How Doopoll's Content Strategy Converts 20% of Site Visitors

Publishing content based on low volume, high intent keywords was the silver bullet that got Doopoll to a 20% conversion rate from their content.

It typically makes sense to create a content strategy based on high volume keywords.

But for Doopoll, an online survey company, publishing content based on low volume, high intent keywords was the silver bullet. One of their articles converts 20% of website visitors.

Marc Thomas, co-founder & CEO of Doopoll, and curator of B2B SaaS newsletter Positive Hüman, used our Wiki strategy to level up his content. He explained all this and more in this episode of the Growth Machine Marketing Podcast.

He also talks about...

Realizing your expertise. Sometimes the content you think is dumb or obvious is actually the content you should create. What’s obvious to you probably isn’t obvious to the people who land on your website — that’s why they’re searching for it.

Writing evergreen content in a timely way. (Webinar attendees might remember this concept. 😉) Doopoll’s unique value is that their survey tool is actually meant to be used in presentations. To tap into this evergreen value in a way that’s most relevant now, Marc wrote an article on how to run a virtual all-hands meeting. The article includes advice on using Doopoll in an all-hands and has become among their top performing pieces of content.

Using PR for effective link building. Marc and his team realized early this year that Doopoll could be an effective tool for gathering COVID-19 survey data. So they pitched the story to a major local news outlet. When other news outlets picked up the story, Doopoll ended up getting over 100 high authority backlinks.

There aren’t a lot of founder-executives who are also content marketing strategists, so I found this conversation with Marc to be especially enlightening.
