"Huge Time Saver + one-of-a-kind Content Strategy Software"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

I like how MarketMuse isn't just a content optimizer based on a single target keyword. Tools in that category can be useful, but they don't fall inline with how Google serves up websites / content based on search intent. Continually planning and adjusting a content strategy month to month is a very time consuming process, but it needs to be done. MarketMuse saves a ton of time by allowing you to look at a high level strategy (what topical areas am I lacking, which ones do I excel at?) while also allowing you to optimize single pieces of content that fall into your overall strategy. The dashboard view is my favorite part of the software because it makes all of the data more digestible.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

It' s more on the expensive side compared to other tools, but they are one of the few platforms in the content strategy space that isn't just another copycat. The price won't be an issue if you don't have software sprawl across your organization. MarketMuse can easily replace several tools in your stack right now (depending on how you plan content), and is a huge value add for the price.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Less time spent reviewing the content strategy (major plus), better views of our topical strengths on our current content base, and a deeper analysis of what competing sites are doubling down on (or not).

Fast, strong insights that lead to action. I know why SERPS are ranking my competitors and can implement strategies to overtake them.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

Having an app for the phone or iPad would be awesome.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

How to breach the holy grail of SERPs, page 1. So far MarketMuse has increased the ranking of all of my sites and whenever I have a problem, their team has been willing to assist me.

"Magic isn't real but MarketMuse is!"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

I run an ecom portfolio and ecom is notoriously hard to write a lot of varied blog content for. MarketMuse helped us uncover golden nuggets of opportunity to write content that has helped move our blog to 10% of traffic. This has helped our topical authority for SEO, increased rankings and moved the overall organic search revenue in excess of the cost.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

No real dislikes. It really pays for itself.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is difficult to find regular topics for an ecommerce business.

"Amazing Secret Content Tool of the Best Websites"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

What would your website look like if you could sit down with the execs at Google? Marketmuse helps us figure out, what people are talking about, what to cover in our content and then how to ensure that we deliver the best content possible. A recent feature recommends the content the will best benefit our site and how to improve existing content. This means our customers have the best experience possible. If you're looking to go for the best and are comfortable with the price, MarketMuse is the software and has the team to make sure you get it right.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

As with all enterprise software, it isn't inexpensive.... it's the buy it once philosophy of paying more but getting what you need. Creating content takes time, money and care.... that's inherent in all content marketing.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring all content meets the end needs of the customer, reviewing writers, improving SEO presence.

"Very powerful and user-friendly"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

I like the UX of the tool. It provides so much powerful data and insights on our content while being very easy to navigate. The onboarding is easy and intuitive. We didn't waste our writers' time with training, which usually is a pain with other SEO software.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

I wish it was a bit faster, although I understand that this is not an easy task given the amount of data they need to constantly process.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Improving our organic search in a very straight forward and intuitive way.

"Great Platform for Content Strategy and Optimization"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

MarketMuse is 'the' platform for content strategy and optimization. We've been using MarketMuse for over half a decade and they've had nothing but great support and a great platform to work with that's produced serious results for our clients.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

The only challenge you may have with MarketMuse is understanding the overall content strategy. It can be a steep learning curve, especially for beginners. If you're serious about content and being the best at your craft, then you'll need to commit time to learning the platform and advanced content marketing strategies.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used the MarketMuse platform to build a gap analysis and then to optimize both new and existing content. The benfits of having a platform that aggregates data is you're not just guessing what keywords or topics to write on, but rather, you know exactly here the sweet spot it. We've seen huge SEO gains from using MarketMuse. It's a very powerful tool.

"Level up content performance like no other product on the market"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

The range of data-driven insights offered; the way, when I think I've exhausted my own abilities to maximize content strengths, MarketMuse always has additional insights to offer; the easy-to-use, intuitive interface.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

I know it's because of the volume of data being handled, but there can be some delays until the results of whatever function I'm trying to carry out (Questions, Optimize, etc.) are available.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Again, because MarketMuse is based on real data, I am able to make decisions regarding content strategy based not just on experience and logic, but on real-world results. I can be strategic with my testing as well, prioritizing what to experiment with in content—again, based on big data. Time and time again, these decisions have yielded real-world content performance. I've seen rankings improve over time.

"Topic modelling on steroids"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

Having used Marketmuse for one of my clients for the past six months, I can confidently say it's by far the best and advanced AI-driven content marketing tool in the market. The tool has some unique features you usually don't find in other similar tools. One of my favourite features is the AI-based content brief generation. The tool can give you a detailed brief which includes headings, subheadings, wordcount, semantic keyword suggestions and a 'target score' which you need to hit for 'maximum optimization' for a given topic/keyword. The module has a built-in content editor which makes content creation and optimization an easy task. The tool focuses on topics rather than keywords which is what search engines prefer nowadays. MM can take a topic and breakdown it into semantically related keywords. So if you want to rank and own a topic, the tool can tell you what to write, how to write and even give you a blueprint. It's like having an SEO analyst. Another cool feature is the personalized difficulty score which considers the authority of your site when calculating the difficulty score of a given topic/keyword. I see excellent results across the board after starting to use Marketmuse for sure. The support and training are outstanding, and they have fantastic leadership and passionate team members.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

The optimize module lacks the autosave feature.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Topic modelling and semantic optimisation in SEO.

