What differentiates MarketMuse from other similar products?

I was really excited about the potential of using Market Muse to help me develop smart outlines for my content, but unfortunately, the results it delivered were simply relevant to my topics.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Keyword research

What do you dislike most about this product?

Unfortunately, this product investment was a big dud for us. I was hoping that the SEO optimization and outline development aspect would help me create outlines for content that were aligned with my topic and keyword efforts and quite simply, it was not. The process tax for using Market Muse made it not worth it to me. My freelancers told me it often crashed for them when they were trying to use the optimize tool. I also found the platform to me unreliable. Thankfully for us, it never resulted in a significant loss of content, but it's not worth it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To be fair, it has been over a year since I used the platform, so there's a chance they've made significant improvements, but that's what it would take to get me to ever consider this product again. My recommendation for others, based on my experience, would be to keep looking.

Pros

Caring
Continually Improving Product
Efficient Service
Respectful

Cons

Less Reliable
Less Performance Enhancing
Less Productive
