Editor's verdict
Semrush pays a flat amount per sale that depends on the product sold: $300 for Semrush One, $200 for the SEO Toolkit or the Traffic and Market Toolkit, $100 for the AI Visibility, Content and Advertising Toolkits, and $50 for the Social and Local Toolkits. It also pays $10 for each trial, and top-tier affiliates can reach up to $450 per sale.
The program runs on impact.com with a 120-day cookie and last-click attribution. Transactions lock 27 days after the end of the month and are paid 21 days after the end of the month in which they locked, by electronic funds transfer or PayPal.
Entry is gated. Semrush asks for at least 1,000 unique monthly visitors on a website or 1,000 organic followers on a social channel, and it declines coupon and cashback sites. Bidding on Semrush brand keywords, including misspellings, is not allowed.
