What's new? πŸ‘‡

Content Audit

Content Audit Beta is already available to all Surfers ❀️ From monitoring your content's performance to suggestions on best SEO opportunities and notifications with action plans when your position in SERPs drops (coming soon), Content Audit will save you lots of time and help focus on what matters most: ranking.

Here's Tom Niezgoda, our Head of Marketing, explaining how it works:

Content Audit is included in all Surfer plans, so if you haven't yet - go and give it a try!

Improved Insert Outline

We significantly improved the Insert Outline feature within Content Editor πŸ”₯ Now, when inserting outline you will get a comprehensive outline with headings, bullet points, and SEO terms already covered. πŸ‘‡

You can use it as a writing guideline for yourself or as a brief for any external writers you are working with.

Give it a try and let us know what you think; if you will be happy about this update, we will incorporate it into the Outline Builder πŸ‘Œ

Comments

Comments are available to all Surfers within Content Editor.

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. 😌

Version comparison in Auto-Optimize

We added a version comparison view with highlighted Auto-Optimize changes to make the final sanity check easier πŸ‘‡

πŸ’‘ Can't see it yet? Don't worry - we're gradually rolling out this upgrade and you'll get it soon!

Auto-Optimize credit boost

Auto-Optimize officially matured out of Beta and is now available in a stable version to all Surfers πŸŽ‰ To celebrate, we've increased limits for all users (including Legacy accounts) - click here πŸ‘ˆ

To all of you who already tried it and left feedback: thank you. We wouldn't be able to improve so quickly without you ❀️

And if you haven't yet, I highly recommend you try Auto-Optimize in Content Editor. It's the easiest way to optimize any article with a single click and significantly speed up your content work - as proven by Surfers that already use it on a daily basis 😌

To recap, you can use it to generate ready-to-rank articles in the following languages: English, German, Dutch, Polish, French, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Czech but we plan to add more languages in the future!

Humanizer improvements

We're constantly testing new AI models and Humanizer is no exception πŸ‘Š Aside from updating and refining the model, we also introduced Humanizer limits to all Surfer users (50k words per month with any active subscription) and moved it to the app, to make it easier to use.

Best opportunities in Topical Map

Tags in Topic Explorer

We know how important it is to organize your projects (especially when you're working on multiple domains at once) - that's why we'll be adding tags in all Topic Explorer projects soon. πŸ’†
