The Content Score is a 0–100 rating generated by Surfer's NLP engine. It measures how well your text covers the prominent terms, word count targets, and structural guidelines extracted from top-ranking pages for your target keyword.

Which Surfer SEO plan is required for API access?

API access is available on the Scale AI and Enterprise plans. You can generate your API key from the Surfer dashboard under your account settings once subscribed to an eligible plan.
