There are a couple of general scenarios. Use Embed StatSheet content to augment the sports section of your website with stat charts, schedules, boxscores, standings, stat tables, etc. Second, you can give your writers/bloggers/journalists/analysts access to Embed StatSheet to decorate stories they are writing with relevant statistical content. Instead of linking to another web page that has the stats, articles can have stats embedded within...easily.
Is StatSheet becoming a sports stats provider?
Yeah, you could say that. The major stats providers don't offer a service quite like Embed StatSheet. They offer feeds of raw stats or a full-service package where they host your sports website. Embed StatSheet gives you the flexibility to maintain your own site while providing ready-made content (including high quality charts) that you can easily embed when and where you want. Plus, our database of historical stats is one of the most comprehensive around.
What if I want a stat or chart that isn't available on the site today?
We are always happy to improve the service to meet the needs of our customers and will be adding to the content library over time. If you have just a few requests we can handle those on an as-needed basis. If you want more significant customizations or content designed specifically for your organization, we offer a service on top of Embed StatSheet where we can create custom content for you.
Why would a company pay for your service if users can just go to StatSheet.com?
Short answer: To stay relevant with sports fans, drive engagement, and keep your users coming back.
Long answer: StatSheet is helping usher in a new wave of content and functionality around sports stats. As a result, the expectations of web users are starting to change. The basic, raw stats most sports websites use aren't going to cut it in the future. The Embed StatSheet service can help you stay ahead of the curve by bringing the latest innovations with stats and visualizations to your users.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is typically based on the number of sports, how much content, and how many users from your organization need to access the service. You can read more about our plans or feel free to contact sales@statsheet.com for more information.
Why wouldn't I just embed free charts that are available on StatSheet.com?
StatSheet.com and the Embed StatSheet service are a new spin on the Freemium model. You can embed any chart you see on StatSheet.com for free, but there are several constraints which are not present to customers of Embed StatSheet:
StatSheet.com charts are a snapshot in time and not updated after future games like with Embed StatSheet
You can't modify the look and feel of StatSheet.com charts whereas you can with Embed StatSheet
StatSheet.com lets you embed only charts--you can't embed tables, schedules, boxscores, or any other content that's available from the Embed StatSheet content library.
