More specifically, the best podcast audiogram examples!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you seen those enticing posts on social media, featuring images from a podcast creator you follow? They usually look like a video or reel with an audio wave graphic and a snippet of a podcast episode.<br><br>They\u2019re called podcast audiograms!<br><br>An audiogram is a graphic that can be used on social media and elsewhere to promote your podcast. These images are usually simple, fun, and easy to create\u2014and they&#8217;re another tool in the arsenal of great content creation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll go over what an audiogram is, how to make one, which apps you can use, and why audiograms are a smart content creation strategy for social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-an-audiogram\">What Is An Audiogram?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A podcast audiogram is a visual representation of a short audio clip from a podcast. There are a lot of podcast networks popping up all over the web and they are bringing with them an influx of audiograms simply because they provide a lot of benefits for podcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audiograms are eye-catching. When it comes to images, a picture paints a thousand words, but when it comes to audio files, the possibilities are endless! As audiograms are naturally more engaging than static images or text posts, they&#8217;ll attract people who wouldn&#8217;t necessarily click on links.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be more people hearing about your podcast and making a decision about whether or not they want to listen to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of an audiogram from \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/the-donut-shop\/playlists\/podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Donut Shop Online Marketing Podcast<\/a>\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/646211875?h=e95bdc49f2&amp;title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Should Use Podcast Audiograms In Your Content Marketing Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating podcast audiograms provides a helpful tool for listeners to retain the information they hear. In addition, audiograms for podcasts give you another way to connect with potential new podcast subscribers. If they haven&#8217;t listened to your podcast yet, fans will be more likely to check out your podcast and audio content after seeing an audiogram featured on your social media feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcast audiograms can be a really helpful way to deliver information, whether you&#8217;re providing a message to your audience or just sharing a lively conversation. You\u2019ll be able to provide short poignant clips that deliver value from an episode without needing to listen to the entire episode. Your audience will be able to read the content rather than listening, which is more accessible and also accounts for those that scroll social without their volume on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcast audiograms are a way to brand your podcast \u2013 people think you cannot see audio, but they\u2019re wrong. Audio is represented by what are known as waveforms and waveforms visually represent what you&#8217;re hearing. They&#8217;re a bit boring on their own but when you surround them with the colors, logo, and even faces of your podcast, the audio comes to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add words and you&#8217;ve done what some thought was impossible&#8230; make audio visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audiograms are short clips of audio that can be used to promote podcasts, share episodes on social media, and more. They don&#8217;t have to be very long; in fact, they&#8217;re often just quick snippets. It is also possible to design audiograms in a way that suits the style and theme of your podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, here are three audiogram templates from the Ministry Pass Podcast Network ready to be shared!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/best-podcast-audiogram-examples-1024x595-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2345 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/595;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/best-podcast-audiogram-examples-1024x595-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2345\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An audiogram might contain sound effects like a crash, a chime, or musical interludes in the background that are. An example of this could be sounds from a new smartphone or tablet application if, for example, your series is about how people use technology every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turn Podcast Audio Into Video Clips to Capture Attention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The entrepreneurs who are doing this well are ahead of the curve, getting a boost in their listener count, and a bump in their replay analytics. It can be difficult to market and promote your podcast if it&#8217;s only an audio file, so creating a visual form of the podcast content is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual content is key on social media because it helps to capture people&#8217;s attention. By creating a visual representation of your podcast, you make it easier for people to understand and engage with the content.

If you prefer to have more control over the look and feel of your audiogram, there are also audiogram creator apps that let you customize every element. This comes at the cost of your time or the time of your team if they&#8217;re making them for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create audiograms in minutes with the following elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>MP3 of your audio clip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your podcast or company logo (preferably a transparent PNG)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An established color palette.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of using podcast audiograms? A smart collection of video content and efficient use of your time and podcast collateral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to make an audiogram, don&#8217;t worry! It&#8217;s super easy. You just need a few minutes, a desire to learn, and podcast content&#8230; oh, a computer, too. Even if you don&#8217;t have a podcast, you can still create an audiogram with any type of audio source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audiogram: Turn Audio Into Engaging Social Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/audiogram-podcast-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2344 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/693;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/audiogram-podcast-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2344\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getaudiogram.com\/\">Audiogram<\/a> is a program that turns audio into videos that can be shared on social media.

Networks like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook all have users that would be a perfect listener base for your podcast. If you have a podcast, making an audiogram for each social network is a great way to share your podcast in a unique way to each audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media networks are not just a place to post your latest episode; they&#8217;re where you can grow your listener base and build your brand. This is exactly where audiograms come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created your audiogram(s), all that&#8217;s left is posting them on social media! Just remember: don&#8217;t put too many out at once\u2014you want people to be able to see each individual post without scrolling through tons of other posts first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Podcast Audiograms As Part of A Social Media Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Audiograms are a smart part of a content creation strategy to build authority and community around your brand, your social media, and your podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Upload your audiogram video to social media. Videos perform very well with organic reach.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your podcast will now appear as a video in the network feed and users can get a taste of what your entire podcast is all about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More people consuming samples of what you have to offer will translate into ideal listeners finding the full episode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All of this equals more subscribers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for your content creation strategy to work effectively, you need to plan your social media posts in advance. If you batch create your posts and write them in advance to post on a schedule, you&#8217;ve freed yourself up from needing to post in the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you encounter existing followers on social media, this can be beneficial as well. They may interact with your content the next time via social media, and not realize that you\u2019ve released a new podcast episode. The podcast audiogram post on social media can serve as a reminder for them to listen to your newest episode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a podcaster, it helps give your prior episodes a little more traction after they&#8217;ve had their initial listener spike in your analytics and the traffic has died down. It can help you re-use content you&#8217;ve already created. This is an easy way to \u201cpad\u201d your social media posts with easy content to choose from. You won\u2019t have to start every post from scratch because you\u2019re working smarter, not harder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By enticing your community and followers, you can highlight the meaningful conversations you&#8217;re having on your podcast. This strategy helps you make use of the content you&#8217;ve already created.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving and Organizing Your Podcast Audiograms with Your Other Content Marketing Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Campaign Donut is an amazing resource for housing all of your marketing collateral, like audiograms and podcast files. Not only can you store your data, you can email your listeners and your subscribers right from our platform. With each email, graphic, audio file, social sharing image, and more organized neatly, you save time every time you work on your marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repurpose Podcast Audio to Make Full Use of Your Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s a past episode with content that would be relevant to your social media following in the coming month, make an audiogram from some key parts of your podcast audio.

