MarketMuse Reviews & Product Details

It's a very dynamic and robust SEO and keyword research query tool. As a self-professed SEO geek, Market Muse is my favorite for dialed-in topical research. I rarely publish without it! It's easy to use, and the queries are detailed and quickly curated. Also, there's no platform integration required!

I don't have a dislike. But maybe wish for it to have a custom segment built just for bloggers.

It provides in-depth keyword research.

- Simple & fast to pull text for page refreshes and repurposing (and to see what's being crawled/indexed) using the "Optimize" feature - Easy to conduct competitor keyword usage gaps for content planning using the "research" feature - SERP Navigator is helpful in researching the search intent of a given topic or KW (ie transactional vs educational)

- Creating content briefs for blog / content outlines is a bit more involved using MM versus, say, chatGPT. And the quality of links provided, even when a site is added via "inventories", is hit or miss. But overall, it's still a helpful tool to have in my content planning toolbox. I will say that there is value in the NLP phrases to include, even though those can be somewhat hit or miss at times, too.

Efficiency tool; research aid.

It stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, offering an intuitive interface that simplifies complex tasks. The responsive and communicative team behind it is a significant asset, always ready to provide quick and helpful answers to any questions. This combination of ease-of-use and excellent customer support greatly enhances the overall user experience.

While MarketMuse is generally very efficient, there are occasional moments when it runs a bit slow. However, these instances are few and far between, hardly detracting from the overall positive experience. This minor issue is a small price to pay for the wealth of features and insights that MarketMuse offers.

MarketMuse has been instrumental in solving several key aspects of my work, particularly in content optimization and keyword research.

The efficiency and effectiveness of MarketMuse's tools mean that I can deliver higher-quality work in less time. This efficiency is a game changer.

We initially purchased MarketMuse because of our ability to quicky optimize content around keywords for SEO. As a team of two, we were outgunnedy many of the sites we competed against. But now we could see who we were competing against - and the lexicon that was being used to win that term. Most marketers think in terms of pushing an outbound message, but with SEO, we needed to make sure we were echoing the same words being used by our audience. Marketmuse ensured we did. That expansion of our semantic vocabulary became a key driver to our content strategy. And it paid off in results. Year over year, our organic traffic grew by 45%. But we moved from using this as an optimization tool (albeit an important one) - to using it as a strategic tool that was used throughout the product lifecycle. We quickly generated briefs for our stable of freelance writers, and provide background research, how long the piece should be. SInce we now could see how we were ranking for key words (and the urls associated with them), we quickly identified content gaps and could decide if we simply refreshed an existing asset - or whether we created net new. We also could also examing search engine results (SERPS) for featureed results. Perhaps the best feature of MarketMuse was its support team - they looked for ways to help us automate more and get out of spreadsheet hell.

There are a ton of really good features that are simply hard to find without being told what to look for. We definitely take advantage of the training and support teams to try and keep up!

Optimizing for search ranking was the initial driver, but now it is quickly becomeing a critical content strategy and creation tool.

This is a tool I use on a very regular basis. MarketMuse has significantly enhanced my content creation process with its sophisticated approach to optimization and keyword analysis. Its seamless integration into my workflow has proven to be a valuable asset, providing insightful guidance and saving substantial time. The support team's professionalism and prompt assistance underscore the platform's commitment to user satisfaction.

Not a whole lot! With any new software, you need to take the time to use and integrate into your workflow. Their support team can make this really easy.

MarketMuse addresses the common challenge of crafting impactful and search-engine-friendly content. By leveraging artificial intelligence, it assists users in identifying relevant topics and strategically integrating high-impact keywords, ensuring that their content not only resonates with their audience but also performs well on search engine results pages. The platform streamlines the time-consuming process of manual keyword research, allowing users to focus on creating quality content.

Optimization part is second to none. I also like SERP analysis feature.

Research phase is a bit limited. I dislike lack of saving functionality. I learn my lesson by simply saving in Word.

I use MarketMuse to analyse SERP, get most relevant competing sites, get list of relevant questions. I somehow trust MM most to analyse SERP. I can also see, which site ranks due to content and which site ranks due to other factors (backlinks, domain authority). I can exactly deduce, which parts of content are key. Once text is finished/half-written, I optimize it with MarketMuse. I like starting with optimization once content is half written. It speeds the process.

MarketMuse enables me to do the following: Get a better idea from the jump of how long a blog should be to compete with the other ranking blogs. Using the research tool, I can analyize the SERP for a particular keyword and get a sense of how long the blog should be, how many inline images it needs, etc. in order to compete with the top ranking content. This has given me a better sense of what to ask for when working with content writers and graphic designers. The inventory features gives me a clear look at what's working, what's not, and what we need to dedicate more time and resources to. It gives me the context needed to help the larger team understand what we're looking for and why we're looking for it. Because of the more detailed analysis I'm able to do, it has added trust across teams. It's also fantastic for refreshing old content and making it SEO-friendly. It's really easy to understand and use, and it has become a part of my weekly (maybe daily?) workflow.

At this point I really haven't come across anything that I don't like about the tool.

MarketMuse is giving me an educated look at what content we need to write about to rank on our target keywords. Most of our top viewed blogs were optimized through MarketMuse.

The whole suite of apps within MarketMuse gives a different set of tools to create comprehensive content for people and SEO.

I use it almost daily, so there is nothing to complain about.

Researching on Google to create content for Google can be tricky as you could end up with content similar to the rest. MarketMuse suggests many potential topical angles that save me research time and makes my content different.

It just gives me an extra edge when optimizing my content. Suggest extra KWs, gives me additional insights. Also, SERP results are great also. Excel export is great.
