Buzzstream is a great tool for me in managing my campaigns. Over the years of using it, I've seen a huge improvement. What I like most is that they sometimes get their ideas for improvements from Client input or suggestions.
It's easy to use and integrate on emails, you may have issues when you switch the email and link it to a different Buzzstream account but I figured out that you just need to de-authorize it on your Google Account.
So far, the support is very helpful. They usually go back to you with a detailed list of instructions which is cool for me.
They also got training provided which is awesome for beginners.

We use BuzzStream to compile lists for potential outreach opportunities, track our outreach progress and success, and to track brand mentions for clients. It eliminates the need for thousands of spreadsheets to track different clients and the success of our campaigns for them. It puts them in a easy to find space. We love the ability to have multiple tasks under a project name.

We are a content marketing agency with a focus on SEO and link building. We create assets that we then pitch to bloggers or journalists via email to get links. We use BuzzStream as our primary emailing software to send, organize and track all of our email outreach. With Siege Media being large, it is very important that we have software capable of tracking all of our work.

We use BuzzStream in the social and content department to find influencers to organically promote content and to see what influencers/thought leaders in a specific space are talking about. It helps us find these centers of influence for both outreach and production.

We use BuzzStream very frequently, as it is our main tool for SEO outreach campaigns and link-building. It is used mainly by our Marketing department, and certain individuals in other departments. It is our solution to the time-consuming process of outreach, content featuring, syndication opportunities, and so forth. It addresses the problem of outreach bandwidth.

Buzzstream is used exclusively by marketing and, in particular, it is used 100% by me! A few years ago, I ran into BuzzStream in an article and realized it was the missing piece I had been looking for when it comes to link building and email campaigns. Using BuzzStream, I was able to create many email templates to aid in link building (AKA SEO) for our website and then utilize the software to aid the marketing team in long term outreach campaigns. It is a fantastic way to save websites that you want to contact, track email sends, opens of said emails, and create an automated follow-up. It is a huge time saver and makes everything smooth from tracking down websites to contact all the way through to connecting with those websites!

Currently BuzzStream is being used by our PR team and SEO team. It has really helped to streamline link-building efforts and keeping track of outreach/conversations. Both teams have visibility into initiatives going on so we do not duplicate efforts.

I manage a content marketing team. Outreach is one of the primary things we do. BuzzStream helps us manage our relationships with influencers and contacts efficiently.

That means even if multiple people are working on reaching out and sending emails, there will be no duplicates, follow-up emails are sent on time, and email performance is evaluated accordingly.

BuzzSteam was used by our entire agency to keep track of client and link building communications. The search engine optimization team used it the most to keep track of link building outreach and communications. It's very logical to use, and you can have different "profiles" for each client to keep things organized. There's also a feature you can set up to alert you when it's time to reach back out. Makes link building just a little easier.

We are using BuzzStream to manage our linking building initiatives for each client. This allows us to know the progress we have made on building a 3rd party link for a site, keep notes and keep everyone organized, including the client.

We use Buzzstream to reach out to website owners to market content. We either pitch existing content on our website that owners can link to or we propose a possible guest post spot on the website we are reaching out to. Buzzstream allows us to manage our prospects effectively and keep track of our conversations with them. It aids us in building a list of prospects and automates our communication with them.

My entire PR team (20+ people) use BuzzStream day in, day out to list build and maintain relationships with writers/journalists that we regularly reach out to for possible link building opportunities. It's allowed us to build a database of over 30,000 contacts that we can easily keep track off, edit, or update when need be. BuzzStream is highly customizable and makes it easy for my team to keep track of projects and to see how other team members are using it to prevent any overlap with contacts. You can pull reports or do a deep dive analysis to uncover trends or see how junior members are performing. It also allows you to see emails between your employees and journalists which is great for transparency. We used to use Streak to handle our communications for our link building campaigns, but BuzzStream has allowed us to streamline this process and is much more efficient. We really heavily on this tool every day and wouldn't be as organized without it. The BuzzStream team has also been fast at getting back to us if we ever experience any issues with the software. Like any type of software, you'll come across glitches, but overall, BuzzStream is the best out there, particularly for PR professionals and marketers whose main goal is link building.

BuzzStream is like a CRM on steroids for SEOs. You can find opportunities, evaluate them, outreach, and monitor. If your company is doing link building BuzzStream will help users stay organized and be more efficient, which is crucial at scale. Primary users are SEO folks, outreachers, content promoters, and link builders.

We use Buzzstream in our agency for link building outreach. We are an SEO and link building agency so building links is our core business. Modern link building is centered around outreach. Reaching out to other websites in order to get them to link to our content is the main way that we build links and this is where Buzzstream helps us. It helps us keep our link building prospects organized and it streamlines our outreach.

Using BuzzStream for link building has made link building a very easy job!
It was only used for link building and PR exercises by digital team.
All we had to do is to find the websites and buzzstream would do the rest. You can send emails to your contacts, keep track of conversations, prices, projects and campaigns. It is an amazing management system for links and PR!

As far as I know, it is being used by a department. It helps us to build online press lists and to keep track of reliable sources that we find on the web. We then access those lists and contact them at later times. Organization is key for us as we strive to find and attract partnerships.

We used BuzzStream to record the links that were built for certain clients. During our link building process, we have an extensive prospect/outreach process that needs to be organized, from finding contacts, to setting up templated messages, to outreach and then follow up. It helps us keep track of who we've contacted, whether we got the link and also automatically revisits the sites to check if the link is lost or removed. It also has helpful categorization features so that your rolodex of bloggers is never lost, and can be reused/repurposed.