your business is to connect your beautiful, well-crafted, protected brand image along side a nasty, 230 character URL. That\u2019s where URL shortener services come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve seen URL shortener services in action \u2014 and not even realized it. For those who may not be familiar with what a URL shortener is, we have you covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A URL shortener service takes a long, ugly, nonsensical website address URL, 50, 100, even 200 characters long, and shortens it to a more palatable and pleasing to the eye URL in a standardized format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-abb5709b-460f-48ee-a35d-79a371ae7fbb\">TL;DR &#8211; Which URL Shortener Is Best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just want to know which URL shortener to use?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuttly is full featured and free, but no integrations. If you&#8217;re just looking for a simple URL shortener that provides statistics, Cuttly is hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebrandly is powerful, affordable, and well integrated with other marketing tools and apps. It is not the cheapest, but it is the most forward thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoDaddy is hard to beat if all you need is a simple URL shortener and nothing else. It&#8217;s free to use as long as you have an account with them and integrates with domain names purchased through GoDaddy but not assigned to hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Example of How URL Shorteners Keep Things Clean and Simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have hosted a live stream nearly every week for over a half a year with Steve Edwards of Queen Valley Mule Ranch. During this live stream, Steve will mention a product, service, book, video, or any number of other resources. When he talks about a resource, I hop on the internet and find the link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7E083FF1-42EB-40F4-82ED-B6085925965F-1030x772-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1334 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/772;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7E083FF1-42EB-40F4-82ED-B6085925965F-1030x772-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1334\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">URL shortening becomes very helpful when sharing long links during live streams, keeping links visually appealing and preventing the chat feed from feeling spammy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, Steve mentioned Dr. Robert Miller\u2019s book, <em>Imprint Training of the Newborn Foal<\/em>. As soon as he mentioned it, I went to Amazon to find the link and here is what that link looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Imprint-Training-Newborn-Western-Horseman\/dp\/0911647228\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Imprint-Training-Newborn-Western-Horseman\/dp\/0911647228<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not awful, but certainly not pretty for sharing in the comment section of a live stream. After finding the book on Amazon, I hopped over to a service called Bitly (which we will talk about more below) and shortened that URL to this URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2S76RIv\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/2S76RIv<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is a random string of numbers and letters at the end, but overall, the URL is easier to look at, and removes the attention from the URL itself and places it back on the actual item we\u2019re sharing, Dr. Robert Miller\u2019s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/80D12776-840B-4D3F-AD65-C926AFDC519D.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1336 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 943px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 943\/354;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/80D12776-840B-4D3F-AD65-C926AFDC519D.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1336\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amazon has it&#8217;s own custom branded URL shortener.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">URL Shortener Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While all URL shorteners effectively do the same thing &#8211; shorten long URLs, there is actually quite a variety of additional features offered through URL shortener services and these features are really what separates one service from another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Branded Short URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon URL featured above is an example of the custom short URL \u2014 the URL domain is tailored to the Amazon brand, \u2018amzn.to\u2019. Another name for a custom short URL is branded short URL because the URL domain is matched to the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A branded URL is a small and very effective way to increase the authority, trust, and legitimacy of your brand. Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/custom-short-url\/\">How to Create A Custom Short URL<\/a> article if you\u2019d like to create your own branded short URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Link Analytics and Statistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While I can\u2019t remember the first time I ever used a short URL, I do remember that link analytics and statistics was one of the reasons I started using them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all, but many URL shorteners provide a varying range of statistics such as basic \u201chow many people clicked this link\u201d stats, visitor referral source (Facebook, email, direct), and origin location for each click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics and analytics provide greater insight into how your content is performing and what content you may want to amplify and evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mobile Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile links have become increasingly important in the last five years as more and more companies launch their own mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how they work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You receive an email on your phone from a service like Amazon letting you know about a product on sale. You click the link in the email and your Amazon app opens up, bringing the product up on your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile link is what triggers the Amazon app and without it, you\u2019d be referred to the Amazon website through your browser. It may seem trivial, but user experience is increasingly important and for services that rely heavily on a mobile app experience over  mobile website compatibility, the mobile link connects the user to the service more quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all of the other URL shortener features are still there, some services will use a shortening service specifically for the mobile link feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traffic Routing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While not necessarily an everyday feature, there will be certain times when you may want to direct one user to one page and another user to a different page based on a specific criteria such as user country, user device, language, or other factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URL shortener services give you the ability to customize a user\u2019s experience. As is the case with mobile links, it may not seem like an earth-moving feature, but to create a smoother experience catered to a user\u2019s specific need, it is a very important feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">URL Shortener Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may not be immediately apparent why you would want to integrate a URL shortener with other services, as you further develop your content marketing strategy you\u2019ll think up more ways to better represent your brand across every channel and in every location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating your URL shortener with social sharing tools, email services, and other content marketing tools is a very important feature set that is worth taking note of when you go to select a url shortener service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to provide one example, if you\u2019re using a social media scheduling tool such as Buffer or Hootsuite and want to use your own branded short URL, you will want to make sure that the service you choose has a native integration with the social media scheduling tool you use. Without a native integration, you\u2019ll find yourself doing a lot of manual work or bypassing your shortener altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">URL Shortener Services \u2014 A Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no shortage of URL shortener services. It is a very competitive niche that is evolving every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first began using URL shorteners in my social media posts, the two options I had to choose from were Bitly and Google&#8217;s own URL shortener. Since that time, dozens of services have appeared and Google&#8217;s service is no longer a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a roundup of the most worthy players in the URL shortening service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capsulink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/capsulink-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1469 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/455;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/capsulink-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1469\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a summary of what Capsulink has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features Offered by Capsulink<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of this writing, Capsulink doesn&#8217;t have a features page, but they do list some of the features in their home page copy. Here are those features taken from their homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Broken Link Repair<\/strong>: Empower your short links to never lose traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Branded Domains<\/strong>: Use custom domains to create branded short links.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analytics<\/strong>: Analytical tools to optimize your marketing strategies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Traffic Flow<\/strong>: Edit target URLs, employ password-protected links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capsulink&#8217;s Native Integrations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of this writing, Capsulink does not list or provide information on any native integrations with their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Capsulink has a very generous free plan, especially when compared to other services. Here are a few key points of the free plan: unlimited url shortening, basic statistics and 5,000 clicks per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note, the free plan does not include a custom domain for your shortener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Capsulink&#8217;s entry level plan, the Pro at $5 monthly, includes a single custom domain. All additional features that Capsulink offers are available on the Pro plan minus API access. Higher level plans include higher thresholds for number of custom domains, clicks, smart URLs, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features found in the paid plans include the following: expanded statistics, editable shortened URLs, password protected links, and default URL modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-5166d4e1-243c-44a1-80bc-a72c470a414c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capsulink.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Capsulink<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rebrandly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rebrandly-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1474 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/530;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rebrandly-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1474\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a summary of what Rebrandly has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features Offered by Rebrandly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebrandly does a fantastic job of highlighting everything offered through their service. You&#8217;ll want to visit their <a href=\"https:\/\/rebrandly.com\/features?