FAQs

What is included in the MarketMuse Free plan?

The Free plan offers limited applications, 1 user, and 10 queries per month. It's best for individuals with low content volume, providing access to Topic Navigator, Keywords, SERP x-ray, SERP Heatmap, and Site Heatmap & Connect, but no site inventory or tracked topics.

How does MarketMuse calculate Personalized Difficulty?

Personalized Difficulty is a unique metric ranging from 1 to 100, indicating how hard it is for your specific site to rank for a topic. It's calculated based on your site's content coverage, historical performance, and other factors, helping you prioritize content efforts.

What are the different types of Content Briefs offered by MarketMuse?

MarketMuse offers nine brief types, including Article, Comparison, FAQ Collection, Guide, How-to, Listicle, Local, News/Event, and Product Review. The Article Brief is available across all tiers with Content Briefs, while others are available in higher plans.

Does MarketMuse write content for its users?

While MarketMuse's Optimize application includes a generative AI component to assist in creating content faster, the platform itself does not write full content pieces for customers. Its primary strength lies in guiding users on what and how much to write.

How does MarketMuse differ from other SEO platforms?

MarketMuse uses proprietary data and AI, patented topic modeling, and offers content inventories and research workflows, unlike many platforms that rely on commodity data via APIs or keyword-by-keyword analysis. It focuses on cluster analysis and content plans in minutes.
