Content optimization tool popular with writers and content teams seeking higher rankings.
About the Surfer SEO affiliate program
Surfer runs its affiliate programme on PartnerStack with a tiered structure: Starter pays 75% of a referral’s first month or 15% of an annual subscription, Silver pays 100% or 20%, and Gold pays 125% or 25%. The 125% figure is real but narrow — it applies to the first monthly payment only, and renewals generate nothing further. Anyone referring annual plans earns the much lower 15–25% instead, so the headline and the realistic outcome can differ sharply depending on which plan your audience picks. The cookie lasts 90 days on last-click attribution. Payouts are automated and land in the first week of each month, with each commission approved 45 days after the referral pays.