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"features page (opens in a new tab)\">features page<\/a> for a full breakdown of what you can do with Rebrandly. Here are several of their most important features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Workspaces and Teammates<\/strong>: For larger teams, this gives you the ability to organize and collaborate on large sets of links with different teammates, each one with their own unique access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analytics<\/strong>: A UTM link builder baked into the platform, individual link analytics, multiple report options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Link Management<\/strong>: Editable destination URLs, custom URL slugs, link search, UTM presets, link expiration dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traffic Routing<\/strong>: 301 SEO redirects, link retargeting, open graph control, links with emojis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rebrandly&#8217;s Native Integrations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the areas where Rebrandly shines over many of the other URL shortener services. Rebrandly has been very aggressive with building out native integrations and also includes integration with Zapier, which opens up hundreds of additional integrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of the finer integrations offered by Rebrandly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apps &amp; Extensions<\/strong>: Firefox, iOS App, Android App, macOS App, Bookmarklet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Productivity Integrations<\/strong>: Google Sheets Add-on, Slack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social Media Integrations<\/strong>: Meet Edgar, Social Pilot, Viral Tag, Social Bee, TweetBot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation<\/strong>: Zoho Flow, Zapier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebrandly offers a very generous free plan that includes your own custom domain. In fact, you can have up to five custom domains on the free plan and shorten up to 500 links. If all you need is link shortening with a custom domain, the free plan will have you covered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The paid plans from Rebrandly are pretty competitive to price points by other URL shortener services and given the expansive features included, Rebrandly comes in at a good value. But just <em>how<\/em> good of a value? That will depend on which plan you pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rebrandly-pricing-custom-url-shortener.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rebrandly-pricing-custom-url-shortener.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1477 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/470;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rebrandly-pricing-custom-url-shortener.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1477\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rebrandly&#8217;s free plan is more generous than many other service&#8217;s entry level paid plans.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The lowest paid plan, the Starter, comes in at $29 monthly. That would seem high, except for the fact that the free plan is actually more feature packed than low level paid plans from other services. Each paid plan escalates the number of branded links you can create, total trackable links, and custom domain names you can use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Rebrandly does not make their entire feature set available across all plans. Enterprise features such as teams, API access, and mobile deep linking are only available on their enterprise plan at $499 monthly or via custom plan. Of course, if all you&#8217;re looking for is link shortening, this is a non issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Starter plan is $29 and the next and most popular plan (according to their site) is the Pro plan and that comes in at $69 monthly. This plan really does open up the majority of the value Rebrandly has to offer. So while it might be a little more than other offerings, it does come with more value. It just depends on whether or not you need or want to pay the premium for some of the features Rebrandly offers that others don&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-5166d4e1-243c-44a1-80bc-a72c470a414c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rebrandly.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Rebrandly<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bitly-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1479 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/581;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bitly-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1479\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitly is the granddaddy of the URL shortening family. As I mentioned above, it was one of the two services I found when I first wanted to shorten URLs. The primary feature of Bitly is straight up link shortening for free. If you wanted to track your links, you could sign up for a free account, and after a while they allowed free accounts a custom domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their paid plans were almost exclusively for enterprise customers and, if my memory serves me correctly, their plans began at around $1,000 monthly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 2017 or 2018, Bitly made changes to their pricing structure in order to monetize the entry level users and their new paid plan is slightly more generous than their old plan used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitly was one of the first tools to offer custom domain URLs and we have a tutorial, <a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/custom-short-url\/\">How to Create A Custom Short URL<\/a>, that shows you how to go through the steps of creating your own custom short URL using Bitly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a summary of what Bitly has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features Offered by Bitly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest value that Bitly offers has everything to do with the fact that they are integrated into everything. Because they&#8217;ve been around so long, nearly any service utilizing short urls integrates directly with Bitly, natively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the native integrations, the Bitly feature set according to their website includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Link Shortening<\/strong>: You can use Bitly&#8217;s generic link shortener anytime and create an unlimited number of links without an account. If you want to monitor your links, you&#8217;ll need an account, free or paid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Branded Links<\/strong>: You can add one custom domain on their entry level paid plan and if you have a customized plan, you can also have links created by other sites that use Bitly, use your custom domain (very cool).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile Links<\/strong>: Directly route users to the right destination from your mobile communications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Campaign Management &amp; Analytics<\/strong>: Track and optimize every digital initiative using Bitly\u2019s best-in-class analytics tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitly&#8217;s Native Integrations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitly has more integrations than you could ever want or need. Because it&#8217;s been around the longest and because it is the industry leader, there is a very high chance that Bitly will integrate with the tools you need to use for your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Zapier, they have a list of Help articles which outline some of the native integrations it offers. Check out Bitly&#8217;s integrations <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/support.bitly.com\/hc\/en-us\/sections\/206673768-Integrations-\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the free plan from Bitly has evolved over the years and is fairly minimal in its feature set and usefulness in its modern form. That said, yes, they do offer a free plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the free plan you receive 1,000 shortened links, tagging, filtering, and customizing the back half of your links (50 links). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After years without a consumer or entry level paid plan, Bitly introduced a single paid plan called Basic which is $35 monthly. This paid plan unlocks branded links, a higher number of links per month, and email support. If you have more specific needs or want access to features such as a baked-in UTM builder or mobile deep links you&#8217;ll need to contact Bitly about a customized plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-5166d4e1-243c-44a1-80bc-a72c470a414c\" href=\"https:\/\/bitly.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Bitly<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Godaddy URL Shortener<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/godaddy-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1499 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/510;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/godaddy-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1499\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a branded domain hidden gem that you have free access to with GoDaddy. If you have a domain that is parked or being forwarded, the GoDaddy Shortener allows you to create a branded URL \u2014 you can put that domain to use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features Offered by GoDaddy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The URL shortener offered by GoDaddy is straight forward \u2014 paste a link, choose the domain you want to use to shorten with, create a back half (if you want), and shorten. That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to use your own domain \u2014 you can use GoDaddy&#8217;s go2l.ink domain or their x.co domain if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s pretty much all the service offers, which, if all you need is a branded short url, is pretty awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a Chrome extension that you can install for easy access to create a short URL \u2014 you don&#8217;t have to revisit GoDaddy&#8217;s website whenever you want to create a new shortened URL. This extension is an exact clone of the website and doesn&#8217;t offer anything that the website doesn&#8217;t offer other than shortcut access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GoDaddy&#8217;s URL shortening service is free to use with your GoDaddy account \u2014 meaning, you need to be logged in to use it. Once logged in, you can create as many shortened URLs as you need (or desire). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, there is no paid plan for using GoDaddy&#8217;s URL shortener. The only &#8216;purchase&#8217; you need to make is buying a domain to use with the service if you do not want to use GoDaddy&#8217;s go2l.ink or x.co URLs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-5166d4e1-243c-44a1-80bc-a72c470a414c\" href=\"https:\/\/shortener.godaddy.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit GoDaddy<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short CM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/short-cm-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1501 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/497;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/short-cm-url-shortener-service.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1501\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features of Short.cm<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Short.cm gives  you access to all of the features you&#8217;d expect from a shortening service and in very generous portions. Branded links, manage multiple domains, statistics, roles, tracking, and integrations! Yep, it&#8217;s all there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In browsing their website, the one feature that stood out as particularly useful was the easy-to-interpret statistics dashboard. Short.cm isn&#8217;t offering any different or special statistics. They are providing you the same data set that others provide. However, the <em>way<\/em> they provide them makes it much easier to interpret and understand how your links are performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of other features offered by Short.cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Branded Links<\/strong>: Customize your short URL, the original URL, link title, and manage your tags.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Domains &amp; Subdomains<\/strong>: Create and manage domain and subdomain URLs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team Links<\/strong>: Form a team with a set of domains and group of members with different rights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Campaign Tracking<\/strong>: Track online marketing campaigns using short URLs.

