Useful info but decreasing value proposition
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates MarketMuse from other similar products?
The ability to see keyword volumes, LSI keywords/topics, and questions people ask about the topic is something not really available in competing products. Others provide 1 or 2 of those capabilities typically.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like being able to see how comprehensively top content has covered a particular topic as well as how long each piece is and what content types are included.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Initially they offered great value for money. But over the years, what you get for the same price has gradually reduced.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Make sure you’re producing a high enough volume of content for the monthly expense to make sense. Also, paying extra for the content briefs is rarely worth it — the ROI on what you can get through that process that you can’t get elsewhere in the software is too low. It also takes too long to put together a brief.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
Cons
- Vendor's Interest First
- Less Generous
- Under Delivered
