Overall Satisfaction with Chartbeat

It's being used by Rolling Stone's editorial department, as well as our corporate SEO and other departments that assist in optimizing our editorial content strategies.
  • Real time reporting
  • Crowdtangle integration for sources of traffic
  • Easy, intuitive way of figuring out trends and immediate changes in results
  • The mobile app needs to be improved
  • It allows us to gauge where to put resources when assigning and committing time and money.
We are able to pivot quickly if we see something attract a lot of attention and repromote content that may also perform better due to real-time trends.
It is much easier to use and navigate and get insights than Google Real Time.
It definitely allows us to see how people are engaging with content on devices and as we launched our new dynamic subscription model, we were able to see how this "paywall" may affect our reader's engagement and drop-off or bounce rate.
I've used Google Real Time, which I do not find as easy to use and track trends and plan content strategy.
It's great for a newsroom, an editorial team, as well as marketing and other editorial brand needs.
