SEO & Growth Tools
Surfer SEO
Scores a draft against the pages already ranking for the term.
Surfer reads the pages ranking for a keyword and turns what they cover into a checklist for your draft, which makes on-page optimisation concrete. It is a writing and optimisation tool rather than a full SEO suite, so backlink and technical work still needs another product.
