What do you like best about the product?
We've been using StoryChief for 5+ years, and as an agency with clients who focus on and benefit from content marketing, it has been an invaluable tool for us all. We especially like the built-in SEO guidance, readability analysis, and the fact that we can trickle-publish and syndicate our content to multiple channels over several weeks. Because Storychief is SEO savvy, the articles being syndicated to other websites all include a Google "canonical"tag, meaning the SEO ranking credit from all that traffic only goes to the original publishing website. Due to this form of backlinks buildup, we have seen articles quickly rank in the SERP (Search Engine Results Pages). We also like the ability to schedule social media campaigns as well. And the number of platforms that StoryChief supports and integrates with is huge.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike at all. The team has been very responsive when adding additional integrations. The one on our wishlist that we really hope for in the future is to enhance the current SEO sidebar with SEO content grading features. Also, I wished the existing content brief for each story would include SEO keyword research and content grading recommendations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling and collaborating with others on strategic Content Marketing.

What do you like best about the product?
I value Story Chief because it allows teams to write great content thanks to its built-in SEO and readability scores. Content distribution is made simple with just one click; you can write posts for each of your articles and publish them to the channels of your choice or schedule them. Use the easy-to-use content management workflow to get your team on the same page with your campaigns. You can use images, videos, and rich media to make your stories stand out.

What do you dislike about the product?
To enable better marketing attribution goals, custom fields should be further developed. I'm hoping StoryChief has the ability of a Chrome extension or Firefox plugin to generate posts quickly. There are no options to schedule posts automatically.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If your previous campaigns received more views, clicks, and shares than usual, you can copy them from the StoryChief Social Posts tab and restart them. You can organize the many projects you're working on with your team and create corresponding campaigns for each one. You can manage content marketing campaigns for clients. To see your content schedule graphically, you can also check the future articles and posts in the calendar view.

What do you like best about the product?
If you're going to use it as it's designed (write blog content directly in the interface and then publish it on multiple channels), I think it would work really well for a fairly small team. You can format everything just like you would want to for a blog, and you also get a lot of feedback about SEO as you're writing. It appears to have a lot of ways to turn one article into a "content waterfall" on a lot of channels, which could be really valuable.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'm using StoryChief with a really big team where we are going through many rounds of editing with multiple editors. Not being able to put "suggestions" but only comments makes it much slower to go back through and clean up versions. You also can't have more than one person editing a doc at one time. And with multiple rounds of edits, it's basically impossible to know "who's got the football" for us, so we had to implement a project management solution to keep track of that. So for us it's not ideal. But for a less complicated team, it would probably be great.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can group different types of content from different people in one "campaign" to keep track of things. This makes it easier to find items. The SEO tools are useful when we use them. Sometimes we just put a Google Doc link in a "story" and write over there instead, though.

What do you like best about the product?
Most valued features are: - One-click distribution on all social channel. - Seamless collaboration between all content stakeholders (and agencies). - Great editor with immediate SEO scoring. - Asset emails to press agencies.

What do you dislike about the product?
The custom fields could be more elaborated to support better marketing attribution purposes. The way utm query parameters can be set is great...but I would love to see the option to also use custom variables.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When conducting content marketing, several people have to seamlessly work together. Content writers will write content. Channel managers will be responsible for distribution. SEO marketers want to see traffic. etc.... SoryChief is THE go-to-tool to do all that within the same platform.

What do you like best about the product?
It allows us to centralize and distribute our articles and social media content. Increase your audience and generate more leads. Multiple ways to turn an article into a content cascade. One-click distribution on all social channels. Great editor with immediate SEO score. Blog in several languages.

What do you dislike about the product?
The integration process could be shorter. I would like a little more flexibility for the main blog page.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes a cross-platform approach to all content marketing easier and more convenient. Before publication, each content is optimized thanks to the SEO score on the page. Time savings in collaboration, approvals and content distribution.