Short.cm does offer a Zapier integration which opens up the possibility of integrating with hundreds of apps. As far as native integrations, on their website they list the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Zapier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slack \u2014 Create short links right from a Slack channel by typing &#8216;shorten&#8217;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Segment \u2014 Send link statistics with one API to hundreds of tools for analytics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Analytics \u2014 Send every click of your short link to Google Analytics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook Pixel \u2014 Retarget ads to people who clicked your short links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Short.cm&#8217;s free plan gives you access to every feature in their &#8220;Essentials&#8221; feature set. This includes secure SSL, tagging links, QR codes, UTM builder, custom domains, redirects, and tracked links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re on the free plan you are limited to one user, three custom domains, 1,000 total branded links, and 50,000 tracked links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not yet ready to pay for a url shortening service but want to get a feel for all they have to offer, the Short.cm free plan is a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you decide to upgrade to a paid plan with Short.cm, you get a lot of value. Their entry level paid plan, Personal, is $20 monthly and increases your custom domains to 10, your total branded links to 10,000, and unlimited tracked links. You also gain access to country targeting, link expiration, link cloaking, referrer hiding, and password protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you want or need more \u2014 the next plan, Team, is $50 monthly and unlocks region targeting, deep links, and gives you the option of using a dedicated IP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you need even more \u2014 perhaps for a large team, they do offer an Enterprise plan at $150 monthly and that unlocks the remainder of their features, including SSO, multiple teams, and other enterprise features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-5166d4e1-243c-44a1-80bc-a72c470a414c\" href=\"https:\/\/short.cm\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit Short.cm<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuttly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cuttly-url-shortener.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1505 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/552;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cuttly-url-shortener.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1505\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuttly is a very interesting service because it is 100% absolutely free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Cutt.ly lets you understand more about click-through of your links.

Cuttly definitely has link tracking and statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Cuttly, A FREE Custom URL Shortener Demo...

A few services you will notice using their own branded URL include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: Every link shared on Twitter, including links in Direct Messages, are shortened using Twitter&#8217;s URL shortener, http:\/\/t.co link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: Links shortened on Bitly will convert to Amazon&#8217;s amzn.to URL and links created via Amazon&#8217;s affiliate program, as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spotify<\/strong>: Links shortened on Bitly will convert to Spotify&#8217;s spoti.fi URL. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just three examples of links you&#8217;ll find are auto shortened when shared online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts On URL Shortening Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best takeaway regarding URL shortening services is that there is a good fit for nearly anyone and nearly every use case. What&#8217;s more, URL shortening services have come a long way in regards to what they can do beyond just making links pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to choose the right URL shortener for you is to identify exactly what you need the tool to do and then find the service that does it at a cost that fits within your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any question about integrating a URL shortening service into your workflow, <a id=\"beacon\" style=\"cursor:pointer;color: #00B28D\" class=\"mce-item-anchor\">send us a message<\/a> or leave a comment below.

There are all sorts of social proof apps and social proof softwares available, but which is right for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re in luck&#8230; helping you find a service that meets your needs and budget is what this post is all about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Marketing Popup Notifications Work for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about nearly every social proof app we include in our round up is that the notifications look good right out of the gate. You don&#8217;t need to make any changes or customizations to your notifications to have them look good on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, each service provider does a good job providing starting text for your notification. Maybe you&#8217;ll make a small tweak to the wording here or add a title there, but for the most part, you&#8217;re ready to publish within minutes of creating your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, most people will want to go beyond using everything straight out of the box \u2014 you will, no doubt, want to make language and design changes to better integrate the marketing popups into your brand. So, in order to make social proof marketing work for you, here are a few suggestions regarding design, language, and integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design Your Social Proof Popups to Be On Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three elements to nearly every social proof notification: color, icon, and shape. Keeping these three elements consistent across all your social proof marketing popups is essential to finding success with social proof notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customizing Colors for Your Notifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In regards to injecting color into your design, each social proof app will have different elements you can change color for. For instance, in the screenshot below we have customized the color for the name title and the Prove Source branding. The message text and the time stamp text is not editable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image-border\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-notification-popup-color-customizations.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1298 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/385;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-notification-popup-color-customizations.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1298\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prove Source allows you to customize the color of the name and the Prove Source branding.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Take a look at a social proof example from a different service \u2014 instead of being able to customize the count and the text separately, all the text shares the same color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/infulence-social-proof-notification-color-customization.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1299 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 701px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 701\/485;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/infulence-social-proof-notification-color-customization.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1299\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using the influence Bulk Activity live count notifications, all text shares the same color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing colors for your notifications it is important that all the colors be consistent across all notifications. Stick to a specific combination of colors \u2014 one primary, one accent, and one font color. Using different shades of colors throughout all your designs will lower brand consistency which in turn diminishes trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting Icons and Images for Your Notification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all, but many social proof softwares will allow you to upload icons to your notifications. The default image is often a map or generic avatar \u2014 uploading icons allow you to inject your brand into the design and tighten up the overall brand experience on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As great as being able to upload icons and images is, it can go sideways really quickly if the designs do not compliment the brand as a whole and are mismatched from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Campaign Donut we chose to have a set of custom icons created and we used those icons for our notifications to maintain consistency with our overall brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-marketing-notifications-icon-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1300 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/514;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-marketing-notifications-icon-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1300\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Should you choose to use your own icons and graphics on your notifications, use a family of images that are visually consistent with each other.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not yet have a set of icons that you rely on for your brand, here are several places you can find large families of icons that will work for your brand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a aria-label=\"Creative Market (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/search?q=illustrated%20icons&amp;categoryIDs=1,26&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Market<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Graphic River (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/graphicriver.net\/graphics-with-illustrated+icons-in-icons#content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graphic River<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Media Loot (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/medialoot.com\/icons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Media Loot<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing Your Marketing Notification Shape<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Each social proof app will offer their own collection of pop up shapes customizations. The two most common shapes across all software developers is the rounded shape and the squared shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some apps will have variations of rounded and squared. Some will allow you to choose the overall border radius. Whatever you choose, make sure to stay consistent across all your notifications. Using the same shape across all your notifications will create a stronger visual brand which will increase trust and brand value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Proof Marketing Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating your social proof notifications into your current marketing stack is incredibly important \u2014 capturing conversions and sending live data updates to the notifications popping up on your site is the life-blood of the entire social proof notification concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more integrations, the better \u2014 however, it is important to understand the crux of how most services will capture conversions and turn them into a popup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard way of capturing data for a social proof notification popup is done with a small snippet of code placed on the same page as the capture form. This small snippet of code latches on to the form, captures the fields provided, and sends that data back to the service app and then uses that data to produce the notification popup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you are running a webinar and you want to show a social proof notification on the registration page saying &#8220;Bob has registered for the SEO webinar&#8221; to encourage other visitors to register as well. In the header code of your  registration page, you would place the small snippet of code to capture the name and location data of the person registering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/leadpages-tracking.