User reviews
I don't understand why certain countries (even with substantial population and search volume) are excluded in the list of countries.

As another reviewer had mentioned, Surfer results are showing up mostly off the right side of the search page. It's also giving me keyword suggestions for a different location than where I am specifically searching. I have version 6.2.4
