    Overall, Otterly remains one of our core subscriptions and provides solid utility on an ongoing basis. We have tried a variety of competitive offerings and find Otterly does what we need, with a high degree of reliability. Most platforms list gaps, but with an unclear sense of how to prioritize what to do given what time and resources you might have to fuel impact.

    • Creating (and resisting) articles and web pages to increase their SEO relevancy for a keyword.
    • To identify NLP terms and the frequency of terms to be added to the page
    • To find internal linking opportunities
    • To plan pillar pages/topic clusters
    Surfer is not a tool for

    You can do a lot with the platform, and it takes a while to become familiar with it. We found that spending time with the Otterly team immediately increased our impact, and they were always quick to get back to us with answers to any questions. Because the platform can provide a ton of utility, it takes time to learn how to prioritize what you use it for, but it's worth it.

    Because, I've been using this tool since many years and I haven't looked for any other tool when it comes to content optimization

    Great - it's our preferred tool. We find enterprise solutions to be too complex and expensive. Otterly is affordable, the time-to-value is short, and it is getting better every week with the updates they keep rolling out. We will continue to evaluate alternatives, but so far, the rest are far away from displacing Otterly

    Semrush's content and page optimisation tool is quite poor; it's not in the same bracket as Surfer. Frase is a good alternative from a cost perspective (if not paying the AI writing functions), it's cheaper, and Frase's keyword/topic heatmaps are quite unique. Sufer has a better UI and a shorter learning curve. It has an advantage in that it offers internal linking recommendations, which Frase lacks. Surfer also has limited competitor analysis (backlinks and page speed), which Frase does not. Both tools allow you to choose the number of competitors on the SERPS
