"A Must-Have Tool for Content Marketers and Strategist"
4.5/5
What do you like best about BuzzSumo?

BuzzSumo makes it incredibly easy to discover high-performing content across any topic or industry. I love how I can instantly see which articles are getting the most engagement across social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter). The Content Analyzer and Trending Feeds are my favorite features — they save me hours of research and help me plan content that’s more likely to succeed. It also helps identify top influencers and competitors’ best-performing content, which is a huge bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BuzzSumo?

While BuzzSumo is a powerful tool, some of its best features — like full historical data, backlink analysis, and advanced filters — are only available on higher-tier plans, which can be expensive for small teams or individual users. Also, the UI, while clean, could be a bit more intuitive in terms of navigation between reports. Lastly, data for some newer or niche topics can be limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about BuzzSumo?

The best thing I like about this software is it is easy to use and most of the content marketing tools are available under a single software like keyword research, content research, build your funnel, how to do content marketing and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BuzzSumo?

The major thing I dislike is their support system; they must improve it via AI integration into their customer support system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating blogs, and newsletters is a crucial part of marketing work. Developing good content needs a huge amount of research & time-consuming. Buzzsumo can help by providing valuable content ideas. Additionally, I will get the engagement metrics as well (engagement, likes, and shares).

It has advanced features like customizing the feed. I can analyze content, and see performance reports & backlinks also. Overall, Buzzsumo is a helpful tool for content research & marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Surely the best Content & SEO analysis tool out there"
5/5
What do you like best about BuzzSumo?

Buzzsumo has so many awesome features. But here are some which I like the most:

1. Content ideas generator - Gave me so many creative blog titles

2. Backlink analysis - Helped me track competitor backlinks & gain opportunities.

3. Content Analyzer - Allowed me to get hands-on experience of top content for a particular keyword.

4. Backlink Analyzer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BuzzSumo?

There's not much to dislike. Though I feel they can upgrade the app by integrating Chat GPT into it. This will certainly help users like me to not just get analysis of the content but also create awesome content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
