Phew, this will be a longer one, so get your coffee ready.

Our goal for 2024 is to make Surfer even more useful and valuable to writers, marketers, and SEO experts around the world and I think we're on the right track (if I do say so myself) 🤠

May is packed with releases - and let me tell you, June will be even better 👀 To make things easier to digest we're bringing back Academy with our co-founder Michał Suski 👇

📆 May 28th, 6 PM CEST

📆 June 10th, 7 PM CEST

Missed the date or can't join live? No worries, we will share recordings on the Academy page 💪

Ok, let's jump to the exciting news I have for you ❤️

Starting strong, we have the AI Detector and AI Content Humanizer (AI Humanizer in short) - a free tool that will help you detect and humanize any AI content.
​

The free version has a limit of 500 words, people with a Surfer account but without an active subscription will have a limit of 5,000 words, and Surfer users can enjoy up to 50,000 words per month!

Spread the word and share it with fellow writers and AI enthusiasts - with every humanized article we're improving the digital space for everyone ❤️

PS. We're working on embedding it natively within the Surfer app as soon as possible for all Surfer users - expect more updates in June! Oh, and the app version will work even better (obviously). 😉

We've been working for a while on making content planning easier and more intuitive for you and the results are finally here 👉 enter: Topic Explorer.

If you were in the early-release group, you've probably already noticed that the Keyword Research tool in the app's navigation changed its name to Topic Explorer.

I'll walk you through the most important changes 👇

The Topic Explorer tab is now essentially a hub for all of your content planning resources: Domain Maps, Topical Maps, Keyword Researches, and soon CSV Clusters.

From here you can browse through your existing projects, as well as create new ones.

Don't worry, Topic Explorer is more than just a design refresh, so let's go through the goodies one by one:

And finally, we added a new language to Surfer AI - Italian! 🇮🇹
​
To recap, you can use Surfer AI to generate ready-to-rank articles in 11 languages: English, German, Dutch, Polish, French, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and now also Italian.

More languages are bound to come but there is no set timeline yet.

The Outline Builder (and Insert Outlines) you know from Content Editor just got a significant rework and now looks very similar to AI outlines (with bullet points!).

Soon, you will be able to connect your Google Search Console and get a real-time audit of your domain’s health. From monitoring your content's performance to suggestions on best SEO opportunities and notifications with action plans when your position in SERPs drops, Content Audit will save you lots of time and help focus on what matters most: ranking.

First iteration of Content Audit will be available to all Surfers on June 10th and included in all subscriptions at no additional cost.

There will be also a live demo on June 10th, 7PM CEST time with our co-founder Michał Suski. RSVP here.

We are working on expanding the Domain Map with Best opportunities that will highlight the most impactful topics and clusters to help you with workload prioritization.

Soon we will auto-generate SEO-optimized AI meta titles for all your articles to make the publishing step a bit easier on you.

We'll add a way to edit anchor text and URLs for all links we include in your articles.

The final piece of collaboration features - comments, mentions, and notifications about responses - is already available to a subset of Surfers and is planned for a full release in June. This, combined with previously released features such as versioning history and real-time article co-creation, should make your content creation a whole lot easier. 😌

Elementor will mature out of Beta in a matter of a few weeks and will be switched to a stable version. So, if you're using the Elementor editor on WordPress, make sure you have our Surfer plugin installed and send over a word on how you like the integration!

Too much of a good thing is a real deal, so I'll stop here 😅
