused on marketing execution, with less emphasis on ongoing strategy optimization and competitor benchmarking.

Offers insights and tactics for execution but does not provide a fully detailed marketing plan, implementation steps, or budget guidance.
