Rank Ranger vs. SurferSEO

It is great for just tracking keyword performance. The other features are nice but are not the most useful when compared to other for robust tools. The easy-on-the-eyes interface and the fact that keyword data can be updated in less than 3 hours after a bulk upload are why this tool works for lower-maintenance websites.

Surfer is well suited for:

• 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

• Technical SEO
• Crawl Audits
• Serp / Keyword Tracking
• Project Management

• Can improve their algorithm to serve better for technical articles

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

While both are billed as keyword performance tools. Conductor is a much more robust tool and not totally necessary for lower-maintenance websites. Rank Ranger is perfect for our clients that simply need keyword tracking and reporting on a monthly basis whereas we utilize Conductor for in-depth content recommendations, on-page and competitor analyses.

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
