    • Sometimes it stuck while using it and there should be more adjustments and custom reports when it comes to reporting the results
    • Chrome extension is not somehow working properly. happened to me twice and then it was resolved. Annoying when you have to wait

    Alternatives Considered
    Surfer
    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
