### "Great service, but steep price"

October 18, 2022

5.0

Pros

Keyword research, content editor, and analysis of existing content are all top notch features.

Cons

The price is high and they don't provide enough credits at the lower tiers, making it very expensive to upgrade on a budget.

### "This tool does the job of improving your page ranking"

May 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

Surferseo is a great SEO tool that helps to rank your individual web pages. My pages did move higher in Google's ranking just with on-page efforts! It also has a good list of keywords for referencing where you can add them to your content. The team keeps improving the tool with some small features regularly.

Cons

I really hope that the pricing allows for more flexibility by moving unused NLP credits to the new month. I also hope they'll integrate with thrive themes and divi, which will make editing much easier, right at our own website. For content editor, it would be great if you could import existing content - we still have to copy and paste! It would also be excellent if there were a better outline structure suggestion. Right now, we still have to manually brainstorm and do research on the outline. Hope the team come out with better content blogs to help. Their current video training is too long, go straight to the point please.

### "Fantastic Software! "

May 23, 2022

5.0

I am amazed by how simple is to produce content that can rank very fast on Google. It would be almost impossible for me to reach the results we had without SurferSEO.

Pros

This software is simply essential to anyone who wants to work professionally in SEO. I love the Content Creator as it gives you guidelines to identify the best structure and keywords to include in your content.

Cons

Maybe it would be great to revise the keyword difficulty scores in the Content Planning as I feel they don't fully reflect the real one.

I like Surfer more and more each day because it makes my life a lot easier. Nice work, Surfer.

Pros

It's incredible. It's the perfect solution for our business. Not able to tell you how happy I am with Surfer.

Cons

Surfer has completely surpassed our expectations. Surfer is the real deal! Keep up the excellent work.

Reason for choosing Surfer

Surfer is the bomb! Surfer was the best investment I ever made. Surfer should be nominated for service of the year.

### "The best SEO writing assistant!"

October 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

I don't have much experience with Surfer. But that's why I can say that the main advantage is the ease of use and the good user interface! Very good instructions and informative articles. If I have difficulties or questions, the support service is always in touch. That is why I can complete any of my work tasks in the shortest possible time.

Cons

I haven't found any flaws with this software.

### "Great tool for optimizing content"

May 1, 2023

4.0

Pros

Surfer has an excellent content writing tool to write and edit articles and optimize them for Google SERP. The audit function is also helpful to optimize old articles.

Cons

The keyword tool is not as good as others, but it's easy to use, and the topic clusters are helpful.

### "Go to on-site optimisation tool"

June 1, 2021

5.0

Very positive, no complaints and the support team are great. There's lots of ongoing webinars and education available too.

Pros

I love how easy the user interface is and the data. Surfer completes complex tasks pulling from Google NLP API and presents it in a stupidly simple way. I also like the bonus feature (which I didn't sign up for), where Surfer shows the backlinks the competing URLs have. This is a nice feature. Surfer is continuously being upgraded every month, I keep on seeing new features such as the search console integration.

Cons

Sometimes the headers and images are not pulled into the editor.

### "Write Fully Optimized Blog Posts in Less Time with Surfer"

May 31, 2021

5.0

The team provide first class support - with a smile! Seriously, you could not wish for nicer people to provide such a vital product that is a toolbox essential for bloggers.

Pros

I've been using surfer for a couple of months now. Long enough to know that I would struggle to write without it now. The intuitive interface and visual representations make the process of writing an SEO optimized blog post so easy! I know when I've done enough, and not to go too far. The topic suggestions are gold!

Cons

There is honestly nothing for me to say that is negative about my experience with this software. It just keeps on giving!

### "SurferSEO: The BEST Addition to My Production Arsenal"

April 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

The Content Editor is hands down the best feature of this software. It exponentially has increased my productivity workflow and makes SEO optimization a breeze.

