(Original )Information
What do you like best about RebelMouse?

The best thing about RebelMouse is how much they care about their customers. When working with them, I always get a sense that they go above and beyond for their customers. There are members of their team who I know do very late nights so that they can deliver enhancements that are as well built as possible for us. It's also wonderful that Andrea, their CEO as well as other senior executive members know their stuff inside out and don't mind rolling up their sleeves to get into the minutiae with us in order to deal with the more challenging tasks. When working with this team, I very much consider them to be a partner, rather than just a vendor.

Their technology is also wonderful. It's amazing geared towards what publishers need to do. Upon migrating to their technology, we have seen tremendous improvements in many key areas (particularly technical SEO). They have out-of-the-box functionality that is tremendously helpful to customers. At the same time, their system is flexible enough to allow us to adapt it to any new business needs that we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

Because this is a very flexible system, the client needs to be thoughtful about what direction they take it down. (However, the RebelMouse team have always there to help us navigate this journey thoughtfully!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a system that will allow a publisher like ourselves to meet the technological needs of the current times. RebelMouse allowed us to meet and exceed those requirements! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

Their Layout & Design tool is one of the most comprehensive and flexible tools I have ever used of any CMS.

Their product team is also extremely helpful and constantly supports to make sure your properties are up to date and uses the best industry standards in terms of page speed, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

At first, we had some issues around estimates and timelines when it came to our site migration, but once we got through that hurdle, the process was very smooth. They were also very understanding and never charged us extra for the work they did that wasn't forecasted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering RebelMouse:

Strongly recommend for any publishers looking for a hands-on CMS provider that will care about your success.

It is costly so you need to have a good budget but the return on investment is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PageSpeed is a big one. RebelMouse prides itself on delivering top Page Speed and they are delivering.

After every site migration, you will see a drop in traffic, but we are slowly picking back up our traffic to pre-migration levels so we're happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

The built in SEO and social features. The ease-of-use and library functionality is among the best I've seen over 15 years of using (and building) CMS solutions for newsrooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

The most frustrating thing for me has been the unexpected changes that pop up on the site, probably because of a minor code change, that we don't know about until we notice something shift on the site. Not sure how to prevent that, but I know it's a huge source of frustration to our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're not trying to solve any problems in the actual editing process (google docs is preferable for us). For us, it's really a matter of getting the stories onto the site and make sure they're reaching an audience on social, search and other platforms (ie. Google News and Apple News).

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

I love the platform, but my absolute favourite thing is the people!

The whole company is made up of employees who know their stuff - who are generous with their time, who share their knowledge and expertise and who make the seemingly impossible, possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

Nothing - I honestly cannot find a fault or a single thing I would change about my whole experience with working with RebelMouse Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a dated platform that was difficult and onerous to make updates to, at pace. Rebelmouse has enabled us to publish our content to a fresh, best-in-class platform, fully optimized to Google, which has resulted in our audience finding our content and spending more time with us.

What do you like best about RebelMouse?

The product team is invested in the organization's success. They're are eager to propose new strategies or tools that have seen success with other publishers & share new findings that can help reach our KPIs. They also continuously deploy improvements.

The platform's layout & design tool is particularly useful for an organization that doesn't have an in-house development team. It enables us to quickly make visual changes our websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RebelMouse?

Initially, getting our website developed and launched was very chaotic. Project management and QA prior to delivery were both lacking, which caused some friction. I must however admit that our launch schedule was very aggressive.

We have however experienced a complete turnaround since our websites were launched and are very happy with the new workflow. It seems like Rebelmouse has completely overhauled the way they work with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The built-in SEO features & RSS feed builder have been hugely helpful. They've really helped improve Google Core Web Vitals, which have helped boost organic traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
