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.

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.

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.

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.

The pricing is bit on expensive side, but the team is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use. I love the content grade it gives articles during research phase and before you publish. This helps you write better content than your competitors. It also tells you how many words articles that rank are, which topics they cover and more. It is an invaluable tool for any content team.

It make it so easy to get my blog posts started, and keeps my content on track.

Topic has drastically cut down the amount of time we spend researching keywords and SERP results to build content briefs. Before, we would average anywhere from a half hour to hour to build a brief. Topic has sliced that in half and streamlined the whole process. They've made something potentially complex and difficult to use easy and simple to navigate. The interface is intuitive and does not require a steep learning curve.

There is a slight learning curve. Don't skip the onboarding videos like I did. Watching them made understanding the software better.

Not many to report. The few minor issues I've encountered have already been reported to their team, and to their credit, they took the time to listen to me and attempt to address them.

Overall: Our agency was looking for a solution to help scale content creation for our clients and we chose Topic because it looked like the right tool for the job. I found that unlike other SEO tools, Topic actually helps scale our productivity. Most SEO tools do the same thing. They let you look up the keywords, see what you are ranking for, show you pages that are broken, but none of them actually help you in doing the work. With Topic all I have to do is plug in our focus keywords, and it shows me everything I need to know to move ahead in the writing process. It's been one of the better SEO tools that I've used in a long time.

Overall: Being in charge of a content marketing program at growing startup, it was a huge challenge to for me to scalably create SEO-friendly outlines for our writers. Using Topic helped us bring our research time down from hours to minutes, and in doing so we've been able to not only improve the ranking of our content, but also create more of it. We've also been able to take our existing content library and optimize it using Topic, which has definitively shown us that using the product drives more clicks to our posts. It's been a real lifesaver, and it's the first tool I recommend to content teams producing SEO-focused content.

Overall: We've had a great experience working with Topic both in the results we've seen and the time its saved our writers. Creating content is a time consuming and expensive endeavor with inconsistent results, especially when you are in a competitive industry like ours. Topic has helped us make the most of our team's resources by making sure each piece of content we produce is SEO-friendly and matches what our audience is looking for.

Overall: Topic has been awesome to use. It helps me create detailed outlines that cover everything my audience cares about. The end result is that I can create a better outline in less time. The content grader has been helpful as well in ensuring the freelance writers that I work with meet a standard bar of quality. Being able to share the grader via a sharable link makes it easy for me to delegate the task of grading to the writer.

Overall: I'm able to create content that'll be able to compete on the first page of the SERPs. Previously, I used to write content blind using what I thought were SEO best practices. Topic takes a data-driven approach to helping me actually achieve that (without the guesswork). That way, my team can spend more time writing quality prose.

I've been using Topic and I love it. I work in a niche industry (postcard marketing) and we used to write without Topic and it was very hard to rank as the incumbents have been around since 1500. We did no backlinking, have a poor domain authority, and followed the advice that Topic gave. Our post has been live for just under a month and we are: #7 on the 2nd page (growing) for the head keyword "postcard marketing" #3 on the 1st page for target keyword "postcar...

Topic has been an essential tool for getting our SEO content engine ramped up. We had demo calls with several competitors and were even recommended Clearscope, but Topic felt much cleaner and easier to understand. We're glad we went with Topic as it has been easy to use and understand, and has been massively helpful for our writers. Plus, the Topic team is highly responsive and helpful. Even in the few months that we've been working with them they've added a bunch of helpful feature...

Before using Topic, we tried a number of different SEO tools with content optimization features, but none of them stuck because they were too hard to use or too data-heavy for our content team to integrate into their day-to-day. Our experience with Topic was/is completely different. What we like the most about Topic is that it's an SEO tool that caters to writers, making it the process of improving content easy. Their content brief is a valuable guide for us when we are put together an outl...

Topic is our go-to recommendation when I get asked about my favorite content marketing tools. We use it to help companies that I mentor grow their organic search traffic. It's useful for both giving old content a refresh and also for helping create new content. All of the teams we've recommended it to have had a positive experience both in the time it's saved them as well as the results they've seen. As an added bonus, the founders are always open to advising us when we have SEO questions.

Before Topic, we leaned heavily on traditional keyword research tools and manual research in order to create content outlines. The problem for us was that this process took hours and couldn't be easily taught to our freelance writers. After Topic, we've been able to cut our research time by more than half. Their tool is so intuitive that we can have our writers do the research themselves, and now we can spend that extra time in other important areas of our content marketing.
