“Brass-SEO blew my mind! This is incredible! I struggle with this so much because I know there are so many confounding factors that go into SEO. I love that it gave me a few key reasons, and one other thing to think about — which I've already edited on our live site!”
Marketing Director, Silicon Valley commercial construction company

Semrush and Ahrefs charge agency rates whether you run one site or fifty. If you are a small business owner managing your own SEO, you are subsidizing a pricing model built for someone else. Brass-SEO is priced—and feature-tuned—for you.

The Math Is Simple

Semrush Pro
$129
/month
vs
Brass-SEO
$25
/month

That's $104/month — or over $1,200/year — you could put back into your business. And that's assuming you're on Semrush's cheapest plan. Ahrefs starts at $129/month too.

Before and After

Same goal. Very different experience.

Before — With Semrush
  • Log in to a dashboard with 50+ report categories
  • Click through Position Tracking, Site Audit, On-Page SEO Checker, Traffic Analytics...
  • Stare at tables of numbers without knowing which ones matter
  • Watch a tutorial. Read the documentation. Still unsure.
  • Close the tab. Come back next month. Pay $129 again.
After — With Brass-SEO
  • Open the chat. Type: “Why did my traffic drop last week?”
  • Brass-SEO pulls your GSC and GA4 data and explains what happened
  • Get a plain-English answer with specific pages and specific fixes
  • Know exactly what to do next. No interpretation required.
  • Pay $25. Do it again tomorrow if you want.

Need backlink analysis or competitor keyword databases? Semrush and Ahrefs are the right tools for that. Need to know what is wrong with your site and what to fix first? That is what Brass-SEO is built for.

How It Works

Three steps. About two minutes.

1

Connect Google Search Console

One click. Every keyword you rank for, every page's search performance, every trend on your site — live and ready for the AI to analyze.

2

Connect Google Analytics 4

One more click. Now the AI sees what happens after visitors land — which pages hold attention, which lose it, and where your traffic actually comes from.

3

Ask Anything

Type a question in plain English. The AI pulls your actual Google data, finds what matters, and tells you exactly what to do. No menus. No reports. No interpretation required.

11 One-Click Reports. No Setup Required.

Every report runs in seconds using your actual Google data. No configuration, no learning what each metric means — the AI explains the results in plain English and tells you what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to cancel Semrush to try Brass-SEO?

No. Most people run the 3-day trial alongside their current tool. Connect your Google accounts, ask a few questions, and see if it tells you something useful. If not, walk away having paid nothing. No cancellation required on either side.

Is it really this simple, or is there a catch?

The catch is what it does not do. No backlink database. No competitor tracking. No rank tracking for sites you do not own. If you need those things, Brass-SEO is not a full replacement. If you need to understand what is happening on your own site and what to do about it — that is exactly what it is built for, and it is genuinely that simple.

What if I need backlink analysis or competitor keyword research?

For backlink databases and competitor keyword research, Semrush and Ahrefs are the right tools — and we will be the first to say so. Brass-SEO is built for a different job: analyzing your own site's actual Google data and telling you exactly what to fix. Many users run both and spend less combined than a single Semrush seat.

Will I lose my historical data if I cancel Semrush?

No. Your Google Search Console and GA4 data lives in Google's systems — it does not disappear when you cancel a third-party tool. Brass-SEO reads directly from Google, so your full history is always available.

Is my Google data safe?

Yes. Read-only OAuth means we can only read your data, never modify it. Your Google credentials never touch our servers. Stored access tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM. You can disconnect at any time from your account settings.

Can I really cancel anytime?

Yes, with no friction. Cancel via the billing portal from your account settings — no cancellation fees, no retention forms, no “are you sure?” loops. If you cancel during your 3-day trial, you are not charged at all.

Do I need SEO experience to use Brass-SEO?

No. You ask questions in plain English — “why did my traffic drop?” or “which pages should I fix first?” — and the AI explains what is happening and what to do. No jargon, no learning curve.

Why do I need both Google Search Console and GA4?

GSC shows how your pages perform in search — rankings, impressions, and clicks. GA4 shows what happens after visitors arrive — bounce rate, engagement, and sessions. Brass-SEO cross-references both to surface insights neither tool shows alone, like a page that ranks well but sends visitors straight back to Google.

Your Google data has the answers.
Brass-SEO reads it for you.

Connect your Search Console and GA4. Ask your first question. If it does not tell you something useful in the first three days, you pay nothing.
