It depends on what you mean by content insights:
If you want insights about your own site’s content performance
Adobe Analytics is usually better.
It’s stronger for:
- On-site behavior: page views, scrolls, clicks, paths, events
- Segmenting audiences and journeys
- Attribution and conversion analysis
- Custom reporting for content tied to business outcomes
Best when you need to answer questions like:
- Which articles drive leads or purchases?
- Where do readers drop off?
- Which content paths lead to conversion?
If you want insights about content opportunities in search / competitors
Semrush is usually better.
It’s stronger for:
- Keyword research
- Content gap analysis
- Competitor content tracking
- SEO performance opportunities
- Topic clustering and search intent
Best when you need to answer:
- What topics should we create content around?
- What keywords are competitors ranking for?
- Which pages could we optimize to gain more organic traffic?
Simple rule
- Adobe Analytics = performance of content you already have
- Semrush = planning and improving content for SEO/discovery
If you’re choosing one for “content insights”
- Pick Adobe Analytics if your goal is measuring content engagement and conversion on your owned channels
- Pick Semrush if your goal is SEO-driven content strategy and competitive research
If you want, I can also compare them side-by-side for:
- editorial/content teams,
- SEO teams, or
- marketing analytics teams.
