SEOquake vs. SurferSEO

SEOquake is a great tool to use alongside Semrush with the quick data that it provides on the search results page it's helpful to make quick decisions. The ability to change the SERP locale is also really nice as it helps us analyze the search results page from different locations.

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

• Gives a ton of SEO info in one area. I usually have to use a few different Chrome extensions that show different areas to get the full picture that this tool gives you up front.
• It gives you info on ways to improve the infrastructure of your website.
• It's free for the first 100 pages of audit.

• Analysis for on-page ranking factors

• The high-level parameters are nice to see, but for a new-to-the-tool person, they are confusing and don't provide a lot of explanation, unfortunately.
• The keyword density section is somewhat helpful but gives the density in a percentage without rationale as to what an average percentage is or what the website should aim for.

Incentivized

• AI Writing: This is a new feature, and in comparison to alternatives it's poor both from a pricing and result perspective
• Monthly Pricing: Surfer used to a clear value for money solution, it's somewhat pricing out solo-operators with the current pricing model
• Backlinks: Surfer does have a backlink crawler, but it's quite limited

SEOquake provides more information regarding backlinks and traffic in general whereas other tools focus more on keywords and their search volume. The backlinks information it provides is also really useful in making quick decisions on which site we can focus on more when it comes to searching for backlink opportunities.

Frase gives a lot of content to use, but it doesn't give you the factors you need to rank. This is ultimately why we use SurferSEO over any other editor tool that is out there. The analytics are number one to the entire space.

• It helps promote a positive return on organic results. I have seen a 5% increase since using the program of organic search results only.
