How much time do you waste switching between tools and tools instead of focusing on actual content strategy? Answer: too dang much.

Every extra step adds friction, potential delays, and room for human error. So, what’s the solution?

Surfer x Zapier integration.

With Surfer’s latest Zapier integration, you can automate key content workflows—generating articles with Surfer AI, creating Content Editors and fetching guidelines, exporting to your CMS, and even publishing straight from Surfer. Less time cleaning up messes, more time getting results.

Since this integration runs on the Surfer API, you’ll need Custom Plan with API access or API Add-on for your current subscription. 📩 Contact [email protected] or chat with us for access.

PS. This this also means we added the Get Structural Guidelines endpoint to the API. 🔗 Check API documentation.

We’ve got something up our sleeves that will make your job easier. WAY easier. 👀

Templates.

In the past, Surfer was mainly used for optimizing blog articles, but when our audience’s needs change, we adapt! 🫡

This latest feature will allow you to use Surfer to create various SEO-optimized content. Think: landing pages, product descriptions, local business pages, and comparison pages!

1. Starting from scratch? Create a landing page, product description, local business page, comparison page and more in Content Editor. Access Templates through: Insert Outline → Templates.
2. Already have content that you’d like to repurpose? Access Templates from Humanizer and easily repurpose existing text into any format!

Pre-set & custom templates in Insert Outline 👇

🎯 Pre-made templates include:

• Comparison Template

• Product Description Template

• Landing Page Template

• Local Business Template

Each template can be further customized to your needs; you can also add your own templates and have Insert Outline create a blueprint for whatever piece of content you want!

💡 Pro tip 1: If you’re using Content Editor for non-blog content, update competitors in Settings to match your format (e.g., compare only landing pages).

Pre-set & custom templates in Humanizer👇

You can also use Templates in Humanizer to repurpose content for any platform!

🎯 Paste any content → Select a template → Get ready-to-publish text for:

• Reviews

• Landing pages

• YouTube scripts

• LinkedIn posts & more!

Templates sync with Insert Outline—no need to re-add them. You can add them through the Humanizer’s Custom Voice button in Humanizer (but remember to pick “Template” in the drop-down).

💡 Pro tip 2: Templates are good at replicating tone of voice, but if you want better results, remember about the Custom Voice feature in Surfy (within Content Editor) and Humanizer - use Templates and Custom Voices in tandem for best results!
