April 20, 2022

Pros

It was very simple to set up content editors, and then implement optimised content for our blog.

Cons

The keyword planning tool isn't as good as one other services. But I am sure will get better with time.

Love it

Pros

Relevant and rankable suggestions, new features being introduced over time

### "Incredibly Useful Tool"

May 26, 2021

5.0

Really love this program overall in its existing state. Customer service is great and the developers are always looking for way to improve and creating helpful integrations. It will be exciting to see where the program goes from here. I’m along for the ride!

Pros

I really love the Content Editor of this software. As a person who is still learning SEO, this tool is incredibly useful for optimizing my blog posts for ranking on Google. It’s straightforward and extremely easy to use.

Cons

One place I would like to see improvement is with the keyword research tool. The tool is great at making you aware of search volumes, but it’s be nice to see an analysis of keyword difficulty. I often try to find keywords with decent search volume and low competitive difficulty so I can rank for those topics.

Pros

I love how it analyzes the SERPs and tells me exactly what I need to do to rank for specific keywords.

Cons

There's not much in the way of tracking. I wish it would actively track content to show you how it improves over time.

### "Great tool for optimizing articles"

May 25, 2021

5.0

Pros

Surfer makes it very easy to evaluate your articles against the top ranking articles on Google and see the areas that you can focus on improving your articles. They are also constantly updating the software, and their team is very receptive to customer feedback.

Cons

Sometimes, the SERP Analyzer and Content Editor show different results for the top ranking articles in Google for a given keyword (and this can also differ from what you actually see if you type in the keyword to Google or use a tool like Ahrefs to also evaluate the keyword).
