Features & Capabilities

Can I use Content Editor to optimize my existing content?

Absolutely! Content Editor guidelines will help you write an article from scratch, as well as optimize any existing content. You can upload content from any existing URL, copy-paste it from external writing tools, or write it yourself within the Content Editor.

Not a fan of manual optimization? Use the Auto-optimize feature to easily get all new articles to the finish line and quickly reoptimize existing content to ensure it ranks high. All you need to do is create a new Content Editor to get the latest SEO guidelines, add at least 50% of the suggested content length to your article, and click the “Auto-optimize” button.

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. We also have collaborative features like versioning history and comments to help you get your article to the finish line faster.

Alternatively, download our Google Docs extension for Chrome browser or use our WordPress integration, Jasper integration, or Contentful integration to have Content Editor’s guidelines overlayed on either platform!

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 and Topical Map help with identifying content gaps and 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 the search intent you are targeting and improves your topical authority.

How are Content Editor’s guidelines generated?

Surfer looks to your ‘Organic Competitors’ for insights on what type of content ranks best. Organic Competitors are pages that rank in the top 10 of Google for the Content Editor’s chosen SERP location. 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+.

How can I start using Content Editor?

To start using Content Editor you need two things:

  • active Surfer subscription
  • Content Editor credits

Credits are included in all Surfer subscriptions (1 credit = 1 article). If you’re not sure which subscription to choose, here’s a handy guide.

7-day Money-Back Guarantee
