Connect Content Editor with any CMS through Zapier

Shared by Paulina • March 25, 2025

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.

Write faster and repurpose content with Templates

Paulina avatar
Shared by Paulina • March 06, 2025

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!

Topics in Content Editor

Paulina avatar
Shared by Paulina • November 07, 2024

With over 8 billion Google searches performed each day, standing out and understanding the competition is a non-negotiable.

Topics is our solution.

Based on competitive content research, it shows points you already covered and remaining topical gaps, giving you a helping hand in creating the most comprehensive articles out there. 🚀

How does it work exactly?

1. Competitor Content Scraping
Topics automatically scrapes and analyzes the content from the top-ranking pages for your target keywords.

2. Topic Grouping
The extracted information is grouped into topic clusters, showing what your competitors are focusing on.

3. Coverage Comparison
Then the tool looks for the information in those topics in your content and shows you what you’ve covered and what gaps you might be missing, whether it’s a whole topic or a piece of information within the topic.

4. Content Optimization Suggestions
Based on the gaps found, actionable suggestions are given to help you add missing topics or expand underdeveloped sections to cover more ground.⚡

If you just skipped to the bottom of the news, check out the video to learn all about Topics, our latest feature for covering topical gaps! ⬇️

Sounds interesting? You can find more details in our Knowledge Base or, better yet, give it a go within Content Editor and see for yourself!
