Leading online visibility management and content marketing SaaS platform Semrush announced its acquisition of digital marketing publisher Third Door Media.
This includes Third Door Media brands Search Engine Land, MarTech, SMX, and Digital Marketing Depot, known for their contributions to search and digital marketing education.
This major move will help Semrush enrich its resources, content, and industry insights for marketers.
All Third Door Media brands will continue to operate as standalone brands.
A Strategic Partnership to Empower Brands and Marketers
This acquisition highlights a game-changing moment for the digital marketing and SEO world, uniting two powerhouse organizations.
As a result, both brands and marketers will have access to a wealth of enhanced resources and insights to strengthen their strategies and drive better results.
This will also integrate industry-leading content from Third Door Media's brands into Semrush’s educational platform while continuing to provide independent news and insights.
According to Semrush CMO Andrew Warden, Third Door Media's platforms will significantly expand the reach of their "world-class programming."
Third Door Media Founder Chris Elwell likewise expressed his excitement about the acquisition, sharing that by joining forces, they "plan to enrich [their] digital marketing education and content offerings."
While we can see Search Engine Land fans and readers expressing their concerns on social, the brand reassures them by saying that they still plan to be the same independent, trustworthy search news outlet they've always been.
Last August, Semrush acquired Exploding Topics to strengthen its market research capabilities and deliver deeper insights into industry trends.
