Since I get an immediate notice that they've been looking at a marketing paper or a quote I've sent them, I can time my follow-up call while the iron is still hot. **What do you dislike about Contently?** It can get a bit confusing how to arrive at the right analytics.

They'll send me ideas, and I'll write about them.

I write them if they like the concepts.

And the calendar always snaps back to "current six weeks" and does not allow me to jump straight to a certain month eg January 2021.

The program also features live tracking with a very user-friendly UI. **What do you dislike about Contently?** The analytical dashboard required a lot of upgrades, and the information provided is insufficient. The tool navigation paths are somewhat blind and take you in undesirable directions. The calendar and Campaign scheduler also experiences some lagging issues. The tool also provides a real-time engagement tracking feature that is not fully working as the tracking is not real-time. **What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you?** The tool provides an excellent and economical source to develop new content with new team members every time. This provides a variety of content created by different freelancers. The portfolio section is missing out on some of the critical details.

Only heavy HTML users would even notice. The platform itself recently went up in price rather significantly but we understand that this is due to the competitive market. **Recommendations to others considering Contently:** It might seem unecessary to use a managing editor, but they save our team so much time by cleaning up copy before it reaches our hands. Try to give Contently as much detail into your business as possible during onboarding, and do your best to set up the content pillars at the onset so you can leverage content plan to its full potential. **What problems is Contently solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our biggest challenge has always been volume of revisions via word documents.
