The value of SurferSEO

SurferSEO still matters in the switchover to AI

business plan writer w.marketing investor reading business plan

SurferSEO is great for getting you ranked in ‘blue-link’ search results.

It’s also key to being cited in AI search. Chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini draw on Google’s highest-ranking pages to build their answers. If you don’t rank, you don’t get cited.

That’s why you need an experienced SurferSEO writer who can create authoritative, conversion-ready content structured for both AI and traditional search.

It’s a prize worth winning. Visitors from an AI answer are 4.4× (Semrush) to 23× (Ahrefs) more likely to enquire or buy.

Search has changed, and SurferSEO matters more than ever.
Content formats

The high-performing content we create using SurferSEO

SurferSEO is not just for blog posts. It can give every page on your website a real boost in traditional and AI search.

Here are the types of pages we work on most for clients:

Product and service description pages

Benefit-driven, engaging product and service pages that give buyers the details they need to choose you over your competitors.

Comparison and alternatives pages

"Your products vs (x)" and "Best for (x)" pages drive sales and signups by showing buyers how your product or service is the best fit for them.

Articles and blog post content

Informative articles that move buyers down your sales funnel by demonstrating how your products and services help them overcome key pain points.

Content clusters and pillar pages

Build online topical authority by creating interlinked libraries of content to improve your site's visibility in both AI and traditional search.

Guides and how-to knowledge content

Knowledge base content that helps prospects see how your key product features work and existing customers get more value from it.

Content creation in Surfer SEO

What makes a great SurferSEO writer

It takes more than achieving a content score of 82 for content to win in SEO. Think of the score as an indicator but nothing more.

You can rank highly for a short time if you cover the keywords and topics SurferSEO suggests. But to rank for the long-term, you need to match searcher intent. That means writing content that answers the real questions behind the keyword.

Here's how we approach your SurferSEO work:

Everything starts with the why

First, we review at least five competitor articles. What’s ranking now matters as Google prioritises articles that best satisfy real search intent. We then create content that delivers the answers buyers came for, moving readers from curiosity to clarity and action.

Structuring for AI scannability

We build an ‘AI-friendly scaffold’ into each article. Elements like TL;DRs and question–answer pairings make it easier for AI to scan and cite your website. Readers can't see the structure: what they see is human-sounding, engaging, informative content they can trust.

Optimising for SEO with Surfer

AI search cites high-ranking pages in its answers. So, to improve your chances of being cited, your content needs to be built to perform in traditional search. Our writers cover the keywords and topics SurferSEO recommends while keeping the content helpful and relevant to your audience.

The final human review

An editor proofs the writer's first draft to check they're on brief for content quality, SEO signals and AI readability. After that, you get to review the draft and we'll keep refining it until you're certain the final version reflects your voice and priorities.

FAQs

Here's a selection of the types of questions customers ask when they contact us.

Q: Who writes topics requiring deep expertise?

A: When you get in touch, we'll identify the writer with the closest subject matter expertise. It may be, however, that you don't need an expert for your project and a strong commercial writer with the right brief will deliver better results. For every client we onboard, we collaborate with your in-house team. This process gives the writer access to accurate context, product knowledge and positioning.

Q: What makes your writers different from cheaper options on freelance sites?

A: We test every in-house team member and freelance contributor before they join us, so you know they’ve already passed a rigorous standard. They work in partnership with experienced editors who finesse their content to match searcher intent, your commercial goals and brand voice.

Q: How do you ensure the content matches our company's tone of voice?

A: Provide us with your branding and tone of voice guidelines when we start working for you and our copywriters will use those as a reference point throughout the writing process. If you have neither, we can work on defining them for you. By the time you read the first draft of a piece, the editor will have already checked for adherence to your guidelines.

Q: Is a high Surfer score the only thing needed to rank?

A: Surfer SEO works out the content score of online content by keyword usage and relevance, content structure and length, user intent and competitor analysis. Surfer is particularly effective at competing for articles with a Domain Ranking of 40 or less. To get more articles to rank, including those where the target keyword is DR40+, you need high-quality content, links from authoritative sites, and good technical SEO like meta descriptions and schema markup.

