Surfer SEO

Surfer SEO is a content intelligence platform designed to help you write articles that rank higher in Google search results. Think of it as your personal SEO coach that watches what your competitors are doing and gives you a step-by-step guide to beat them.

The tool works by analyzing the top-ranking pages for your target keyword and breaking down exactly what makes them successful. It looks at things like word count, keyword usage, headings, and content structure. Then it gives you real-time suggestions as you write, telling you which keywords to include, how many images to add, and even how long your article should be.

Founded in 2017 in Poland, Surfer has grown to serve over 150,000 customers worldwide. The platform uses machine learning and natural language processing to provide recommendations that are always based on current Google ranking factors, not outdated SEO practices.

Getting started with Surfer SEO is straightforward and doesn't require technical expertise. First, sign up for an account and choose the plan that fits your needs. You can start with their 7-day money-back guarantee to test the platform risk-free.

To optimize content, begin by entering your target keyword into the Content Editor. Surfer will analyze the top-ranking pages and create a content brief with specific guidelines. You'll see recommended word count, keywords to include, number of headings, and suggested images.

Here's how to get the best results:

• Write directly in Surfer's editor or use their WordPress plugin

• Follow the real-time content score as you type

• Include the suggested keywords naturally throughout your text

• Add the recommended number of headings and subheadings

• Upload images based on the tool's suggestions

• Use the SERP Analyzer to understand what makes competitors successful
