What is Surfer SEO?
Surfer SEO is a content optimization platform that helps writers and SEO teams create pages that rank in Google using real time, data backed recommendations. Its Content Editor scores drafts against top ranking competitors, while its Content Audit and SERP Analyzer tools identify underperforming pages and keyword opportunities.
In October 2025, Positive Group acquired Surfer and relaunched it as Positive Surfer, an AI visibility platform that adds tracking of brand mentions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity alongside traditional Google rankings. Originally founded in 2017, the product still runs on surferseo.com under the original founding team based in Wroclaw, Poland, and integrates with WordPress, Google Docs, and Jasper AI.
