Though the Buzzstream team is quite small, they are consistently pleasant, responsive to feedback and curious about our company's needs. I trust that if we ask for a feature to help us do our jobs better, they'll be receptive to it. We train all of our staff members on this product because it plays such an integral role in our outreach process.
I wish certain fields that require more frequent updating -- contact email address, for example -- were easier to update without opening the entire edit tab.
We're trying to transition from transactional linkbuilding to long-term relationship building. Some of Buzzstream's newer products and features, which should help us assess the value/context of certain thought leaders, will help us ease that process.
BuzzStream is probably the only dedicated search, prospecting, and CRM tool available for link building outreach and partnerships. I love the way they have focused on the smallest details in the overall link building process of various organisations and attempted to solve thise problems in a very practical and pragmatic manner. We have taken 4 seats on the tool and I really like how multiple people can manage their own leads or assign it to someone else to avoid confusion and contacting the same people over and over again. I also like how it seamlessly syncs with our email accounts to show all the previous conversations to everyone in the team and keep them updated about the leads. The inbuilt bulk outreach system is amazing and works pretty well. Overall, I like using BuzzStream as an end to end tool for outreach and link building activities.
Even tho its packed with a bunch of useful features and integrations with other tools like Hunter, BuzzStream can sometimes feel buggy and complicated. Even the most simple task can take a while to complete and that can be a turn off.
We are using BuzzStream for our outreach and link building activities
Setting up templates is nice and simple and the dynamic fields are very useful. Once a template is set up, it is very quick to start outreaching, and the feedback on email opens and clickthroughs is almost instant. Adding contact details from websites with the Buzzstream Buzzmarker is very useful and easy to do. I like how you can share templates with team members and how easy it is to move prospects between lists and users.
As a relatively new starter to outreach, I find the interface quite hard to navigate in terms of remembering how to get to different parts of the tool, but that may get better with time.
Buzzstream is great for allowing me to contact large volumes of prospects quickly. The instant feedback on open and clickthrough rates enables me to tweak my template and gauge reception and interest. Showing outgoing mail and incoming replies from within the software is a fantastic way of keeping correspondence clear and organized.
It’s simple to create lists of sites, blogs and influencers to contact. It makes it easy to manage outreach projects whilst working with other members of the team. Templates, tagging and automation make it easy to speed up email contact whilst maintaining a personal approach.
Sometimes it can be tricky to keep track of which specific contacts you want to use for bigger sites on any given project. If there are multiple contacts for a website, details about who’s who isn’t always obvious and it can take time to seek out the most relevant contact.
It benefits a busy outreach team by giving visibility on all projects across the team. It helps improve our approach by providing analytics and template testing.
The organisation setting are very good and make your workload way easier to find and analys.
The influencer platform needs to be implemented as for certain country is not working properly
I'm using it for organise , plan and analyse all my campaigns
With Buzzstream, it's easier to reach influencers where you can market your product. It is also easier to outreach websites to get links if you are into offline SEO. All you need to do is open the chrome extension and mark your potential website to be added on the Buzzstream database, then all you have to do is send out your template. Easy right!
Twitter is the only available option for the Discover Section which is quite frustrating. And also, more detailed steps/tutorials should have been added so I would not have messed up some things when I am already sending out those outreach emails.
Finding potential websites for link building is quite faster and finding appropriate influencers to promote our products is no longer troublesome.
The fact that it not only tracks your day to day emails and such but it also helps keep track of your twitter interactions.
There isn’t much that I dislike about the company I mean the plans are affordable and easy to use so what more can you ask for.
The problems we have had are that we can’t get to everything at once because we either don’t see a notification or just don’t have time, buzz stream has brought those notifications to the front so we are able to get to everything in a timely manner.
The ability to keep track of who my team has reached out to and keep notes on our history with various sites. And to create collective outreach lists for content distribution.
I don't enjoy the email feature, it doesn't flow well with my individual Gmail account.
Content distribution - helps us distribute more efficiently and not double up on work.
I like the ease of BuzzStream and the personalized relationship-building approach that it has.
I do not like how not as many people know about BuzzStream
I have realized the ease of BuzzStream is a very good approach on making sure everyone is in line with marketing management
This is great for placing your specific preferences in and then organizing your social media into categories that are unique to you.
As like with all of these, they can use faulty algorithms to assess your preferences and this leads to weird stuff showing up on your feed, but this is rare and not a big deal.
