About

MarketMuse is an AI-powered content intelligence and strategy platform designed to help teams decide what content to create, what existing pages to improve, and which topics offer the best opportunities. It analyzes a website’s existing content and uses metrics such as Topic Authority, Personalized Difficulty, Content Score, and topical coverage to help teams make content decisions based on their own site rather than general keyword data.

The platform includes tools for topic research, content optimization, competitor analysis, content clusters, content planning, internal and external link recommendations, and content briefs. Users can research related topics and questions, analyze Google search results, compare topical coverage with competitors, find content gaps, and optimize new or existing content inside the platform.

MarketMuse is mainly built for SEO teams, content strategists, publishers, agencies, editors, writers, and marketing teams that manage ongoing content production. It was founded in 2013 and was acquired by Siteimprove in 2024.
