### "This is SEO Optimization"

May 28, 2021

5.0

Everyone talks about SEO optimizing articles, but I was never 100% clear on what that meant. Surfer basically tells me for each keyword what keywords I need to include to make it SEO optimized (i.e. with the best chance of ranking on Google)

Pros

Super easy to use. Covers all the main SEO keywords. Great for inspiration as to what to write / add / edit. Good price vs competition.

Cons

Despite it being good value vs competition it's still expensive. Occasionally the interface has confused me for a short while.

### "Great tool for content planning and blog optimiation"

September 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

Surfer is easy to use and does a great job at creating content plans and grouping like content together with information on views per month and ranking difficulty.

Cons

When you first get started it can be a bit cumbersome to figure out how it all works together but after watching their tutorial videos it all clears up pretty quickly.

### "The SEO boost you didn't know you needed"

October 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I am particularly in love with the content editor. As a bad writer myself, this helps me use the right keywords in order to get ranking content

Cons

I wish there was an ability to buy credits as needed and not a monthly upgrade pack. Sometimes you just want 1-2 more credits for the month and not an entire overhaul of your current plan.

### "Great tool for SEO's"

June 17, 2021

5.0

So far, we are loving the tool and would highly recommend it to colleagues and peer group. Very easy to use

Pros

The ability to filter "like kind" article to set your comparative assessment for the content editor gives clarity when writing at various content lengths.

Cons

paste feature from MS word could use a little improvement to keep formatting consistent when pasting into the content editor.

Switched from

[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/)

Well, we still use SEMrush for technical SEO but the content tools are a bit lacking compared to Surfer, really the content length comparative ability combined with the NLP suggestions is something I haven't seen anywhere until Surfer.

### "Good product but pricey and limited "

January 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

I enjoy how simple it is to use and how nicely the user interface is created.  

Cons

For $60 a month, I would expect to get more credits than 10.  Also, because the credits are so limited, you ended up needing another tool to help with SEO, instead of SuferSEO being the only tool you need.  Also, the training that SuferSEO should be offered more often or on-demand.

### "Most comprehensive SEO Tool"

October 26, 2021

5.0

Excellent product and will continue to use throughout the entire year

Pros

I like that it allows me to create a piece of content from the planning phase right to the content editing, start to finish.

Cons

The team is always developing new things and could improve even more in providing great keywords to be used in the content editing phase to be included in increasing content score.

February 6, 2023

4.0

Best SEO optimizing tool I've used so far

Pros

It's more accurate than a previous tool I used, when optimizing for keywords, I know exactly which terms to add more and which ones to decrease. It gives me a better direction when editing an article.

Cons

It can be a bit expensive. I wish there was a way I can purchase single credits.

### "I can't believe the hours I've wasted writing SEO content from scratch"

January 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

With Surfer SEO, you can easily create blog articles, service pages and product pages, while spending half the time, that are optimized for search engines. It saves you hours of time and helps you avoid writing multiple articles.

Cons

That you only receive a limited amount of content edits a month, I understand why but please give new users 1-2 extras for free so they don't have to waste any like I did while trying to learn the web app.

Alternatives considered

[Yoast SEO](https://www.capterra.com/p/219202/Yoast-SEO/)[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/)

Reason for choosing Surfer

I could create articles better and faster with Jarvis.ai

### "A must-have Powerful SEO Tool"

May 28, 2021

5.0

With Surfer, I was able to get a really detailed report about my competitors content which further helped in developing better content. I highly recommend using this tool.

Pros

An amazing tool that provides a lot of data to rank the content high on Google. I've actually outranked a few of the tough competitors of my clients by using its data-driven recommendations. I really liked the content editor and SERP analytics.

Cons

Nothing.. I think this is a perfect tool and I'm really happy with its features.

### "Awesome, Awesome Product"

November 18, 2021

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it is to get really high-quality data combined with an incredible UI/UX. Writing high-quality, keyword-rich content has never been easier.

Cons

The one negative is that some of the features can occasionally take a while to load, but this is expected when you're dealing with the quality and quantity of the data you're getting.

It's a great tool. I plan to use it for a long time to come.

Pros

It's extremely easy to optimize your blog posts and articles for Google and other search engines. I primarily use it for the Content Editor functionality.

Cons

I would prefer if the tool didn't limit the number of content editors that you have access to on a monthly basis.

Pros

Wow... terrific tool! My coaching clients are using this with Jarvis for amazing results. Here's a video I posted to help them get started: \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] One of my clients built a rank and rent website and was getting no response... after updating the copy based on Surfer... they are getting 3-4 calls per day!

Cons

Pictures are a little tricky to upload... but doable.
