| description | BuzzSumo platform help — content intelligence, trending topic discovery, content performance research, journalist database (700K+), influencer identification, monitoring alerts, and Search/Account/Backlinks REST APIs. Use when BuzzSumo search results are returning irrelevant content and you need better query filters, trending feeds aren't showing topics relevant to your niche, journalist database isn't surfacing the right reporters for your pitch, API call limits are exhausting too quickly on your plan, you need to pull BuzzSumo data into your dashboard or CRM via the API, content analysis isn't showing accurate share counts, or you're unsure whether BuzzSumo's paid plans are worth it vs cheaper alternatives. Do NOT use for social listening strategy across tools (use /sales-social-listening) or media relations strategy (use /sales-media-relations). |

BuzzSumo Platform Help

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
-

- E) Not sure / evaluating
-
What's your primary use case?
- A) Content marketing — finding what to write about
- B) PR / media outreach — finding journalists
- C) Competitive intelligence — seeing what works for competitors
- D) Influencer discovery — finding who shares content in my space
- E) API integration — pulling data into my own tools
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
| If the question is about... | Route to... |
|---|
| Social listening strategy across tools | /sales-social-listening [question] |
| Media relations strategy (not BuzzSumo-specific) | /sales-media-relations [question] |
| Influencer marketing strategy | /sales-influencer-marketing [question] |
| SEO / keyword research | /sales-seo [question] |
| Content enablement for sales reps | /sales-content [question] |
If it's a BuzzSumo-specific question, continue to Step 3.
Step 3 — BuzzSumo platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, API details, integration recipes, code examples.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