"Looking for a way to amp your SEO efforts? MarketMuse is a must-have."
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

I've been lucky to leverage MarketMuse in two companies. Their intelligent SEO briefs make it simpler (nothing is ever easy, is it?) to figure out what works and what does not when it comes to search terms, and high-frequency keywords. Their account team is second to none and always have our best interest in mind when developing strategy for us to exploit via tactics.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

How I cannot move faster with my team to get more done.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

SEO is a very tricky art/science. You think you know what you need to know, you hire the snake oil SEO agency promising you page 1 Google results and do not realize them. It's hard work and MarketMuse takes some of the pressure off your team when working on inbound strategies with your website and your blogs by providing context to maximize your search engine visibility.

"The BEST SEO Tool on the Market"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

Marketmuse allows you a bird's eye view of your competitor's and their content. In a world where content is key, Marketmuse is a superb aid to ensure your article or post covers all the essential areas and keywords within a topic. When I used Marketmuse to create website posts for a large medical health site the results were astonishing. In a very competitive and saturated health field, we managed to get a post ranking in the top three within two weeks of publishing. Our performance on Google rocketed after introducing Marketmuse to our content creation. Furthermore, Marketmuse makes creating a content plan an absolute breeze by identifying content gaps on your site. The most progressive and useful SEO tool on the market today.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

There really is nothing to dislike about Marketmuse. Once your business starts to make a profit this program is a very worthwhile investment.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marketmuse helps you to not only compete with your competitors but to overtake them in rankings. I feel that Marketmuse is an ethical tool, in that it aids creators to actually improve the quality of content both on individual posts and throughout the whole of a website. Better content quality equals better rankings, better rankings equal more visitors, more visitors equal higher conversion rates - and that is it in a nutshell.

"Our secret weapon to Google domination"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

MarketMuse not only helps us optimize our existing content, but it gives us clear data on other topics and areas of content we can create or improve. Our writers love it because we can help them revise their work for further impact.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

Oftentimes the results take some time to load but that seems to be improving, still would love the data much quicker.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

If a piece of content is dipping in the rankings, we start with a MarketMuse optimization, which helps improve our overall content score, but that's one of the many benefits. At a glance, we can see what clusters of content we are dominating, what areas still need work (i.e. new articles). We can easily see where we stand with our competitors and easily how they can improve. I use MarketMuse for every website in our 35+ website portfolio, it has become a staple part of our processes and our entire editing team uses it too. Anyone can learn how to use it and if we have questions, the MarketMuse team is very responsive and offers a lot of support. We have been able to rank for really, super-competitive keywords and dominate the niche areas we want to rank in in a fairly short time. We can see gaps in our authority chunks and quickly create strateegies to address that too. I cannot understate the many uses of MarketMuse for serious content strategist, it just makes my life so much easier.

"It's an amazing and super helpful tool"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

This tool is amazing if you want to be before your competitors. It's so easy to put keywords that they have not used and I like how efficient it is in telling you the score of your article in comparison with the one that is firstly ranked.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

There isn't anything I dislike about it. The tool is very efficient and is fast, which is really surprising even for long articles.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have found it to be easier to use for finding keywords for my articles instead of using Google Analytics.

"How I got to Page 1, Top 3 - with MarketMuse!"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

We are a small company in a very competitive market - always chasing for top positions like everyone else. However, when our head company threw down a challenge - move five top ROI keywords into positions you covet, I had to give it a try. We don't have a great deal of money to spend on video, so MarketMuse was my answer and boy did it perform!

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

I wish briefs were more readily available. Although we can surely make magic happen without briefs, if you really want to crank up the content volume the briefs will help immensely.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Moving my top ROI keywords into position on page 1, at least the top 3, to generate leads. In a competition against 18 other companies we have moved 1 of 5 keywords into position 3, two have moved to position 1! The other two are moving up the ladder, just nudging them along with more content and they will soon be there!

"Great platform and team"
What do you like best about MarketMuse?

The MarketMuse briefs are extremely helpful for writing quality content. They help our writers stay on topic and ensure that we're getting the right terms/length/links to create the most effective content.

What do you dislike about MarketMuse?

Can't think of anything. The platform and team are both a pleasure to work with.

What problems is MarketMuse solving and how is that benefiting you?

We started a blog and used MM the whole way to ensure we were doing the right things to drive quality traffic. They jumpstart our writing efforts.
