What do you like best about RebelMouse?

From the very beginning of the process of rebuilding our website, we felt cared for. They heard us, and unlike other shops, actually listened and did not foist a cookie-cutter design on our magazine. RM is attentive, creative, and have an entire team focused on YOU during each leg of the process. Our new platform is not only gorgeous, but highly functional and is driving tons of new traffic. We're getting as much attention afterward: the team is identifying new SEO opportunities and is only a click away for tech support. From start to finish, they made what could have been an extremely stressful experience actually pretty satisfying! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

I will be the first to admit I am a technology dinosaur … but I know one of the key elements to a successful website is speed. But, as someone who raced Ferraris, I can tell you it is more than having speed … it is knowing what to do with it. RebelMouse and its content management system (CMS) combines best practices, a proactive (versus reactive) approach to the constantly changing aspects of SEO and social media platforms, and offers features and functionality that I would not have thought available to smaller companies without requiring expensive customization. (Yet will be scalable as our online presence grows.) And, they do all that with a team of people who are genuinely interested in their customers' success. They took the time to understand our business and objectives before offering creative ideas. When you race, yes, you need a fast car and an experienced driver ... but, it takes an entire team to succeed, and I am thrilled that RebelMouse is part of our team.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

After years of publishing a website on our own, and stumbling through the forest blindly, we finally found the team at RebelMouse and it changed our lives. To have a great tech stack AND a knowledgeable team of strategists, developers, and project managers is a game changer. They bring the strengths of a large publisher (large datasets, expertise, lessons learned from trial and error, close relationships with search and ad platforms) to smaller publishers. During the build and launch, the team went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the new site, and they flawlessly migrated over 20,000 articles. I can't recommend them highly enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

My only negative is that I wish we'd migrated sooner. Like five years ago.

But to make this not sound like a paid review, I suppose the geographically distributed workforce can make scheduling a meeting a little harder? But obviously the benefits of experts all over the world greatly outweighs the downside. (I brought that up just to meet the minimum character requirement!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RebelMouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our old CMS was slow and ranked poorly on Google. RebelMouse delivered on their promises of a faster site that passed the Core Web Vitals assement, ranked higher, was easier to use on the back-end, and increased our traffic. Not to mention having a team of strategists on retainer is so much more helpful than trying to piecemeal together experts via consultations. Plus their support team is fast and knowledgeable. Finally, the retainer hours and hosting cost together is basically the same as what I would be paying for our old CMS, development team, and hosting — but I'm getting so much more.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

For a relatively small organization with a big web footprint, what's best about RebelMouse is that we can maintain full-service web development—from security, design, SEO optimization, integrations, performance reviews, etc.—without the enormous in-house commitment or reliance on various third-party contractors or services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

There are no major downsides to RebelMouse after over a year working with them. We are nearly a year into launch of our site and that was preceded by a 4-month onboarding process that was professional, efficient, and hit all the marks. Having done web transitions and web redesigns many times before, this was by far the most lean and enjoyable experience in what is never an easy lift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RebelMouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are continuing to conduct SEO audits and performance reviews as well as working on new integrations of payment processors and email client. A live blog feature is scheduled for the future and a slate of new CTA's is also underway to improve fundraising and email newsletter signups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

The formatting of the emails from their internal system is offputting to me, but I think that is more of a zendesk thing. I will often read it and it look overwhelming with so much text so I don't read it, but then need to come back to it later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

The only downside I can think of is cost. You absolutely get what you pay for with their exceptional product and service, but it will cost more than other solutions out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RebelMouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

RM is our main CMS. Their platform ensures our content is delivered to our audience in a way that users enjoy, with less hassle than we previously had.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

I decided to move to the fastest CMS for my corporate website. Focusing on Core Web Vitals can improve website performance, enhance user engagement and satisfaction, and potentially increase search engine visibility and traffic. Therefore, businesses and website owners should care about Core Web Vitals to ensure their website provides a positive user experience and performs well in search results.

In my experience 10% organic traffic only. And nearly 30% direct traffic increase. They are a rockstar team related to SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

Probably the thing that is only available for English speakers. They are in a growing stage so probably in a near future, they could provide support in Spanish too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RebelMouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

I managed my website in 12 countries. But now the Rebel MOuse team has developed a cookie-level experience so now I can distribute my content in 3 languages only. At the same time, I take care of SEO at a local level, in 12 different countries more efficiently. In a few words. The crawl rate has been beneficial and traffic as a result Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how the team at RebelMouse is always striving to do the best, how they are at the edge of all the new updates out there and making the best of the content you are creating. Rebelmouse strives for their customers, and as a customer myself i love and have built great relationships with them over the years we have been using them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

I really do not have anything bad to say at all. Maybe the cost, but let's face it, if you want the best there is out there, you're going to have to spend a little money! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RebelMouse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching more people outside of our own comfort zone that we would not be able to hit and using their technology to broadcast our message to the world wide web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
