Running a lean content program

Challenge

Workona was a beloved productivity tool in need of a wider audience. With a freemium revenue model, it required significant top-of-funnel traffic. As Head of Content, I needed to generate that traffic and turn it into signups.

Results

A content strategy that targeted multiple audiences: Chrome power users, client teams, and “system solvers” (i.e., that coworker who’s eager to streamline clunky workflows). I added quality checks to ensure blog content was truly new and valuable to its intended audience.

Our monthly blog visits grew to 34K, with 1,000+ keywords in the top 10 SERP position. My annual content refreshes helped maintain high traffic—11% MoM growth on average—even when regular publishing wasn’t possible. All of this skyrocketed Workona’s domain reputation from 20 to 64, which made the entire website more visible in organic search.
