Overall Satisfaction with Parse.ly
Global editorial strategy and planning for an enthusiast media brand, 25 FT employees. We use Parse.ly as our primary point for assessing the performance of our work, how readers are engaging with us, and which headlines are performing well for us, as well as who on our team is producing X no. of stories per period.
- Author breakdown
- Daily "pulse" monitoring
- Traffic sources
- The reporting system is complicated and somewhat confusing to set up, can't edit reports once they're created, have to create new ones
- Identifying "smart" trends in stuff that is/isn't working - we have to do this analysis ourselves
- Breaking down Google traffic sources (Discover is just categorized as "Google")
- Everyone on our team is much happier to use analytics and peer into it, unlike GA
- Everyone has a gateway to their own personal performance editorially
