Surfer SEO Was Acquired.
Meet Rankability, The #1 Alternative.
Agencies deserve a partner built just for them.
Rankability supports your team to win visibility in Google and AI assistants—remaining independent, focused, and agency-first.
What Surfer SEO's New Chapter Means for You
In October 2025, Surfer SEO joined the portfolio of Positive Group—a growing European SaaS company. With transitions like this, agencies often face new roadmap priorities, evolving product bundles, or pricing shifts. That's why now is a great moment to explore whether your SEO platform is designed exclusively for agencies—and for the future of AI-driven visibility.