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1258 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/432;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/leadpages-tracking.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1258\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, the tracking code will pick up the name and location for every individual who registers for that webinar. The data will be sent back to the social proof app, and the app will push a new notification to the page or pages of your website where you want the notification to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All but one of the services included in our roundup utilize this method of capture which works for any website where you have a form as well as the ability to inject code into the header of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Proof WordPress Plugin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using WordPress you may be wondering, &#8220;Is there a social proof WordPress plugin I&#8217;ll need to install?&#8221; and the answer is maybe. Many social proof app developers will offer a WordPress plugin to either make installation easy for everyone and\/or provide a deeper integration into the website itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that there are standalone social proof WordPress plugins that offer marketing and social proof without a third party service \u2014 however you must be using WordPress for them to run which means you won&#8217;t be able to integrate them into any website pages hosted outside of your WordPress install. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this article we&#8217;re covering only third-party services because of their ability to integrate across all platforms including Shopify, Squarespace, Leadpages, Clickfunnels, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Integrations Beyond Form Capture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond using the pixel method to capture submissions, there are direct integrations you may want to take advantage of, especially if you are using a shopping cart service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento integration will not only generate a marketing notification saying &#8220;Bob from Phoenix just completed a purchase.&#8221; \u2014 it will also allow you to send more specific data to the popup such as what you see in the image below &#8220;Danna (Missouri, US) recently placed an order Downhill Hip Saddle Pad)&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shopping-cart-social-proof-notification.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shopping-cart-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1260 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/644;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shopping-cart-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1260\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When you integrate your social proof notification service directly with a shopping cart, you can provide product specific information on orders that come through.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond shopping cart integrations, you will want to consider additional integrations such as reviews (Google, Facebook), payment processing (Stripe), analytics (Google, Segment), email marketing service (Mailchimp, Drip, ActiveCampaign), and CRM apps (Pipedrive, Agile CRM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major Differences In Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary pricing differentiator for all services we cover includes the ability to remove branding and total number of visitors per month to see your notifications. You will find there are other variables that may appear in different plans, such as dedicated support agent and number of domains you can install the service on, but visitor count and branding are the two big ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In almost all cases, you will have access to all features but will pay for a larger plan if you need more visitors. So, you may have access to activity notifications and live count notifications in a starter plan, but you&#8217;ll need a larger plan if your site visits exceed 1,000, 10,000, even 50,000 visitors in a one-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to branding, you&#8217;ll find that these social proof apps will allow you to remove branding once you pay for a second or third tier plan. <strong>NOTE: <\/strong>Even in cases where your plan <em>would<\/em> allow you to remove branding, retaining the third-party branding provides an important and valuable &#8216;verified&#8217; impact \u2014&nbsp;increasing the trust and authenticity of the conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image-border\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-verification-badge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1262 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 702px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 702\/186;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/social-proof-verification-badge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1262\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Retaining the branding from your social proof service acts as a non-bias, third-party verification and can increase trust in the conversion and your company.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Personally, the reason I appreciate having the verification on my notifications is because I do not want to be accused of using a fake social proof plugin where I can create false registrations and conversions. Of course, there are always methods for working around this, but for the Campaign Donut brand, we want to do things the right way and build strong trust. We say &#8220;no&#8221; to using fake social proof plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there may be some cases where removing the branding is desirable, there are still many applications where it is advisable to retain the branding \u2014 especially if it can be customized to match the look of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ProveSource | Skyrocket Your Conversions with Social Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-social-proof-popup-1030x560-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1181 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/560;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-social-proof-popup-1030x560-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1181\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Notifications Available with Prove Source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stream<\/strong>: The Prove Source Stream notification is the baseline notification that reports the actions individual people have taken on your website related to a specific conversion: signups, registrations, purchases, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Informational<\/strong>: The Prove Source Informational notification allows you to present arbitrary information to your visitors such as guarantees and security statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Counter<\/strong>: The Prove Source Counter notification provides cumulative counts for recent actions taken on your website including how many visitors your site has had, how many purchases have been made, number of registrations, or how many current visitors are on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reviews<\/strong>: The Prove Source Review notification pulls a stream of individual reviews from Google, Trust Pilot, and Reviews.io.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Combo<\/strong>: The Prove Source Combo notification is similar to the Counter notification but is cumulative counts over a specified period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/provesrc.com?aff=f243289b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit ProveSource<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Prove Source Notification Popups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prove Source has a single notification widget style that is apparent across all notification types.

Minus some getting familiar with the terms and overall functionality of social proof notifications, Prove Source is intuitive and makes creating your first notification easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create your notification, Prove Source takes you through six steps to launch the notification live on the website. Each step is straight forward and the constant preview in the lower lefthand corner of the screen shows you exactly how your changes will look once the popup is live on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/prove-source-social-proof-notification-screenshot.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-social-proof-notification-screenshot-1030x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1211 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/512;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-social-proof-notification-screenshot-1030x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1211\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prove Source provides a variety of customizations from messaging, to icons, to colors.

While not a huge deal, this does mean that either the platform you want to feed notifications from will need to work with webhooks or have an integration with a tool like Zapier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the limited integrations, Prove Source&#8217;s pixel code functions like most social proof apps and actually captures the user&#8217;s form input on the page where they take action. All you need to do is tell Prove Source which URL you would like to track actions from (be it filling out a form or otherwise) and then customize the message for that action. Prove Source will do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prove Source Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prove Source does not offer a &#8220;Free Trial&#8221; so-to-speak&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;rather they have a limited free plan available as well as a 14-day money back guarantee on their paid plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free plan allows you to create one notification and limits you to 1,000 monthly visitors (which means your notifications can be seen by a maximum of 1,000 devices). The free plan does not allow for you to customize the branding of the Prove Source popup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you want to have complete control right out of the gate and be able to create multiple notifications, they offer a money back guarantee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team from Prove Source has proven (no pun intended) to be reliable and helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prove Source Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The pricing plans offered by Prove Source are very competitive, if not disruptive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the free plan, the lowest plan option from Prove Source is the $19 monthly Starter Plan and gives you access to all social proof marketing features, unlimited notifications, allows for 10,000 monthly visitors, but limits your ability to remove the Prove Source branding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Start Plan comes the Growth Plan at $49 monthly and removes branding limitations and increases visitors to 50,000 monthly visitors. At this point, you have access to everything Prove Source has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their Gorilla plan, which is the highest plan (before their unlimited option), is $199 monthly and allows for 500,000 visitors per month. This is where Prove Source is really disruptive. This same plan can run twice, even three times as much on other platforms with similar features, making Prove Source a great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fomo | Social Proof Marketing Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fomo-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x550-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1186 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/550;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/fomo-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x550-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1186\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fomo is a very popular social proof notification popup option.

