Before using Topic, my biggest hurdle to publishing was figuring out how to structure the article and finding the most important content to include. What I like best about Topic is that it pulls all of that information into one place, saving me a massive amount of brainpower and time, which I can now spend elsewhere. Highly recommend the tool for anyone pursuing content and SEO as a growth channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Topic has been immensely helpful in article research and outline creation. It will be great to see them add functionality for readability and SEO that some other services offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a consultant who helps companies with their search presence, I found the tool through a client who recommended it and another competitor. After vetting the two tools, I found that Topic had a superior product both from a features and usability standpoint. Since then, I've optimized a number of drafts using the tool and found that it's saved me time and gives me clear, measurable ways to improve the work I do for my clients. I mainly use the Content Grader to optimize drafts to make sure we didn't miss something obvious compared to the competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be great if the content draft connected to analytics after a given piece of content is published, however that currently is not a feature offered by Topic (or any of the competitors as far as I know). I've given this feedback to the Topic team and they are considering adding it into the product roadmap, so that's encouraging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our company specializes in a competitive niche industry (postcard marketing), and before Topic, we found it especially hard to rank on search. It was a painstakingly long process to gather content ideas and keyword research for our writers.
I was assigned to streamline this process and eventually came to Topic after asking around in some startup forums. Our content research time has dropped significantly. Probably between 45%-50%. After about three months of using Topic, we started to see results. We are now ranked #3 for one of our main keywords "postcard marketing guide" and have seen steady increases with overall high-intent traffic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used to wish Topic had an AI writing tool as I've started to see other platforms offer it, but just recently I saw they have "Topic Copilot" in beta. Excited to test it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Topic pulls all of the competitor information into one place in their content brief creator so that it is easy for me to review when creating content templates/outlines. The content grader is another valuable tool within the platform that lets me analyze the content after it is written so that I can improve it to beat other ranking web pages.

There is nothing to dislike! I have tried a few other tools such as MarketMuse and found that this one has the best functionality and UX for my content template needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In addition to the time savings, my other favorite thing about Topic is that it creates a clear process for creating quality content. Instead of starting from scratch and guessing what should be included, Topic tells us what's most important for our audience. Our Director of Marketing, Copywriter, and I have all found the tool easy to use and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, there isn't something that comes to mind that I dislike about Topic. I have had nothing but extremely positive experiences with their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The topic finder helps identify topics to write about that have good traffic but are still easy to rank well for.
The editor will help you in an intuitive way to bump up your posts. Highlighting used keywords and showing the still unused keywords in a separate column is great tool.
The editor has basic formatting functionalities that make it easy to create content in topic and then paste it into your blog software without having to reformant everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A Chrome or Squarespace plugin would be great, right now the only plugin is for wordpress. Also, more recommendations for original content could be a nice feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Discovering Topic felt more like finding the solution my company could not operate without furthering our mission, growth, and success. Topic offers real-time solutions and results to adjust immediately to exceed our clients' expectations and eliminate the chances for costly corrections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In many ways, there is always room for improvement anywhere in life and in business. But the unique capabilities offered by Topic leaves little to comment on any dislike. In truth--I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Topic was incredibly helpful in outlining longform SEO content. I often found with longform articles (>2k words), things would get fluffy even if I was deeply knowledgable about the content. Topic helped me pick up on those additional things that I would have missed if working just from my own experience (or may have skimmed over if doing SEO outline research manually). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The drag and drop functionality can be a bit clunky at times, which makes the outlining process take a bit longer than I'd like. However, thinking big picture here: it brings the outlining research process from about 25 min to 5 min. So while I'd love it to be 3 (and it would be if the drag and drop wasn't as clunky), it's still a net win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Topic streamlines all of the research I would typically want to do in creating new content. I'm a marketing team of one, so I need to be really efficient in how I use my time. I rely on Topic to ensure that we're creating valuable content that will perform from the very first outline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes adding headlines and indenting or backing out the headers can be cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best are the research features. They make the process of creating an outline more efficient. Before I would have a bunch of tabs open during this phase. I still do, but there are fewer I have to open ;) I also like that I can share a link with my writers to give them access to the Content Research tool and Content Grader tool. The team does a great job of making product improvements and providing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing in particular that I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
