Case Study: StartupBlink achieves more accurate startup ecosystem insights with Semrush

Startup ecosystem research center uses traffic data to help startup owners choose the top location for building business

StartupBlink is a research center behind the world’s most comprehensive startup map and annual Global Startup Ecosystem Index Report, but it needed a better way to evaluate startup quality beyond basic location counts. To improve its ecosystem scoring algorithm, StartupBlink turned to Semrush for reliable traffic data and used the Semrush Trends API as part of its startup-friendliness analysis.

Semrush helped StartupBlink integrate qualitative traffic metrics into its scoring model, letting it measure which startups and locations attract the most online attention. The result was a more accurate, realistic startup ecosystem report with deeper filtering and segmentation, which helped StartupBlink strengthen its authority and win major consulting partnerships, elevating it to think-tank status.
