At RebelMouse, we closed out 2022 stronger than ever. In addition to our commitment to performance all year long, we are now leaps and bounds ahead of others in the industry on becoming an AI-enabled CMS. We invested 2,191 hours into our platform in Q4 2022 alone. All of the sites on our platform benefited from the work in various ways. Here are the key areas that we focused on:

849 hours spent on performance updates
332 hours spent on delivering new features
363 hours spent on improving existing features
647 hours spent on infrastructure updates

OpenAI and Stable Diffusion Integrations

ChatGPT shocked the world in November 2022, and by December 2022 the RebelMouse product team had already outlined a roadmap for turning RebelMouse into the most advanced AI-enabled CMS in the world. We’re so proud of the features we’ve already developed and the roadmap ahead. Please talk to support@rebelmouse.com or your account manager to enable the following features and to get access to our full AI roadmap:

OpenAI for taxonomy suggestions in Entry Editor
Stable Diffusion for generating editorial images

RebelMouse Performance Monitoring for Core Web Vitals

Performance is deeply ingrained in our culture at RebelMouse — it’s never a one-time effort. Our 10x team has worked to build an application that monitors and helps debug Core Web Vital issues in real time.

RebelMouse accesses the Google CrUX API to get daily updates and the latest averages. But in addition, we’ve built custom JavaScript based on the open-source Google library to track Core Web Vitals in real time. Now, every time you take any new code live, developers and/or QA can quickly review the last five minutes, last hour, and last 24 hours at a quick glance to see if your Core Web Vitals have been positively or negatively impacted.

We’re excited to be releasing this as a standalone product that you can also run on sites that are not yet powered by RebelMouse. Learn more here.

Structured Data for FAQs

We’re proud to have the best publishing platform for technical SEO. We’re always looking for opportunities to give our clients an advantage in SEO, and structured data for FAQs is no exception. This has moved the needle for all clients using it to increase rankings on competitive search phrases and create real growth in organic SEO.

If you’re not using FAQs in Entry Editor, talk to support@rebelmouse.com or your account manager to get set up. Learn more here.

Open-Source Library Updates

It’s easy for a website to ignore core, open-source library updates that run the underlying technology beneath it. This is a huge weakness for WordPress, Drupal, and other CMS options that have each instance get behind and fall apart in security and performance. We’re very proud to constantly avoid technical debt and keep our core platform super modern for our clients.

Editorial Calendar Upgrades

Our editorial calendar continues to evolve. In Q4 2022, the RebelMouse team upgraded code infrastructure to allow clients using the tool to flow custom field data into the calendar.

If you’re interested in using the editorial calendar but aren’t yet, please email support@rebelmouse.com or talk to your account manager to have it configured and set up for you.

HR Updates

At the end of 2022, we had 95 team members across 32 different countries, which means approximately 23% YoY growth in headcount. Also, 20% of 2022’s new hires were referred by current team members, which means that RebelMouse team members love working here and keep referring to us as a great place to work.

Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

Editorial Director Responsible Statecraft

RebelMouse brings 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.

Ryan Koo

CEO No Film School

I love the control panel. Awesome work. I have to say, what an amazing creative team RebelMouse is. I am so grateful!

Terrence O'Hanlon

Founder and Chairman Reliabilityweb

It’s like we’ve been riding horses to commute all our lives and someone just showed us a Tesla.

Brendan Farley

Vice President, Product Management Strada Education Network

Thanks to RebelMouse, United doesn’t have to sacrifice great content for speed. You can have both!

Ryan Bujeker

Director, Social Media Strategy & Digital Engagement United Airlines

We're in a much better position to make it through the current crisis in part due to RebelMouse and their platform. We've not only saved on overhead costs, we've more easily optimized our traffic with their smart measuring and SEO tools, as well as their social integrations.

Jill Braff

President/Chief Operating Officer Brit + Co

THANK YOU for all the good, fast work you put into making our public rollout such a big success. I know we threw a lot at you very quickly, but you were calm under pressure and pulled it all off perfectly. Very glad to be working with you all.

Tim Grieve

Executive Editor Protocol

So inspired and impressed by these results from RebelMouse. Check them out and ask Andrea Breanna how they got there! Just goes to show that spending millions doesn't necessarily get you to the right destination. It's spending no more than you need on the right technology with the right platform that does! 🌐💙🏎️

Andrey Lipattsev

Partner Development Manager Google

It is not often I jump out of my chair and scream in a positive way, but I just did! This is the happiest I have seen my Managing Editor in 2021! Thank you.

Nick Smith

CEO Investing News Network

Working with RebelMouse is an actual treat. From the CEO down, every single member of the team has partnered with us to meet our needs. Everyone willingly (and with endless patience!) shares their expertise and insights to ensure we optimize search and create a great audience experience. As we have implemented the various search tactics, positive results are almost instantaneous. Training our content creators has been simple. The system is incredibly user friendly. As a co-worker commented, "RebelMouse doesn't just sell you something, they partner with you to deliver exactly what you want." I couldn't agree more!

Emma Schofield

Director of Change Management Investing News Network

We continue to be huge fans of RebelMouse and envision a very long-term relationship with the platform. The service has been impeccable.

Douglas Fischer

Executive Director Environmental Health News

I am a HUGE RebelMouse fan, and basically tell everyone I meet who's looking to overhaul their website to get in touch right away.

Susan Hassler

Editor Emeritus IEEE Spectrum

Every member of the RebelMouse team, but especially our project team, are superstars! Our site launch on the platform met all our expectations and we love the technology. We are positive about the future of our site and look forward to improving our approaches and processes with RebelMouse's guidance!

Terrence O'Hanlon

Founder and Chairman Reliabilityweb

RebelMouse's 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 use the best industry standards, especially in terms of page speed.

Chuck Lapointe

CEO Narcity Media

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. When working with the RebelMouse team, I very much consider them to be a partner, rather than just a vendor. 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.

David Nguyen

Senior Director of Digital Marketing Investing News Network

RebelMouse has shepherded us through the modernization phase, and has been keen, practical, and nimble throughout the entire journey. They have helped modernize our website through an infinite scroll setup that allows us more advertising real estate while creating more time on site to capture reader engagement. Plus, the RebelMouse team has helped educate our own team on the various aspects of programmatic advertising and worked to best implement them. Premier Guitar joining forces with RebelMouse in 2020 was one of the best choices we could have made!

Luke Viertel

Digital Strategist Premier Guitar

RebelMouse has stepped up our content management process by providing a user-friendly interface, robust customization options, and seamless collaboration tools.
