NL Nikhil L. Jr. SEO Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/13/2026 "Surfer’s SERP-Based Recommendations Make Content Optimization Easy" 4/5 What do you like best about Surfer? The most helpful thing that i like about Surfer is that it helps me optimize my overall content quality. With the recommendations based on the current SERP, Keyword inclusion gaps, and competitor gaps compared to our written content, i can optimize my content. I have been using this tool regular for my content and it has been very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? I one thing that i dislike about Surfer is the no option to edit the keywords after creating a surfer link. At times, we miss out on the opportunity to include new or missed keywords. Having an option to add that will help improve the tool a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? The problem that Surfer is solving for me is to improve the overall content quality score. Surfer helps me improve my content with all the recommendations based on keywords and the SERP. This comes in very handy for me to rank my content at the top of the SERP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: Organic KM Kristina M. Marketing and SEO specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/31/2026 "Clear, Practical Content Editor Recommendations That Speed Up SEO Writing" 5/5 What do you like best about Surfer? I like how the Content Editor provides clear, practical recommendations as I write. It helps with keyword coverage, structure, headings, and overall content quality without requiring a separate manual analysis. Overall, it speeds up the optimization process and helps us produce more complete, search-focused content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? Some recommendations can feel too formulaic, especially when trying to reach the suggested content score. You still need to use your own judgment to avoid overusing keywords or making the content sound unnatural. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? Surfer helps us understand what important topics, keywords and structural elements should be included in an article. This reduces manual research, speeds up content optimization and helps us produce more complete, search-focused content. It also gives writers clearer guidance and makes the review process more consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Key Account Legal Content Editor Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/21/2026 "Easy Integrations and Spot-On AI Suggestions for Better UX and SEO" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Surfer? It is easy to use and integrate with other writing tools like Grammarly, Word, Jasper, and other AI platforms. I learned a lot about UX and how to improve my webpages to attract SEO and AI search bots and optimize my content to be found and surfaced more often. The AI suggestions were spot-on and taught me where to place (or remove) keywords and how to improve the flow of my copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? My company paid for my subscription, so I don't know about the pricing. Some of the suggestions were not to my liking and felt like keyword stuffing. I wish it could help create more unique pages, since after a few edits, the content started sounding generic and duplicative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? I used Surfer to enhance and revise pages and blog posts that were underperforming. It allowed me to quickly edit and improve webpage content. Optimizing content for SEO and AI search is both science and art, and Surfer allowed me to try different approaches to take a good page and make it better. I saved a lot of time and could produce more improved pages each week than in the past. My production went up exponentially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the Content Editor, which makes it much easier to organize and structure the content I'm working on. The auto-optimise feature is a great backup after I've manually optimized as much as possible. Even though it requires some tweaking, it helps push the content that final step further. The Content Editor helps me clearly see what's missing and how to improve the structure, ensuring I'm not over- or under-optimizing. The auto-optimise feature is useful for fine-tuning the content, saving time, while still giving me control to adjust things so it fits our brand and goals. The initial setup was pretty straightforward and quick, allowing us to start using it almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? The one thing I'd love to see improved is more flexibility around topping up the Content Editor usage. Even though we haven't fully explored every feature in our plan yet, the Content Editor is what we rely on most, so having the option to top that up would be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Surfer for SEO content optimization, removing guesswork from SEO by providing clear guidance on keywords and structure, which helps optimize faster and with more confidence.

JK Jacob K. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/13/2026 "Solid Auto Optimizer, Poor Customer Service" 0/5 What do you like best about Surfer? I like the auto optimizer in Surfer. It's the only good thing they have going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? Their customer service is very, very bad. They can never get back to you to help you with any issues you may have. When they do get back, they are generic copy-and-paste solutions to which they do not respond. Their search volume information is very incorrect and almost always wrong. I do not recommend at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Surfer for creating content like blogs and site pages. The auto optimizer is the only good feature they have.

Admin Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/4/2026 "Surfer’s NLP Content Optimization Takes the Guesswork Out of On-Page SEO" 5/5 What do you like best about Surfer? The biggest advantage is Surfer’s NLP-driven content optimization and SERP-based recommendations. It removes guesswork from on-page SEO and helps writers, editors, and SEO teams stay aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Surfer? Pricing For beginners, there can be a short learning curve to fully understand how to use recommendations strategically rather than mechanically. Also, very competitive niches sometimes require additional manual SEO judgment beyond tool suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Surfer solving and how is that benefiting you? Surfer helps us solve the challenge of creating search-optimized content that actually aligns with how Google understands topics using NLP.
