Surfer
Surfer combines SEO, content intelligence, and AI-visibility tracking to monitor brand presence across Google and major language models, generate SEO-guided content, and run continuous audits and re-optimization workflows.

Surfer publishes named plans with per-month prices shown alongside a clear 'Billed yearly' indication for those amounts; an Enterprise tier is available at a documented monthly rate for tailored packages.Is Surfer right for you?
Good for
- Content and SEO teams who must track AI-model visibility (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI) while producing and re-optimizing SEO-guided content.
- Tracks brand visibility across multiple AI models including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overview.
- Provides live writing guidelines and a Content Editor to create SEO- and AI-optimized content in-product.
Keep in mind
- API access is not unrestricted; the official docs state it is available only to active users with an add-on or Enterprise plan.
- Displayed plan prices on the site are shown as monthly amounts but are labeled 'Billed yearly', so annual payment is required when choosing the annual plan.
- If you need unrestricted API access without an add-on or Enterprise plan, confirm API availability and terms because public docs limit API access to certain customers.
