    When I'm editing the front page of our site, I use Chartbeat to see which articles are grabbing people's attention. It's helpful to keep people engaged, reading, clicking around. I love the daily reports that tell me which of my stories got the most views so I can see if people are actually reading my work and if not, I can try to improve on that.

    Sometimes articles were duplicated in metrics when URLs were redirected. Also sometimes attributed articles to the wrong author. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    The real-time dashboard is far superior to GA and also the reporting structure sent to my email on my frequency of choice on a per-author basis is the best feature it has

    Each brand uses Chartbeat, but I can only speak to how my brand uses it specifically. Everyone on editorial and social has Chartbeat open all day long to see what's working and where we can tweak headlines to help get more eyeballs on those stories. We especially love the big board where we can see all the content performing at one time and historically when we've been in the office, I cast it to the large TVs above our desks.
    Real-time data - to see what our audience is engaging with to help inform future stories. Having a clear and modern version of what a return visitor is (using your 5-second tracker); this is important because it gives us a clear understanding of who is reading our content and for how long—it helps us define our loyalists and discoverers. Easy snapshot of referrers to see where traffic is coming from.
