Surfer
The wider stack around GEO
What is Surfer?
Surfer combines a content-optimization editor with an AI-visibility tracker. Writers get real-time scoring against competitor content — keyword density, structure, and readability targets — while a separate module tracks a set of AI prompts, from 25 up to 100 or more depending on plan, to show whether a brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT and other AI answers, alongside share-of-voice, sentiment, and cannibalization reports across a site's content.
Positioned for SEOs, content teams, and agencies producing high volumes of articles — testimonials describe scaling from one to several blog posts a day. Pricing spans Discovery (€49/month, 10 tracked pages) to Peace of Mind (€299/month, unlimited documents, 100 AI prompts), plus a custom Enterprise tier. AI-visibility tracking is only bundled from the Standard tier upward, so the entry plan covers content creation without AI-search monitoring.
