Outgrow received the highest overall satisfaction score and AddThis earned the highest overall market presence score.
The Grid® leverages customer satisfaction data reported by authenticated users along with vendor market presence determined from social and public data. Based on a combination of these scores, each software solution is categorized as a Leader, High Performer, Contender or Niche.
Key Findings:
- Price — Some users of content marketing solutions wished for freemium versions or products that offered tiered pricing structures. Some users, while they didn’t necessarily need all the bells and whistles of a tool, remarked that things like paywall barriers, limited file storage, and lack of true customizations kept smaller-sized businesses from utilizing more expensive products. For other users, they liked it when solutions were “high-impact, low-cost”, ultimately providing them with a useful, easy-to-use platform that helped them produce effective and aesthetically pleasing content and marketing efforts.
- Lack of data granularity — Many users said that they were frustrated with the lack of granular reporting that their chosen content marketing solution offered. Some users had to spend either time or money for custom reporting and some had to turn to third-party analytics tracking tools as a supplement. Users said that some downfalls of content marketing solutions included: no way to segment visitors and overall traffic, and not-so-seamless integrations with tools such as HubSpot or Google Analytics.
About the Content Marketing Grid® report:
- The report is based on more than 1,287 reviews written by business professionals.
- Of the 165 products listed in G2 Crowd’s Content Marketing category, the ranked products each received ten or more reviews to qualify for inclusion on the Grid®.