From colors, to images, to fonts, to merge fields \u2014 you can do A LOT to dial in your notification to look, feel, and say exactly what you want. As of this writing, they offer seven different notification popup templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fomo also has A LOT of native integrations. Whereas some social proof popup services will claim &#8220;thousands of integrations&#8221; delivered through third party tools, Fomo offers direct integrations with dozens of popular services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-8159301a-5d57-41c6-bf61-677b7289e209\">Biggest Drawback of Fomo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fomo is complicated to use. It probably didn&#8217;t help that a great deal of their support documentation was out of date and referencing an old user interface. The documentation being out of date required us to constantly seek help directly from their team which slowed down our ability to implement even the simplest changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While our email provider was supported natively, to dial in popups for specific actions taken by our users inside of our email system, we needed to contact support to have those notifications configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we had more patience to become Fomo experts there would definitely be a lot to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-b78d42de-1cad-48b0-b104-b9ee76c068f7\">Fomo Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fomo does offer a 14-day free trial. After signing up for the free trial, we were given access to their Essential plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their support was great when our account was live and when it was time to cancel our account, there were no problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-29e53fd1-c78e-45c2-b053-0030014eeca3\">Fomo Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fomo is on the more affordable end of the spectrum, given that their essential plan has access to all features minus A\/B Split Testing and API Implementation Support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between the plans is how many notifications you&#8217;ll be allowed to display per month. As of this writing, the Essential Plan runs $39 monthly and includes 50,000 notifications across unlimited domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle tier Plus Plan is $79 monthly and includes 250,000 notifications per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the third and highest tier is the Advanced Plan which provides 3,000,000 notifications per month plus API Implementation Support, Managed A\/B Split Testing, and Optimization Support. The Optimization Support costs $29 for users of other plans and is described on their website as the following service: <em>&#8220;For a $29 one time fee, our team of technical support engineers will personally inspect your setup and implement improvements to help you get the most of Fomo.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proof | Increase Website Conversions With Social Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-social-proof-widget-1030x541-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1180 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/541;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-social-proof-widget-1030x541-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1180\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Proof was the very first social proof notification service we tried at Campaign Donut. It has an &#8220;industry leader&#8221; feel to the brand, the product interface, and the actual notification itself. Nearly everything about Proof feels polished and professional, making it a great option for getting started with displaying social proof marketing notifications on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/provesrc.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Proof<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Notifications Available with Proof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activity<\/strong>: The Proof Activity notification is the standard feed of showing an individual user&#8217;s specific conversion action. This is the feed to show a registration, lead generation, purchase, or other individual action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live Visitor Count<\/strong>: The Proof Live Visitor Count notification is a cumulative count on current visitors on a particular domain or a particular page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hot Streak<\/strong>: The Proof Hot Streak notification shows how many cumulative actions were taken by all users for either page visits or conversions in a 24 hour time period. For page visits, you can either select specific page visits or page visits across the entire domain. For conversions, the notification will specify how many users completed the specified goal for the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conversion Card<\/strong>: The Proof Conversion card allows you to send an informational prompt, void of any metrics, encouraging users to take a particular action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Proof Notification Popups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Proof notification widget maintains a consistent Proof style across the entire line. Aside from customizing the message, there are two overall &#8216;looks&#8217; you can choose from for your widget: rounded corners or boxy corners. There are no color customizations (that we could find) and there are no style customizations (outside of the corner selection).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/89;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/89;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217\"\/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-live-visitor-count.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1218 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/81;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-live-visitor-count.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1218\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-hot-streak-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1219 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/82;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-hot-streak-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1219\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-conversion-card-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1221 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/287;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-conversion-card-social-proof-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1221\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Advantage of Proof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage of Proof is they are viewed as the industry leader. How is that an advantage? They continue to innovate and come up with new ways to leverage the in browser proof notification for marketing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire concept of social proof notifications is simple and each service delivers an end result that is almost identical to what you could get from another service \u2014 Proof separates itself from parody by innovating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last year they&#8217;ve added split testing and goals \u2014 two items that other companies have since copied to their own platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After using Proof for nearly a year, it was clear they were committed to evolving their platform and adding new experimental features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Drawback of Proof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a drawback of Proof, the pricing will certainly give you a reason for pause. Their pricing is, by far, the most expensive for the social proof app space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many services will offer a free plan or an entry level plan in the teens, Proof starts at $29 monthly for their Basic Monthly plan. In addition to being a more expensive entry level plan, they also strip out a considerable number of features, reserved for their Pro and Business plans. They also limit the number of visitors to 1,000 which is on par with other free plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we first began using Proof, configuring our notifications was very simple and easy to customize. With the introduction of Goals and A\/B Split Testing, the process became confusing because of compulsory nature of these new features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an effort to provide more evidence to customers that Proof helps increase conversions, it is now mandatory to create a goal and run A\/B Split Testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we went to create a new notification that could not be tracked using their goal feature, we were still required to create and associate a goal \u2014 no way around it. After speaking with support we discovered that we could choose an arbitrary goal just to get past the screen. Once past, we were required to run an A\/B Split Test. Even though we could make the decision to send all traffic to our Proof widget, the interface still showed A\/B Split Testing, which was aggravating since we did not want to run a split test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth underscoring that their team is super responsive, very kind, and was receptive to the feedback we provided about the service being priced too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proof Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proof does offer a 14-day free trial for all of their plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their support has always been responsive and quick to reply, helping you make the most of your free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proof Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, Proof is expensive. After your free trial expires, you&#8217;re looking at $29 monthly. On the Basic Plan Monthly you receive 1,000 visitors per month and do not have access to Live Visitor Counts, Conversion Cards, Hot Streaks, or Priority Support (thought it&#8217;s not clear what the difference is between priority and standard support). <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image-border\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-social-proof-notification-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1264 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/832;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-social-proof-notification-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1264\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Proof provides an increase on your visitor limit when you pay for an annual plan.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The next pricing point is their Pro Plan which is $79 monthly. When you choose this plan, you receive 10,000 monthly visitors, Live Visitor Counts, and Hot Streaks. Unfortunately, you will still not have access to their entire feature set: Conversion Cards are reserved for the next plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third pricing option is the Business Plan which is $129 monthly. On this plan, you finally receive access to all features and 50,000 visitors per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the Business Plan, each step provides additional visitors \u2014 no additional features. Their top monthly plan is $299 and includes 300,000 visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing any plan on an annual basis does provide a slight cost reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One notable item missing is the ability to remove or customize branding. When you search their help center for the option to remove branding, they do offer to remove branding for those on the Business plan and higher \u2014 though it has to be done manually and is either an all or nothing proposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-verified.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1237 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/439;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-verified.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1237\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We actually don&#8217;t mind leaving the Verified by Proof branding, especially because when users click on the link they are taken to a page that explains what &#8220;Verified by Proof&#8221; actually means.

