What is NLP?
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.
Who uses Surfer?
Surfer is used by agencies, in-house marketing teams, freelancers, and small business owners looking to scale up their content marketing strategy and skyrocket organic traffic from their websites. The Surfer community continues to grow every day and currently includes 150,000+ active users from 159+ countries. Among them are renowned brands, such as Jasper, FedEx, ClickUp, Lenovo, Opera, Square, Shopify, FreshBooks, and, hopefully, you! 🤞
What is the difference between a feature, an on-demand feature, and an add-on?
Features are included in the plans. Some features may vary between the plans (see: Compare Plans). On-demand Content Editor and Surfer AI articles, as well as add-ons, can be purchased on top of the plan subscription.
The only exception is Enterprise - all solutions, add-ons, and Surfer AI articles are included. This plan has the best value-to-price ratio 👌
How do I buy Surfer AI or add-ons?
Add-ons can be purchased on-demand inside the app, through your Billing page. To buy any add-ons, you must activate your subscription plan first.
With Surfer AI you have two options:
- Choose our Scale AI or Enterprise plan with recurring AI articles and save money.
- Purchase AI bundles on demand, for any subscription. You can do so from the app, by clicking the "Buy AI credits" button on the bottom-left corner of your dashboard
Can I purchase more Content Editor articles? What is the overage cost?
Yes - we do allow overages (usage above your plan’s limit in a pay-as-you-go model). The Organization Admin can always purchase additional Content Editor credits on demand (1 Content Editor article = 1 Content Editor credit). The Organization Admin can also enable overages for all Organization Members from within the app. Usage over your limits is charged when:
A. Your overage is lower than your plan's threshold: at the end of your billing period, alongside the renewal, or when you change your plan (upgrades and downgrades).
B. Your overage is equal to or higher than your plan’s threshold: immediately. Plan's thresholds:
- Starter: 5 Content Editor articles
- Scale: 10 Content Editor articles
- Scale AI: 10 Content Editor articles
Will my unused credits be carried over to the next billing cycle?
Unused credits do not roll over to the next month. The only exception is when upgrading to a different plan.
What is your cancellation policy?
To minimize the hassle on your side, we automatically renew your plan for each new billing period.
You can turn off the auto-renewal feature at any point via the in-app Billing page.
This will not result in an immediate closure of your account or its deletion - we simply won’t renew your ongoing plan for the next billing period. You'll have access to the app until the end of the already-paid billing period, regardless of the exact date you cancel.
If you forgot about turning it off and already have an overdue invoice - please reach out to the Support team via chat or email and we'll cancel your account with immediate effect, should the plan's quota be unused.
If I choose the annual plan, do I have to pay upfront for the entire year?
Yes. Upon finalizing the purchase, you’ll be charged for the entire year. Remember: choosing the annual plan gives you a discount of up to 23% in comparison to the monthly payments. Don’t miss out!
If I have the annual plan, do my credits reset yearly or monthly?
Your credits reset yearly or after changing your plan (upgrades and downgrades).
