Surfer SEO
Surfer SEO helps marketing and SEO teams rank in Google and get cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It ties research, writing, auditing, and monitoring into one closed-loop workflow so you can see where you win, where competitors get mentioned instead, and what to fix next.
Unlike all-in-one suites that spread across ads, social, and backlinks, Surfer narrows on content signals that drive rankings and AI citations. Its Content Score reverse-engineers 500+ on-page factors from live SERPs, then feeds those targets into the Content Editor while you write. That focus trades breadth for depth: you will not run PPC campaigns here, but you get daily AI prompt tracking and rank-drop alerts that generic SEO dashboards often skip.
Agencies, in-house content teams, and SEO specialists use Surfer for blog clusters, SaaS docs, and e-commerce catalogs. Customers include ClickUp, Hostinger, Bolt, and Planable, with the company reporting 150,000+ marketers on the platform and 800,000+ users worldwide.
