Ultimate Content Ideator and Enhancer

10 /10

What differentiates MarketMuse from other similar products?

As a content optimization tool, and I have used another three, I have noticed that it relies less on the 10 top results than others, meaning it tends to offer more value-oriented suggestions based on expertise instead of just what's ranking, which I find really useful as it helps me to differentiate my content.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is easy to use, feels intuitive, and helps my content rank.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Nothing major, but it would be nice to have a Google Docs integration.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

SEO is a long-term play. Some tools or tactics help you rank for a while, but it's not sustainable if the content is not truly remarkable. With MarketMuse's help, I have crafted several articles that have ranked for over two years, using the tool for ideation, optimization, and updates, so it's proved essential for my content-based business.
