    Chose Topic
    Topic was way less costly than MarketMuse with similar functionality. It was agnostic to CMS (WordLift is designed for Wordpress only). So it was priced well with all the functionality we needed.

    Great at providing content briefs as well as for seeing the types of topics that rank well competitively. It's also good with finding content that needs to be refreshed which is a super easy way to drive near term SEO results.

    Topic (Chia Labs, Inc)
    • Using the GSC data to find new, adjacent content opportunities.
    • They are using GPT-3 for title generation and would love to see it used to provide more content suggestions beyond the titles/descriptions
    • Sometimes it doesn't surface 'questions' that people are asking related to lower volume terms but not sure of a way to solve that

    The support I have received from all MarketMuse staff at each step of the process has been excellent. They are very friendly, quick to assist, and also provide really good training to teach you how to use their product. Additionally, their own blog is a wealth of information regarding different aspects of content marketing, from articles to video interviews.

    MarketMuse is more cost-effective than BrightEdge and does more for writers and editors that are strictly focused on content. It keeps people in one system after their first draft. Writers and editors do not need to go into multiple tools to look things up manually, saving valuable time. This enables them to produce more content more quickly.
