Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI SEO tool should a small team start with?
Choose based on the bottleneck: Surfer for content editing and refresh guidance, Frase for a connected content-production workflow, or Semrush for keyword research and tracking. Check the current plan limits against your actual sites, pages and users.
Does Surfer Discovery include Auto-Optimize?
No. The current Auto-Optimize help page excludes Discovery. Discovery provides drafting and optimization guidance; confirm the higher-plan features and current limits before subscribing.
Is a Surfer annual document allowance monthly?
No. The plan help page says annual limits are granted in a single yearly batch. The displayed 120- and 360-document annual cards should not be treated as monthly allowances.
Can an AI SEO tool guarantee rankings?
No ranking guarantee is established by the reviewed sources. A content score or AI mention is a diagnostic; evaluate search exposure, relevant traffic and meaningful customer actions separately.
What happens when I reject an Auto-Optimize suggestion?
The help page says usage is deducted if at least one suggestion was generated, even if you decline all changes or close the editor. Formatting errors that produce no optimization do not consume usage.
