## About

Comprehensive toolkit for SEO, keyword research, and competitive analysis

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. As early as July 2025 the company replied that, as a U.S. firm, it could not serve Syrian search data, citing sanctions. A community volunteer re-engaged in May 2026, noting the platform itself is unreachable from Syria and citing the lifting of sanctions; the company confirmed the platform-level block, said it had escalated the matter to its legal team, and continues to monitor developments, but gave no commitment or timeline.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-27 — Company Responded. Semrush's customer support team responded again, confirming that the official references and regulatory context provided had been shared internally to be taken into consideration as part of any ongoing review. The response stated there were no additional updates beyond what the legal team had already shared, that Semrush continues to monitor Syria-related sanctions and regulatory developments, and that any policy, compliance, or platform accessibility decisions would need to go through internal review. This is a human response with no commitment or timeline.
- 2026-05-26 — Company Responded. Semrush's customer support team responded confirming that, beyond the existing limitation on Syrian search data, access to the Semrush platform itself is not currently permitted from within Syria under their compliance and regulatory restrictions. The support specialist stated they had reached out to their legal team to ask whether there are any plans to review or potentially lift all existing restrictions, including the platform access limitation. This is a human response, but no timeline or commitment was provided.
- 2026-05-25 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer re-engaged Semrush's support team to follow up on the restriction affecting Syria, asking whether the policy on Syrian search data could be reassessed in light of the recent lifting of U.S. sanctions. Over the exchange the volunteer also raised that the Semrush platform itself appears inaccessible from within Syria without a VPN, a broader barrier than search-data availability alone, and shared official references including the White House revocation of Syria sanctions and the U.S. Treasury OFAC announcement, requesting that the matter be escalated to the relevant legal, compliance, policy, or executive teams.
- 2026-01-25 — Evidence Added. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/nu1o9t0zbtr13m5ijrzl6pvu/o36xsctf64h4wbcdulhbbi1x-jo01pe35opytprz4aci1g6gj-semrush-403.png)
- 2025-07-02 — Company Responded. Semrush's Customer Support team replied to a community member's inquiry about access from Syria. The support specialist confirmed that, as a U.S.-based company, Semrush is obligated to comply with international regulations and U.S. government policies, which they stated currently prohibit access to search data originating from Syria. The support team acknowledged the user's reference to the partial sanctions lift announced for June 30, 2025, and said the feedback had been forwarded to the relevant internal department for further review and consideration. No concrete timeline or commitment to unblock was provided. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/zcnm65c528bxux3pxh2bej4z/dby6immvqqt0fnfe0hwe390y-scr-20260526-cbdd.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
