Surfer SEO

Overview

Search has changed. Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity for answers before they ever click a link. Surfer SEO gives you one platform to write, optimize, and track content across all of them. The tool analyzes over 500 web signals in real time and scores your content so you know exactly what to fix before you publish. You get a Content Editor that tells you which topics to cover, how long your article should be, and which keywords to include. Built-in AI writing, plagiarism checking, internal link suggestions, and keyword research all live in one place. Surfer connects to WordPress, Google Docs, and Zapier, so it fits the tools you already use. More than 150,000 businesses and teams use Surfer daily, including Shopify, FreshBooks, and ClickUp.
