MarketMuse Features & Overview

MarketMuse analyzes live results, extracts entities and subtopics with NLP, and shows what strong pages cover. You turn that signal into a brief with headings, key questions, internal link ideas, and clear coverage targets. The editor grades your draft with a Content Score that reflects semantic coverage, term depth, and readability, then flags gaps you can close fast. Research, Compete, and Optimize work together so you spot gaps, form clusters, and publish with confidence. Content Inventory tracks pages after launch, highlights decay, and helps you prioritize refreshes before rankings slip.
