Surfer SEO

SEO content tool that scores drafts against top-ranking pages and guides keyword use, structure, and length as you write.

by Surfer

What it does

Surfer is a content optimization tool for search. Its core Content Editor analyzes the pages currently ranking for a target keyword and turns that into concrete guidance: terms to include, suggested headings, word count ranges, and a live content score as you write or edit.

Beyond the editor, Surfer offers keyword research, auditing of existing content, and AI-assisted article generation that produces drafts already aligned with its optimization guidance. Integrations with Google Docs, WordPress, and Jasper let writers work in the tools they already use.

Surfer is built around on-page SEO. Teams whose main needs are technical SEO, link building, or broad competitive research will need other tools alongside it.
