    1. If you are going to write any piece of content for your readers, it will be your great assistant!!
    2. If you want to cover a topic in entirety and from the angle of a reader, you should really go for it.
    3. It also brings you opportunities you can exploit by just integrating it with Google Search Console.

    Surfer has been excellent for us, a small company, to process the electrical resistivity, refraction microtremor, and MASW data collected in the field. There are an increasing number of programs capable of assisting in this geophysical analysis but Surfer is the most advanced. The ability to create both 2D and 3D figures in the program while managing data is a huge help. It also greatly improved report quality and helped clients better understand what the results were for a study.

    Pros
    Frase, Inc
    • Create outlines from pages that are already ranking for a particular keyword. It performs SERP analysis to find common headings and sections amongst the pages.
    • Generate content for different types of sections. You can also use custom prompt, or select of the pre-defined types to generate. For e.g., convert features to benefits.
    • Get detailed analysis of website SEO performance from Google Search Console. Find pages that quickly gain/loose ranks.

    • The interface is simple and easy/quick to learn, so that not much experience is needed to start generating maps.
    • The map layouts are easy to manipulate, change colors, scale, labels, contour interval, etc...
    • Simple but functional mathematical and logical functions allow for the calculation and manipulation of grids.

    • The user interface can be tricky at first. It's a little rough around the edges and takes a little time to get the hang of.
    • Not an ideal application for older employees. There are too many things with the interface that make it not worthwhile to train employees with less computer experience.
    • Manipulating data within Surfer is difficult because you have to do things in a certain order. Not terrible if you get the hang of it but certainly frustrating at first.

    Well MarketMuse and Frase may seem alternative to one another but we are using both of them in our workflow for different purposes. While MarketMuse is best for Topic Modeling, Frase gives you edge with competitive analysis like Headings, Questions and so on. So yeah some of their features overlap each other but as I told earlier, we are using both of them in complement to each other.

    Surfer is very unique with respect to its capabilities. I am not aware of any other mapping software that is at the same time flexible, has a friendly interface, and creates such nice-looking maps.

    • The worst thing about Surfer is the cost. My company can only afford one license at the moment which means only one employee gets to use it regularly. Not so great when someone is sick or you have a huge wave of projects.
    • The user interface is a little rough but younger employees have been great at catching on quickly and producing great images.
    • There's nothing else quite like Surfer. It's versatile and not to difficult to use so, though the licenses are expensive, it is an excellent program that has done wonders for our company!
