Great Program, Terrible LTD - Updated Review
Disclaimer: This is my second review, after requesting my original 2 taco review be removed.
Consider me converted. I initially disliked MM - due to the lack of copy-paste, export, and use of tokens. I was all behind Frase. But I am one for 2nd chances. And after hearing about MM fixing some of their initial issues, I decided to give it another try, and even levelled up to tier 3, Oh boy, am I glad I did.
As it's been stated before, forget the tokens - far too rich for my blood - but that is not where the power of this saas lays - compared to Frase, the scoring seems more accurate, the results more in-depth, and the elephant in the room is it does not encourage you to copy other sites, ut improve upon and find gaps in the content market. It compares tool is great to see who is covering what.. and what they are missing out on. This is now my goto tool - but loses just 1 taco due to some QOL features missing.
1)Yes you can save previous searches, but you can't seem to save your previous text - ie, if I start working on another piece, I need to either spend a query to re-scrape or manually copy-paste it back in.
2)I really dislike being locked to one domain for internal linking suggestions - this just feels like an artificial downgrade.
3)Questions - additional analytics here feels like a no brainer - what is the volume of search for these question? If I am to spend another query on them, I would like to know is their value without needing to resort to a third-party application.
4) Copy-paste seems a little finicky - when you paste a word into your optimise doc, the formatting is odd, and gives it a new line, resulting in multiple backspacing needed.
MM Vs Frase: I know it's been compared many times with Frase, and rightly so - my final verdict there is, if you can not afford minimum 3 tier of Marketingmuse, then Frase is probably a better choice for more functions. BUT.. if you can do 3 tiers or up, then this blows Frase out of the water. As it is extremely good at what it does.
Final thought: I am extremely happy with my new purchase. I really just hope that Marketing Muse uses this opportunity to listen to its community and builds upon this experience.

May 9, 2024Hey Player! Thanks for taking time to update your review. Itās much appreciated.
Hereās some answers to your questions and points.
1. Snapshots save all the data on an application (with the exception of the set in Optimize). So you donāt have to use another query. In my workflow for the MarketMuse blog, I always move that text out to a Google Doc for safekeeping.
2. We hear you loud and clear! Many in the AppSumo community have expressed their frustration with this issue. Weāre looking into how to we can be more flexible in this regard. Once something is confirmed, this community will be the first to know.
3. There is no search data associated with questions because weāre using a variety of data sources, which donāt necessarily have associated search data. Also, the Questions Application is designed to find questions that your content should answer. Use that data to help structure and flesh out the content created in Optimize.
4. Noted. (Iām used to the way pasting works in Google Docs.)
Iāve passed your concerns along to our dev team. But you can do the same inside the MarketMuse platform. Just press the ā?ā Button on the upper right corner when you're in MarketMuse. Our customer feedback system tracks your request so that you can see its status and resolution. (So it doesnāt feel like your suggestions are going into a black hole).