While other services may have a low price point or offer unlimited visitors, there are no other services that offer both disruptive pricing plus unlimited visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unlimited visitors feature may not be as important for individuals using Provely&#8217;s single domain plan (after all, many websites don&#8217;t eclipse 50,000 monthly visitors \u2014 much less, 10,000), however, for those who are using social proof ads on multiple websites (and for clients), the unlimited visitor feature will be ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Drawbacks of Provely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The impression Provely created with its website is largely confirmed immediately after purchasing Provely and then using the app. I would describe the overall experience as &#8220;unpolished&#8221; and shifty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after signing up for Provely, you&#8217;re presented with two additional opportunities to spend money. This is pretty typical for info products but feels a little unscrupulous for a software product. These bump and tripwire offers left me wondering if Provely is a legitimate software company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you log into the website, the process of creating your notification feels unpolished and clunky \u2014&nbsp;as if there wasn&#8217;t much thought put into the workflow experience and it was built just to function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some, this may not be a drawback. However, after interacting with other services for the purpose of writing this article, the Provely interface feels like a dramatic downgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/provely-social-proof-notification-create-dashboard-1030x677-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1248 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/677;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/provely-social-proof-notification-create-dashboard-1030x677-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1248\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Provely provides a large selection of notification designs, but the customization to those designs are minimal, including limited options for fonts and images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All that said, the functionality is there, the product works, and Provely delivers exactly what it claims on the sales page \u2014 how it delivers on its promise leaves something to be desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provely Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Provely does not offer a free trial, but does provide a 30-day money back guarantee. We signed up for their smallest plan to check out the product and when we requested a refund they provided it the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Provely Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The pricing for Provely is very straightforward and very affordable. The differentiator between each plan is the number of domains you can install their social proof app on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The least expensive plan, Basic, is $17 monthly and allows you to run Provely on a single domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second plan, the Pro, is $27 monthly and allows Provely to run on up to five domains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third, and most expensive plan is the Ultimate which unlocks all domain restrictions and allows Provely to run on as many domains as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an approximate 50% discount for purchasing Provely annually and with a 30-day money back guarantee, it&#8217;s a great way to try the product and secure great savings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Morevago | Display Reviews, Build Trust, and Get New Customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-1030x516-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1183 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/516;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-1030x516-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1183\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Morevago social proof notification services focuses their attention on displaying reviews as the primary driver of social proof for customers. Unlike the other social proof apps featured in this round up, Morevago does not automatically capture your conversions or track your site activity in real time \u2014&nbsp;you manually add your reviews and notification content to each campaign you&#8217;d like to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morevago.com\/?utm_source=campaigndonut.com&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Morevago<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Notifications Available with Morevago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Morevago offers one type of notification called a Sticky Review. What makes the Sticky Review unique is that you can customize the individual item to say whatever you would like. So while technically speaking you only have one notification available, in theory you could create an unlimited amount of  notification types by customizing the Sticky Review to suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Morevago Notification Popups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are five designs to choose from with the Morevago service \u2014&nbsp;and with each campaign you can customize the notification background color, heading color, and text color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Morevago chooses to handle the individual notifications, Sticky Reviews, separate from campaigns, this means that you can apply one Sticky Review to multiple campaigns and each review you use will take on the unique design traits of each campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, when you&#8217;re designing your campaign notification style, there is no preview of your work \u2014&nbsp;you have to wait until the changes are published to view them on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-round-popoup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/82;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-round-popoup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/88;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/88;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252\"\/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-split-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1253 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/78;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-split-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1253\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-oval-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1254 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/89;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-oval-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1254\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-oval-2-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/92;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-oval-2-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Advantage of Morevago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to create a custom stream of unique reviews and notifications and assign them to a myriad of campaigns is a capability not offered by any other service we&#8217;ve tried. To be able to create a notification that brings in your best reviews from all across the internet \u2014 including email and chat bot messages&nbsp;\u2014 is incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the ability to run a single &#8220;Sticky Review&#8221; across multiple campaigns could be very useful in some circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Drawback of Morevago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, we were going to list the biggest drawback as not automatically capturing new conversions as they happen or bringing in reviews when they&#8217;re published to various reviews sites \u2014&nbsp;however, since this is what makes Morevago uniquely different, we couldn&#8217;t list it as a drawback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary drawback with Morevago is a lack of savvy and artistic design. This drawback applies not only in the app experience itself, but also the individual notification designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the same notification styles below, there is a clear drop off in quality of design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/88;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/88;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/morevago-social-proof-notification-rounded-corner-popup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1252\"\/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-counter-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1205 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/76;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-counter-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1205 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/76;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/prove-source-counter-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1205\"\/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/89;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/89;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-recent-activity-notification.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1217\"\/><\/noscript><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire design is lacking which will diminish the ability to brand your notifications and take more time to dial in those which you would choose to use.

This plan does not include the ability to remove the Morevago logo and limits your notification installation to a single domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second plan is the $19.99 Plus plan which allows you to use Morevago on a single domain like the Starter, but with Plus you can remove the Morevago logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Premium plan is the third tier and is $29.99 monthly, providing you with the ability to install Morevago on up to 5 domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final plan listed on their site is the Agency plan which is $197 monthly and allows for you to install Morevago on unlimited domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proof Factor | Free Plugins to Increase Your Conversions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x553-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1184 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/553;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x553-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1184\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Proof Factor feels like a straight-forward social proof app right from the moment you first arrive on their website.

