Carly P.

Carly P.

Accounts Administrator

“I have used Yoast SEO plugin for my Wordpress blog website and it has been very useful.”

Swagat G.

Founder and CEO

Pros

“The NLP (Natural Language Processing) keyword suggestions take the guesswork out of on-page optimization, and the seamless integration with Google Docs makes collaborating with freelance writers incredibly smooth.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Instead of guessing what Google wants to see, we now have a clear, data-backed blueprint for every article before we even start writing.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Some of Surfer’s recently launched features are pretty good, like topic explorer, keyword cluster planner, audit, and SERP analyzer.”

Ajay J.

Growth Marketing Lead

Cons

“Can be too picky, doesn’t always match real results, nags you a lot, premium features pushed too hard”

Kyshira S.

Digital Content Creator

“My only concern is its high premium price. When I write 10000 words article, number of focus keywords can go up to 15 to 18 which can be over optimized by google algorithm.”

Akshay K.

Sole Proprietor

“its almost TOO simplistic for some of the more advanced things I need to do on google but that doesn't make it inconvenient.”

Tyler B.

Digital Asset Manager

Cons

“Additionally, the sheer volume of keyword suggestions can sometimes feel overwhelming, and if you aren't careful, trying to hit every single keyword can make the writing sound a bit unnatural or forced.”

Eddie L.

SEO Specialist

“Planning with the topical map does not work in many languages, and it also lacks the capability to select the clustering level”

othmen a.

Marketing consultant

“Personally I don't use their own AI tools as I find the results a bit cheesy and more challenging to tailor for the markets I work in - very Americanised even when generating in other languages.”

Paul T.

Managing Director