What do you like best about the product?
I'm an Osteopath and a teacher. So I like to tell stories. Many times I tried to write some of these stories and place them on a blog space on my professional website. But, this text had to be SEO-proof, something which is way out of my comfort zone. I wanted to post this text on my social media accounts... copy/paste it... I even want to start a kind of e-mail campaign. But most of all I don't want to spend a huge amount of money on a copywriter, SEO specialist, different special programs, like for an e-mail campaign..... Storychief has it all for me! Just write one story! Publish it on my website, one single social media promotion and off we go: just a few clicks and my story can be spread! Even for me, it's easy and it works! Love Storychief! ;-)

What do you dislike about the product?
It may sound like a cliché, but for me, there are no real drawbacks. I am therefore not a professional who works with texts and campaigns daily. For what I need to highlight my professional activities, Storychief is great.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Of course, Storychief is not free. It remains an investment, which only pays off if you put in some time to learn to work with it. But once you know the basics, you can do a lot!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Storychief I am able to write my story in a very simple way. Storychief guides me within the SEO world and the readability of the story, without compromising my own storytelling style. In addition, everything is posted on my website and social media channels. For me, that's all I need, without various extra costs. And that way I keep everything under control myself.

Storychief helps me to publish simultaneously (both planned and real-time), also using WordPress. It is, as far as I can see, the only solution offering this amount of integration. This saves time and helps create an immediate overview of what content is doing well.

The number of features and integrations that StoryChief has makes the platform fully utilitarian when developing a content marketing strategy all the way through execution, approvals of content by our team and then publishing the content to the website and promoting the content through social media channels. We have not found a more comprehensive platform that has all of the features that StoryChief has. The team has also been an absolute pleasure to work with. They are always supportive, and have helped us accelerate our growth.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing negative to say about StoryChief. If you are a content marketer, you will save hours of your time every week by using this platform.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are doing any form of content marketing, using StoryChief will save you hours of your time each week and improve your workflow dramatically.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of my write-ups for websites are delivered via Story Chief. The main benefit of this platform is you'll be right at home even if you are delivering your very first article for the web. If, as a writer, you are struggling with article delivery on account of a platform that you find unwieldy, ask your employer to get you a Story Chief login.

Storychief allows us to scale our content creation and promotion.

It is very easy to get in the flow of writing stories using this tool. StoryChief removes all the distractions other content marketing platforms and gives you a blank canvas to write your story and bring your friends to collaborate. I also like that I can do SEO on the tool itself and improve readability, distribute on multiple channels, and track performance of the content on each channel. All of this and more in this tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing I would like StoryChief to improve is the ability to collaborate simoultaneously. I believe that the reason the tool only allows one person to edit the story at a time is so that the person doing the edits doesn't loose focus on the task at hand which I understand. I just want the flexibility to edit the story with multiple people like I can do on a Google Document or iCloud document if I need to.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend StoryChief to any business that wants to succeed at content marketing but fails to create the right workflow to create, collaborate, distribute, and measure the impact of their content.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solve 3-5 problems with StoryChief: 1. Easy to implement content collaboration workflow. 2. Easy content distribution on many channels simoultaneously. 3. Metrics and performance of the content on each channel. 4. SEO tools to drive more traffic to the content and the ability to post on Google My Business directly.

It also has a mobile application very functional and practical as it allows me to access the system from anywhere.

Despite being an online publication and writing tool, and publication does not offer me innovation as it does not contain preloaded templates and I must conform to its standard and boring design.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
He's reliable, but a little clumsy. More drag-and-drop and other easy-to-use conveniences should be added, but it offers a decent AEM and content management system. There must be something better out there.

This is very useful to save time and facilitate communication with work teams, on the other hand is interesting to see the functionality that has this product for our social media due to the flexibility in different platforms, allows me to easily sweep tweets and compromises, saving me a lot of time and also provides very comprehensive analysis for our business development.
