FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Content Editor help me optimize my content for more than 1 keyword?

Yes, you can optimize for up to 20 main keywords. Make sure to separate each keyword or keyword phrase with a comma [,] or by pressing the shift + enter key together.

For best results, consider planning your content calendar with Keyword Research. Keyword Research helps with identifying topic clusters (groups of related keywords), which you can build Content Editors around.

Keywords in a topic cluster share relevance to each other and help you make sure your content matches search intent you are targeting.

What is the benefit of using Content Editor with NLP turned on?

NLP stands for Natural Language Processing.

NLP enables Google to understand natural language just like humans do - this is how language models such as BERT or MUM interpret text, search queries, video, and even audio.

The NLP-based algorithms at Google interpret the meaning, structure, and sentiment of your text. They assess how relevant your content is to your niche, which impacts your rankings.

At Surfer, we use NLP to extract relevant entities related to your main keyword. With NLP-based guidelines, you’ll know which terms you should use, where, and how often - to let Google know your content is relevant to what users are looking for.

Can I share a Content Editor with my team?

Yes! You can generate a shareable link in any Content Editor which can be used an unlimited number of times. People with a shareable link can review and edit the work directly in the tool. Alternatively, download our GoogleDocs extension for Chrome browser or use our WordPress integration. Have Content Editor’s guidelines overlayed on either platform!

Remember: shareable links are not available in the Lite plan.

Surfer looks to your ‘Organic Competitors’ for insights on what type of content ranks best.

It’s best practice to review your Organic Competitors and only select those that share your search intent and have a Content Score of 68+.
