Gixo analyzes keywords and builds SEO into the content creation process. No need for a separate optimization tool or workflow step.

Automatic Citations

Gixo embeds evidence and citations during generation. Surfer has no citation or fact-checking capabilities whatsoever.

Brand Voice

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gixo a replacement for Surfer SEO?
For content creation with SEO, yes. Gixo combines content generation with SEO optimization in one step. If you only need SEO analysis for existing content, Surfer may complement your workflow, but Gixo eliminates the need for a separate SEO tool for new content.
Do I need Surfer SEO if I use Gixo?
No. Gixo builds SEO optimization into the content generation process. Keyword analysis, heading structure, and content scoring happen automatically during creation rather than as a separate step afterward.
Which produces better SEO content?
Gixo produces complete, SEO-optimized articles. Surfer provides optimization guidelines that you must implement manually or with a separate writer. For speed and integrated optimization, Gixo produces better results with less effort.
Does Gixo have content scoring like Surfer?
Gixo includes readability analysis and SEO scoring as part of the generation and editing workflow. Content is scored and optimized during creation rather than analyzed after the fact.
Can I use both together?
You can, but most Gixo users find the built-in SEO optimization sufficient. Using both adds complexity and cost without significant additional value for most content workflows.
