StoryChief
Content DistributionContent distribution hub for multi-channel publishing workflows
Overview
StoryChief positions itself as a content distribution hub that solves the pain of manually posting content across multiple platforms. Built by a Belgian team in 2017, it connects to over 30 publishing platforms including WordPress, Medium, LinkedIn, Facebook, and newsletters to automate cross-channel publishing. The platform includes basic SEO scoring to help content creators optimize posts before distribution.
Unlike pure social media schedulers like Buffer or Hootsuite, StoryChief focuses on long-form content distribution with particular strength in blog and article publishing. It competes directly with CoSchedule in the content marketing space, though with a stronger emphasis on multi-platform publishing rather than comprehensive content strategy.
The built-in SEO analysis covers fundamental optimization factors like keyword density, meta descriptions, and readability scores. While not as sophisticated as dedicated SEO tools like Surfer or Clearscope, it provides enough guidance for content creators to optimize posts before they go live across channels.
