The freemium version of SEMrush.com has traffic estimates too. <span>Over the years occasionally I checked its estimates with the traffic of my firm's bigger clients as shown by Google Analytics, and the estimates we're quite far off. I just put on my todo
list to do the same check for similarweb, though that todo list's height grazes the moon, so my team probably won't get to it for several weeks, in part because such information is rarely central to my firm's work.<br>

<div>This opens to the more general topic that the accuracy of the reports produced by digital marketing tool suites that are under $3,000/mo, and some that over that cost, have major inaccuracies. If they are consistently inaccurate, they can still be useful,
but I have not taken the considerable time needed to ascertain consistency of inaccuracy by which relative numbers would be useful.
