We've been using Surfer SEO for 3.5 years now and have increased the volume of usage per month.

Initially, we started with it as an on-page optimisation tool to focus on increasing the volume of bi-product and semantic keywords we would appear for by inserting NLP keywords.

Whilst we still do this, we've increased use cases as the tool has evolved.

We now also use this for:
Keyword Research
Content Audits
Topic Cluster Planning
Competitor Analysis

We use this for our own projects, white-label SEO projects and consulting work for third parties.
  • Keyword Research: Not only does it find volumes (geos too), but it provides keyword intent and relative difficulty when connected to the domain's GSC.
  • On-Page Audits: It compares against competitors on the SERPS and factors in differences in page speed
  • Content Optimisation: As well as presenting NLP terms, it also suggests internal links
Cons
  • 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
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

  • Surfer has been a key tool in the past to help us rank many clients
  • We've been able to help clients reduce word count on pages that were stuffed or vice versa using Surfer
  • The results from using surfer on an article were easily seen within 3 months on average.
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

SurferSEO: the most powerful SEO copywriting and analysis tool in the space!

SurferSEO is an advanced analysis of the content copy in your website. It helps us determine what on-page factors are needed to rank our content at the top of search engines and plans a great strategy for online marketing using their "NLP Content Model." Their tool also has a built in SEO Auditor, which lets you know how well optimized each page is with backlinks that need work done as well.
  • Analysis for on-page ranking factors
  • Competition analytics
  • NLP Analysis for webpage content
  • Content SEO scoring
  • Content editor with details about what to rank for
  • Plugin that helps with search data on Google
Cons
  • Integrating better keyword data
  • Full Site SEO Auditor (independent of copy)
  • Technical Factor analysis
SurferSEO is a powerful and technical SEO tool for any writer to rank on Google. It would be too much information, even overwhelming at times, for someone who has never had experience with this kind of work before, but there's tons of detailed knowledge available when it comes to understanding the features that are most relevant while still meeting your goals in mind.

  • SuferSEO has helped us rank in the top 10 for results that are over 1M in search volume
  • SurferSEO gives our team the ability to rank quicker than without the tool
  • SurferSEO helps us close prospects by showing them the depth of our analysis and knowledge.
  • SurferSEO makes our agency look and feel like a professional that knows what they are doing
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.
