### "I finally understand SEO as a content marketing agency"

August 2, 2021

5.0

I am solving content strategy, filling in Gaps in SEO, and improving amount of traffic on clients sites.

Pros

It makes creating content strategies based on data incredibly simple, and gives me more tools for understanding what will drive value. I can't believe i wasn't using this before.

Cons

I literally can't think of anything other than I wish I had discovered this sooner.

Reason for choosing Surfer

It integrated with other tools I was using, and it was more focussed on an agency that doesn't want to become an SEO expert... they want to just get the value of SEO knowledge on how to practically improve your content and strategy

### "Finally a great tool for SEO newbies"

June 24, 2021

4.0

Great software, sometimes a little slow responding and I have lost content before. So I save it as I go. Generally, though, a great piece of software.

Pros

I love the Jarvis integration, the ability to monitor my internal link efficiency and, most of all, the way I can save time by creating topic clusters.

Cons

I am reliant on NLPs and I think I deserve more considering the amount I spend per month! :)

Alternatives considered

[Ahrefs](https://www.capterra.com/p/176340/Ahrefs/)

Reason for choosing Surfer

Cheaper and focus on content rather than analysis

### "Hard to fault"

August 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

The content editor is very useful, as is the SERP analyser. Content planner is also good for keyword research.

Cons

No way to automate filters you apply to SERP analyser to exclude irrelevant results from the analysis. Can be difficult to learn the SERP analyser.

### "Very Helpful Software"

October 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

The best thing I like about surfer as a new writer is the guided suggestions that it offers. I would find it difficult to try to analyze all of the competition and try to figure out what content to write in order to try and rank my articles.

Cons

I really am pleased with the software. I am sure someone that is deep in the weeds technically may find some weakness, but for me, I find surfer to be a very useful tool.

### "Surfer SEO"

August 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

Ease of use. Pleasant user experience - well thought out tool. It looks like they will be developing the tool to help more with planning content. I hope to see the Content Planner, which is in Beta at the time of writing, made more powerful as I want an integrated tool that takes me from planning to completed blog post.

Cons

I would like to see a wider choice of times offered for live trainings. I would like to see the number of queries available increased on the basic plan. This would allow me to write for other self-employed colleagues as a side-hustle.

June 3, 2021

It helped to rank the most important pages of the site, especially landing pages.

Pros

It helps you to use the most valuable words to improve your website's content based on your main competitors. This soft take out the words and phrases from them and helps you to create optimized content for Google. It is the easiest SEO tool I used for creating content. Easy to set up and simple to use.

Cons

The content editor takes out some words from the footer and header but it is ok because you can filter them through settings.

Pros

I love how Surfer helps me improve my blog post content. It compares my writing to the highest-ranked organic search results so that I can hopefully create something better than theirs.

### "Irreplaceable SEO tool"

October 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

The two best things about this product are its ability to help you identify clusters of keywords, and then its ability to help you write content to rank for those keywords.

Cons

Not much to complain about really. One small nitpick is that the Chrome extension doesn't always recognize headers in Google Docs, which leads to bad counts.
