From big updates like AI Humanizer, Content Audit, and Topic Explorer to smaller tweaks like fine-tuning Insert Outline, Auto-Optimize or Internal Links, the past three months have been a whirlwind of releases that made the Surfer community happy and us satisfied (see May's and June's product roundups).
Making our app fun and useful really sparks joy!
And, in a true Marie Condo fashion, it's time to clean up and reorganize and that's where our focus will be during summer 2024.
That said, I still have product updates for you. π But first:
No risk, no reward? π
Thankfully, with Surfer you can save money without risking your life (or career). π€
Join our co-founder MichaΕ Suski live on July 30th to find out how to maximize your Surfer ROI (and bathe in the cost-savings as a result). π
Formalities done, let's jump into this month's newsletter. π€
What's new? π
Humanizer rewrites and improved detection
Good news for all Humanizer users: you can now rewrite your text even 3 times to get the perfect result without consuming extra words from your limit and get the AI detection score for each version π
Data refresh indicators in Topic Explorer
For those of you who created any Topic Explorer at least a month ago, we added data refresh indicators: you can see how your covered articles and keywords in top 3, 10, 50 changed in the past 30 days. We also added the Impressions column, to give you more insights into your page performance and general overview.
Page search in Content Audit
Want to evaluate results of a specific page within your Content Audit? Forget scrolling, we added a handy search box to make it faster:
Full Elementor integration in WordPress
Good news: Surfer WordPress plugin fully supports Elementor! You can easily export any article directly to WP and Elementor at the same time (with formatting β€οΈ), while maintaining Surfer's guidelines.
And Marek (Surfer's plugin father) prepared a treat for you: a quick tutorial on how to use Elementor templates with Surfer!
Whatβs coming next? π
Custom voice in Humanizer
We've been teasing our work on custom voice from existing content with an ability to save it as a preset for a while now and here's a reminder we're still working on it π§ There is no set date of release yet but what I can tell you is that it will first be available within the Humanizer, and once we perfect it, we'll scale it to Surfer AI too. π
Content Editor comments directory
Comments in all Content Editors are live (try it if you haven't yet, they are really handy)! And, to make comment management easier, we're working on a comment directory on the Content Editor dashboard to allow for browsing comments from all Content Editors from a single place.
Smart insights in Topic Explorer and Content Audit
We know from your feedback, that finding the best topics in Topic Explorer is not as straightforward as we'd all like it yet. So, we're developing smart insights that will help you make informed decisions when choosing the next best step.
This project will take a while (we want to ensure personalized and quality recommendations) but I it will be worth waiting for. π€
More context and customization for Topic Explorer
Another commonly raised user request we're already working on is adding more context and customization to Topical and Domain maps to increase relevancy of both.
Topical Authority Score
We're continuing our work on Topical Authority Score and could really use your opinion on what matter the most! π£οΈ
Here's a prototype you can play with: Topical Authority POC
After that, book a call with Jakub (Topic Explorer's father) to share your thoughts and help us understand your needs better. πͺ
Custom choice of pages in Content Audit
Many of you expressed a need for customizing and expanding the URL list within Content Audit and it did not go unheard - we're working on a solution for you!
Highlighted Internal Links changes
Last month we added an easier way to preview and edit all anchors from Auto Internal Links and now we're working on adding colorful highlights, so they are easier to find once inserted. π
