What do you like best about Compose.ly?

Our customer success manager, Robert, is absolutely amazing. Always stayed on top of what we needed, and even added in extras like reporting and weekly 1:1s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compose.ly?

Sometimes can be a little reactive, rather than proactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Compose.ly:

Make sure you are clear on what exactly you are looking for in a content agency! Is it SEO? Brand messaging? Content in general? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Compose.ly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We didn't have enough resources to write articles every month. With Compose.ly, they are finding topics, putting together briefs, and creating the articles themselves. This saves us a TON of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compose.ly?

There's not one single thing I dislike about Composely! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Compose.ly solving and how is that benefiting you?

In a sea of mediocre writing, Composely is the only agency I've ever worked with that produced high-quality content over and over again. With very little guidance, they were able to consistently provide spot-on topics, SEO briefs, and polished first drafts that (quite frankly) needed very little, if any, editing.

The Compose.ly team cares. They want to get it right and work hard to provide the best work. They are dedicated, thorough, and responsive. They take feedback well and incorporate it into future work so you do not feel you must repeat yourself. They learn quickly and are eager to create content that you are excited about.

We love getting to know their team and each time we engage I am blown away by how much they care. It has been a pleasure working with them and we are excited for more work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compose.ly?

Be sure to touch base and be direct with feedback. They will wait to hear from you regarding your needs and timelines so plan on weekly touchpoints to see if they have questions or need anything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Compose.ly:

Come ready with a strategy and know what type of writing you need. They have so many incredible team members and are always willing to align skillset to better meet your needs. Be clear on feedback, what type of writing is needed, and what your timelines are so they can adjust accordingly. They have one of the most flexible, ready, efficient, and pleasant teams I've ever worked with, so know that a great relationship is two-ways and they are looking to partner with you as much as you are with them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Compose.ly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed additional support to supplement several projects. The projects required more technical writers who could ramp quickly and adjust their writing style to fit the brand messaging requirements of each client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Compose.ly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compose.ly has provided valuable content creation services that our internal team does not have the time to address and handle. This content has been vital in building up a regularly published blog with organic, SEO friendly content.

I would recommend them to anyone with similar business challenges of needing easy-to-access, SEO-friendly content as a supplement to other marketing and communications activities.