Q: How do you measure the success of the content you produce for us?

A: We track the essential content marketing metrics that matter to your business. This usually includes keyword ranking improvements, organic traffic growth, and conversions. We are happy to provide reports that help you demonstrate a clear return on your purchase.

Q: What do you need from me to get started on a piece of content?

A: Give us a clear brief on the keywords and AI questions you want to target, the product or service you're promoting and the core point you want the content to make. Our copywriting team will then create the first draft which an editor will proof before sending over you.

Q: Can you give a specific example of how you structure for AI scannability?

A: To create engaging content for AI platforms, you need to do a number of things. Explain what the content is about in the introduction, use bullets and tables, question-and-answer pairings, FAQ segments and more. The key is to pair readable structure with direct answers so that AI finds exactly what it needs to reference your content. Readability is important, too: keep it as simple as possible.

Q: How does the revision process work if I'm not happy with the first draft?

A: We are very confident about the copywriting skills and editing skills on our team. You have unlimited rounds of revision on every piece and we'll keep working on content until you are completely happy with the final draft and ready to publish.

Q: Is there a minimum commitment to your service?

A: There is no minimum commitment with [w.]: you can come and go as you please. You can commit to a longer time period however and benefit for a discount.

Q: Can you share your content on our social media channels?

A: On many of our packages, we'll create a series of posts you can use to promote your content on social media. Click to find out more about our B2B social media agency services.

Q: What is your typical turnaround time for a piece of content?

A: When you place an order with us, we agree on a deadline to get the first draft over to you. Normally, we can turn around content in five to seven days, depending on the complexity of the job.

Q: Is all content checked for plagiarism?

A: We use tools like SurferSEO and Copyscape to automate tasks like checking for plagiarism. Writers and editors have access to these tools so they catch and resolve any unintentional duplication before the first draft reaches you.

Q: How do you fit keywords in so naturally?

A: While we don't offer a formal training course or certificate, we're happy to help your team learn our process. Our goal is to help your team master the art of creating high-quality, optimised content that will help your business succeed.

Q: How do you track if our content gets used by AI?

A: We use technology to track AI mentions and links to your website using tools like Ahrefs and Surfer.

Q: What happens if I'm not happy with the work?

A: If the work doesn't meet the standards outlined in the brief, we'll keep working on it until you're happy. If we can't get it to the quality you want after multiple rounds of feedback, you're welcome to ask for a full refund.

Q: What does Surfer SEO actually do?

A: Surfer SEO is a productivity tool copywriters use to ensure that the content they write for clients has the right search intent and keyword and topic coverage. Strategists also have the power to use Surfer to elevate a firm's content strategy so every article serves a clear purpose and contributes to long-term search performance. The tool helps identify relevant terms, questions and content gaps, so writers and strategists can plan pieces that compete effectively and align with what your audience is actually searching for.

Q: How does the Surfer SEO Content Editor work?

A: Look out for a screenshot of Surfer SEO online to check out the SEO Content Editor interface writers use when optimising a draft for SEO. The Content Editor interface displays the essential content like keyword suggestions, target word count and readability scores. Also, the editor highlights sections like key takeaways and offers SEO recommendations to help writers create SEO optimized content.

Q: Why is the content score important for optimization?

A: The content score shows in real time what score a writer has achieved. For example, if a writer is working on an article with a content score of 82, they'll be able to see if that's higher than the most optimized competitor content so they can fine-tune the piece to outperform what's already ranking.

Q: Where do Surfer’s SEO suggestions for terms originate?

A: Surfer scans live search engine results pages and offers keyword suggestions you may have missed so you can compete with top-ranking content.

Q: When should I run a Surfer content audit?

A: Run an audit a few weeks after your content goes live or you notice your optimized content starting to fall in the search engine rankings. Check out the content marketing metrics article on the Surfer site to understand how to fix this.