Cons

I reall really wish you got more for the money. The amount of Content Editor credits I get for $50 is a bit underwhelming. I would LOVE to see a special bundle come out with Jasper and Surfer.

### "My Experience with Surfer"

October 25, 2022

5.0

Overall surfer has integrated well and allowed me to write great content.

Pros

The content editor is a must have if you are posting articles. It helps you write highly optimized content to post.

Cons

I would like to have had a range of content editors between the 30 and 70 CE tiers. Luckily Surfer allows you to earn more CE's so that has helped with that problem.

### "SurferSEO Makes Blogging Effortless"

August 17, 2021

5.0

SurfeoSEO has completely transformed our blogging process and the quality of our blog articles. Our blog creation process is so much easier, the blog quality is higher, and it takes less effort for our writer to create good articles each week (which avoids them burning out or having writers block).

Pros

The way it groups and gathers keywords into topics and clusters making it so much easier to find article topics to write about and avoiding being repetitive. We have stopped using messy spreadsheets to track all our article ideas and keywords which makes this tool worth the price alone. The NLP feature is also very powerful so I'd recommend buying a plan with NLP credits.

Cons

Nothing major, it just takes a little time to learn the best way to use the tool. I highly recommend attending one of the free webinars as they show you how to use the tool properly (for us it was blogging) and what parts to focus on for best results.

### "Wouldn't Write an Article Without It"

October 31, 2022

5.0

I am writing articles for a beauty blog.

Pros

I love this software! It tells me exactly what I need to do to format my article and my keywords to get ranked on Google. I would be lost without it.

Cons

There was a little learning curve. It was overwhelming, but you can find tips and tricks to using it. I've attended Surfer trainings and gotten tips from colleagues on how to use it faster.

Reason for choosing Surfer

It was recommended by a colleague.

I am can publish articles that are SEO-optimized and that include best keywords.

Pros

Using it for shop SEO optimization. There is a brilliant content editor - it gives you ideas for content and headings and other SEO-rich tips - as well as a needle that tracks if you are doing well with your SEO.

Cons

I would like to have a little more credits for a price :)

### "Great SEO tool for content writers (from beginners to intermediate users)"

June 1, 2021

4.0

Still, it is now a solid and daily part of my writing process, and I would recommend Surfer to all SEO copywriters.

Pros

Surfer is very easy to use, and I believe that makes it ideal for beginners to intermediate users.

Cons

While it is impressive, some of the results are often irrelevant or incorrectly spelled, both in the headings area and in the general keywords.

### "Excellent for copywriting"

May 11, 2022

5.0

Very usefull tool for better copywriting and gaining position in the SERP from Google.

Pros

I like the AI based content editor which provides key information and gives you very usefull insights for better copywriting. Also the SERP analyzer gives me enough information how I can beat my competitors.

Cons

It would be great if Surfer SEO will coorporate with tools like Ahrefs or something to give SEOs the best of both sides.

### "If you have a small team and want to save time..."

February 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

If you have a small team of writers and you want to be sure that they are writing good content, and seo optimized, this software is going to save you hours of checking their job.

Cons

I don't have cons, but if I have to say one, maybe the price. Now I can afford the software, but few years ago, when I started, I was not generating enough money so I was not able to pay for software like this one.

### "SEO Surfer: Best online tool for SEO optimization"

July 29, 2022

Pros

Surfer removes all the guesswork from on-page SEO. Unlike other SEO tools, it tells you exactly what to do and gives you a wide range of recommendations and terms to use. I find Surfer easier to use than any tool I've ever tried.

### "Ranked first post in under 24 hours!"

December 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

Unlike other SEO tools that work for on page optimization, Surfer doesn't focus on keyword stuffing. It shows what to add as well as what to remove from content to better rank for specific terms. It is literally the anti-keyword stuffing software.

Cons

A little weird getting started. All features seem kind of similar but are different. Makes sense after a few hours of using though.
