### "Surfer is Awesome - Best SEO tool on the market"

June 3, 2022

5.0

Overall experience is great, Surfer helps me seo optimize old content, create seo optimized new content and audits my whole website. This is an all in one SEO tool

Pros

Surfer takes all the guess work out of SEO optimization for content. Surfer takes me from guessing to pro in seconds.

Cons

Nothing I dislike about it. Its power and simple to use.

Reason for choosing Surfer

Because it shows you keywords per articles and shows your score increase as you add keywords.

### "Best On-Page SEO tool so far"

August 30, 2021

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use and you don't even need to read a tutorial to start using it. The way it groups keywords into topics. The speed of ranking after implementing suggestions.

Cons

This is from another person who reviewed the product but reminded me of the little issue: when you use multiple keywords, whether in the audit or content creation tool, you cannot use commas to separate them. You need to use single lines, and if you hit enter by accident, you lost your credit point.

### "Most important on-page SEO tool"

December 28, 2022

5.0

I've been very pleased with the Content Editor. It integrates with different text editors like Google Docs and Jasper.ai.

Pros

By far the best feature is the Content Editor and the feature that it gives me keywords that I should use in my content. It's so useful that I can include the top ranking competitor pages from SERPs and it will automatically calculate which keywords should I use in headings and content. It will also tell me the rough frequency of the keywords.

Cons

There are many other features in Surfer SEO, but I don't use them that much. Because of the other features, the price tag is more expensive as well.

### "This is a really good tool for SEO and copywriting"

December 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Its user-friendly interface makes navigating through complex SEO tasks surprisingly straightforward, even for those less experienced. What truly sets it apart, in my opinion, is its data-driven approach, providing actionable insights that have significantly improved my website's search engine rankings. The Content Editor feature, in particular, has been a personal favorite, guiding me in crafting content that's not only SEO-optimized but also engaging for my audience.

Cons

It would be useful to monitor projects in the company along with ongoing keyword analysis

### "I love Surfer's Content Editor"

September 21, 2022

5.0

I have been combining Surfer SEO with Jasper and have been able to write 3 blog articles a week with many of them ranking on Page 1 of Google. Awesome!!!

Pros

I have recently started writing blogs on my website. By using Surfer's Content Editor I have been able to get many of my articles on Page 1 of Google for my keywords. Within a month, I have ranked and in a couple places I am now #1 or 2. I am a small niche but have been surprised how quickly my articles have ranked.

Cons

I am still somewhat confused about the Audit and SERP Analyzer, mostly because I am new to SEO. Not Surfer's fault, just my own lack of knowledge. My goal is to get Surfer Certified so I will be better informed about how to use those tools.

### "Useful, Intuitive Keyword Research Assistant "

July 13, 2022

5.0

Very positive.. It's useful to integrate into a team's workflow to keep the bases covered with respect to the competition out there.

Pros

Very easy to use, easy to implement into a content team, resolves a lot of ambiguity when it comes to researching terms to cover in an article, and fills in the gaps between a content brief and data. The content planner is a hidden gem. It generated 50 really great content item ideas in seconds.

Cons

No issues. I think that the only thing I'd like to see here is more customizability in the number of content editing credits in the pricing structure, but at this price point, I'm very happy with what we have, and the auditor helps fill in the gaps when we run out of credits.

### "One of the best SEO tools out there"

May 25, 2021

5.0

These SEO tools making my work so much easier and effective.

Pros

Surfer SEO has some unique tools and I have used them all to bring my clients websites on the first page of Googles Search Result Pages. I love the Content Planner and Content Editor tools. The SERP Analyzer is also one of my main SEO tools for onpage optimization.

Cons

The backlink data is not very good, but I think they are working on it and if they improve it in the surfer style way I am excited about what they will give us in the end.

### "Surfer helps you ride the Google Wave"

April 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

The best thing about surfer is that it gives you the right information and words to use when writing your articles, you can use surfer to write a great article and then surfer tells you want you can do to optimise it. There are things that you wouldn't have know if you didn't write using this tool that would leave you on the final pages of google.

Cons

After doing content audits and content editors you can't download all of the links at once, you have to do it manually one by one.

June 15, 2021

excellent!

Pros

It's so accurate, under promises and over delivers.

Cons

No complaints as such. There is no keyword difficulty checker that's forcing us to pay for another software subscription but this is not going to be an issue, looks like it is in the list of product updates.

### "Fantastic Tool to Help Your Business"

June 5, 2022

5.0

Fantastic once you understand the functionality and the jargon for SEO. It’s a solid platform and has helped me tremendously over the past few months.

Pros

The software is excellent in tracking keywords and suggesting missing keywords to help improve your rankings.

Cons

The only thing I don’t like is that your unused search credits don’t roll over.

### "Surfer SEO is Perfect!!"

June 14, 2021

5.0

Pros

For our business we use the content editor, audit, serp analyzer and keyword research most often and let me just say how useful all of those tools are! They help you get your SEO work done faster and more efficiently while optimizing your content fully. I love how it ranks you against your competitors and shows you how many keywords or phrases you need to implement to rank for them.

Cons

Sometimes the interface is a little clunky but overall, perfect.

February 19, 2022

5.0

Where have you been all my life! This is a great software and when you pair it up with other AI tools like Jasper it delivers the knockout punch I have been looking for!

Pros

I love surfer especially the content editor. It enables me to be really targeted with my keywords and beyond when I write posts. I take it as a personal challenge to get above 90 every time!

Cons

The limitations of the Content Editor. They don't do a good job or aren't clear what to do when you need more credits. It is so easy to use them up if you plan on posting quite a bit of blogs.

It's extremely easy to push out great content with Surfer and get insights on how to optimize it better!

Pros

How easy it is to see how my blog posts are doing from a point system 1-100. Plus I can audit my current blog posts on the website as well to see how they are doing.

Cons

I don't like the price. I'll always appreciate a cheaper price :D
