Chose SurferSEO
Surfer is designed to automate the process of content optimization. The team behind it is continuously working to add more features to improve this.
Chose SurferSEO
Semrush's content and page optimisation tool is quite poor; it's not in the same bracket as Surfer.

Frase is a good alternative from a cost perspective (if not paying the AI writing functions), it's cheaper, and Frase's keyword/topic heatmaps are quite unique.
Chose SurferSEO
Frase gives a lot of content to use, but it doesn't give you the factors you need to rank. This is ultimately why we use SurferSEO over any other editor tool that is out there. The analytics are number one to the entire space.

Anyone looking to update or add long form content on their website would greatly benefit from using Content at Scale! I can't imagine not using it for our business. Keep in mind you will need to edit what it produces. In our experience we could not have published without editing. They offer great resources to assist you with the best way to edit and ways to use the tool in general

SurferSEO is a powerful and technical SEO tool for any writer to rank on Google. It would be too much information, even overwhelming at times, for someone who has never had experience with this kind of work before, but there's tons of detailed knowledge available when it comes to understanding the features that are most relevant while still meeting your goals in mind.

  • There was some trouble when the Shopify Integration was first launched. I think that has been resolved.
  • We are trying to use our custom tone. It seems to have trouble with that. I may need to seek more instruction on how to instruct it properly.
  • There have been times when replies from support were too slow for our time lines.

Jasper was a great tool, but I was looking for a more one shot solution to producing long form content than Jasper provided. I've produced a huge variety of other kinds of content with Jasper, including a book!, but it took a bit more effort.

Semrush's content and page optimisation tool is quite poor; it's not in the same bracket as Surfer. Frase is a good alternative from a cost perspective (if not paying the AI writing functions), it's cheaper, and Frase's keyword/topic heatmaps are quite unique. Sufer has a better UI and a shorter learning curve. It has an advantage in that it offers internal linking recommendations, which Frase lacks. Surfer also has limited competitor analysis (backlinks and page speed), which Frase does not. Both tools allow you to choose the number of competitors on the SERPS
