Semrush and Search Console, pointed at the same rankings.
Search Console knows what you really rank for. Semrush knows how hard the fight is and who else is in it. Patricia reads both and tells you which pages to push, not just which ones exist.
@Pati which of Northwind's queries are close to page one and actually worth pushing? Cross the Search Console positions with Semrush difficulty.
Pulled 23 queries sitting in striking distance, positions 8 to 20 in Search Console. Filtered to the ones Semrush says are winnable at Northwind's Authority Score:
- "b2b content strategy": position 8.4, 4,900 impressions a month, difficulty 24, no competitor running away with it
- "content marketing framework": position 11.2, difficulty 19, one refresh and internal link away from page one
- "saas content agency": position 6.9 but 2.1% CTR, the title is the problem, not the ranking
Start with the top three. What is holding each one back?
The first two are thin against the pages ranking above them, they need depth, so I drafted a refresh brief for each with the subtopics the top results cover and Northwind does not. The third does not need new content at all, the page ranks 6.9 but the title buries the keyword, so a rewrite is the whole fix. Briefs are in the report, nothing published, your call on the title.

What Semrush and Google Search Console do together.
Each is useful alone. Joined, they answer the question neither can on its own.
Find striking-distance queries by crossing Search Console positions with Semrush difficulty
Search Console shows the queries sitting at positions 8 to 20. Semrush says which are winnable at the client's authority and which a competitor already owns. She joins them so the shortlist is rankings you can actually move, not a wish list.
Fix low-CTR pages that rank well but nobody clicks
A page at position 6 pulling a 2% click-through is a title-and-meta problem, not a ranking problem. She surfaces the high-impression, low-CTR queries from Search Console, checks Semrush for the intent behind them, and flags the rewrites worth making before you touch content.
Catch content decay before a page slides off page one
Impressions and average position drifting down in Search Console, confirmed against a ranking slide in Semrush, is decay. She catches the pages losing ground month over month and hands you the refresh list while the rankings are still recoverable.
Spot keyword cannibalization when two pages fight for one query
When Search Console shows one query landing on two different URLs and Semrush shows both ranking, they are splitting the signal. She flags the cannibalization so you can consolidate or redirect, instead of watching both pages stall.
Turn a Semrush competitor gap into a brief Search Console can prioritize
Semrush finds the keywords competitors rank for and Northwind does not. She weighs each against the impressions Search Console already sees on nearby terms, so the content brief starts with the gaps that have real demand behind them.

FAQ
Semrush + Google Search Console, answered.
What does connecting Semrush and Google Search Console together let Patricia do?
She reads the real queries, impressions, CTR, and positions from Search Console and the difficulty, volume, and competitor gap from Semrush, then joins them. That is how a ranking becomes a decision: winnable striking-distance queries, low-CTR pages to rewrite, decaying pages to refresh, and cannibalization to fix. Neither tool tells you which is which on its own.
Does she change anything on her own?
No. Both Semrush and Search Console are read-only for her, so the analysis runs free. She drafts briefs and flags title rewrites, but publishing a change or resubmitting a sitemap waits for your yes in Slack.
Do I need both connected?
For the joined view, yes. Search Console is the ground truth on what you actually rank for, Semrush is the difficulty and competitor context around it. Each works on its own, this page is about what they do together.
Does this work across all our client accounts?
Yes. Connect each client's Semrush project and verified Search Console property, and every client's data stays walled off from the rest.
