lot of services, including mention, but they were not doing the simple job I wanted: get alerted when
blog posts mention us.” Emeric Ernoult – AgoraPulse

“BuzzSumo has to be the most important tool that I use for my content marketing and SEO campaigns.
The ability to quickly identify what content is working well in an industry and who the major influencers
are. For me, no tool comes close to providing the kind of insight that BuzzSumo gives.” Matthew
