Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Integrates with Google Chrome, so there is one less tab you need to open.
Tracks opens and clicks for emails you've sent.

Once you've locked in a template, if you need to change it on previously scheduled drafts, you have to do it manually.
It would be nice if it showed you/highlighted low Domain Authority or spammy sites.

Return on Investment

Cuts down on wasted time sorting between Google Sheets.
It allows you to send emails right through a Chrome Plugin, eliminating excessive tabs/windows.

Support Rating

Support is one of the best aspects of BuzzStream. I know their support team is small and somehow they are able to get back to us right away in a super helpful, friendly fashion. I've had many questions - sometimes they release a new feature, sometimes a feature isn't working correctly and they are quick to answer but also help explain it in a way that makes sense.

Likelihood to Recommend

We send out around 100 emails for each of our projects each week. With over 50 employees, that's thousands of emails that we send out and need to track not only opens, clicks, but ensure that we aren't emailing the same people over and over. That is where being able to track all of that info in a central place like Buzzstream is great. Usually, we'd use a Google Sheet that requires a lot of manually updating, but in Buzzstream, most of it is automatic. For a really small company, I could see Buzzstream not being as relevant because you probably don't need that amount of organization and can easily use a Google Sheet. But I remember when I made the switch how much easier it makes everything.