This would include changing colors for background, border, text, as well as link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-rounded.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1270 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/67;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-rounded.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1270\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-squared.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1271 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/67;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-squared.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1271\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-aggregate-visitor.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1272 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/69;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-aggregate-visitor.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1272\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-fortune-wheel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1273 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/349;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/proof-factor-social-proof-notification-popup-fortune-wheel.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1273\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Advantage of Proof Factor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you compare all the social proof notification services to one another, there is one major advantage of Proof Factor over the rest of the competition&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;the Budding Entrepreneur plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plan is 100% free, gives you access to the entire suite of products and allows for up to 1,000 visitors per month. What this speaks to is the overall value provided in Proof Factor. Whether you are just testing an idea or have a solid product ready to sell, you only pay when you use their platform beyond the 1,000 visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Proof Factor&#8217;s system is very easy to use so you&#8217;re not sacrificing functionality for cost \u2014 you can log in and create high end notifications easily, right away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Drawback of Proof Factor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to find any drawback of Proof Factor, especially with a very generous free plan. The one area there could be growth would be in the overall design options for notifications. There are really only two options \u2014&nbsp;rounded and squared. While it&#8217;s nice to have CSS to play with, if you&#8217;re uncomfortable editing CSS, you&#8217;ll find the color options easier to work with using other apps mentioned in this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, if you can live with the minimal design options, Proof Factor offers great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proof Factor Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As already stated, Proof Factor offers something much better than a Free Trial \u2014 a generous free plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Budding Entrepreneur plan is free to use and the only limitation in terms of feature set is a maximum of 1,000 visitors per month. They do note that free plans get Live Chat Support, however, the paid plans receive higher levels of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factor Proof Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Budding Entrepreneur free plan comes the Small Business plan which is $29 monthly. This plan increases your monthly visitor count from 1,000 to 10,000 unique visitors. The Small Business plan comes with what Proof Factor calls &#8220;Premium Support&#8221; though I am not sure what that includes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third tier plan is the High Traffic Site and that increase your visitor count all the way to 50,000 per month and includes what they call &#8220;Elite Support&#8221; again, not sure what is included in Elite Support that isn&#8217;t included in Premium Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there are three plans that Proof Factor calls &#8220;Larger Plans&#8221; and those range in price from $179 monthly to $429 monthly. All Larger Plans receive &#8220;Dedicated Support Team&#8221; and include 100,000 to 500,000 visitors monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of Proof Factor pricing is really seen in the Small Business and High Traffic Site plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence | Increase Conversion Rate by 17% Using Social Proof!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x615-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1185 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/615;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-widget-1030x615-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1185\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all the services I&#8217;ve included in this round up, Influence is the newest. In spite of being the newest, it actually has a lot going for it and, in some ways, is ahead of other services which have been around much longer. Influence includes access to all the standard notifications you would expect from a social proof notification service and has several additional features in the works (not live as of this writing) that could catapult it past competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/useinfluence.co\/deals?fp_ref=dave79\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Influence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Notifications Available with Influence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Summer 2019, Influence has three active notification types. When configuring a campaign, they have an additional three notifications in development which look intriguing and, quite honestly, exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bulk Activity<\/strong>: The Influence Bulk Activity notification shows the number of total signups for the campaign over a specified period of hours or days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent Activity<\/strong>: The Influence Recent Activity notification shows the individual conversions for the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live Visitor Count<\/strong>: The Influence Live Visitor Count notification displays the total number of visitors across the website. This notification can also be configured to display the number of live stream viewers on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Review Notifications (Coming Soon)<\/strong>: The Influence Review popup will allow you to show customer reviews through social proof notifications. There is no information on whether this is automatic or if reviews will need to be entered manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Custom Notification (Coming Soon)<\/strong>: The Influence Custom Notification popup is described by Influence as having the ability to &#8220;show custom content&#8221; without any additional details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Push Notifications (Coming Soon)<\/strong>: It is not yet clear how the Influence Push Notification feature will work or what it will do. When I reached out to support, they didn&#8217;t provide any additional info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of Influence Notification Popups <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The notification design styles available from Influence are very simple and largely mimic what we see from other social proof apps. With each notification you have the ability to customize the radius of the corners, allowing you to make them rounded out or squared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-bulk-activity.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1291 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/71;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-bulk-activity.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1291\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-live-count.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1293 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/79;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-live-count.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1293\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-recent-activity-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1294 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/78;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/influence-social-proof-notification-recent-activity-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1294\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Advantage of Influence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot to love about Influence, including the pricing. The biggest advantage I see with Influence is how easy it is to use. Since it&#8217;s a newer company, there are some interface design tweaks that should be made, however, overall it is straightforward and easy to figure out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second advantage is that Influence appears poised to grow beyond simple notifications \u2014 which could be a good thing or bad thing in the long run, depending on how their wide feature set impacts overall development of core features. However, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biggest Drawback of Influence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a reason not to use Influence, the biggest drawback in my mind is that it is very new and there may be a lot of uncertainty around it&#8217;s long-term viability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other concerns that come with a new company is a lack of support documentation. When setting up my first campaign I couldn&#8217;t find explanations for certain features in the knowledge base, leaving me to rely on chat support. Chat support was speedy \u2014 though it appears there may be a language barrier to overcome when chatting with support in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dashboard design tweaks that I&#8217;d like to see, tightening up the UI with better color selections for borders, fields, text, and other UI elements \u2014 but I suspect these will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All plans from Influence are available as a 7-day free trial. Seven days is a bit short, especially if you are wanting to measure conversions to decide if Influence moves the needle for your business \u2014 14 to 21 days would be preferable, however, having a free trial at all is still nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Influence Social Proof Notification Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Influence has four plans shared on their website \u2014 for larger plans than what is listed, you can contact them directly. There are three differences that separate plans: visitor count, removable branding, teammate accounts. Teammate accounts are essentially additional users able to access your account and make changes based upon the permissions you&#8217;ve assigned. After your free trial, you will land in one of the following plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and least expensive plan is called the Startups plan, it comes in at $15 monthly and provides you with 10,000 visitors per month. The second plan, the Growth plan (50,000 visitors), is $39 monthly and both the Startups and the Growth plans do not provide you with Teammate Accounts and you are unable to remove Influence branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third and fourth plans, Advanced $65 monthly and Enterprise at $189 monthly, are identical except for visitor counts. Advanced provides 100,000 visitors per month and the Enterprise provides 500,000 visitors per month. Each of these accounts offer Removable Branding and Teammate Accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Social Proof Notification Services to Consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New services continue to pop up across the web, each one offering unique and distinct benefits, separating themselves from other services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a list of additional services you may want to check out in your quest to find the right social proof notification app for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trustpulse.com\/\">TrustPulse<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flockrocket.io\/\">FlockRocket<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nudgify.com\/\">Nudgify<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/evidence.io\/\">Evidence<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nextsale.io\/\">Nextsale<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a aria-label=\"Notifia (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/notifia.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Notifia<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cavako.com\/\">Cavako<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wisernotify.com\/\">WiserNotify<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.get.benifit.app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Benifit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts On Using Social Proof Marketing Notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because you <em>can<\/em> use social proof notifications on your website does not mean that you should. It really depends on your brand story and the relationship you have with visitors to your website prior to them making any type of a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small e-commerce sites that are largely unknown and potential customers wonder, &#8220;Can I trust this company?&#8221; social proof marketing makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the large software business that is well-established and has a strong relationship with their users prior to any type of financial transaction, it could feel gimmicky and even over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to think through how your target audience will respond to notifications and try to anticipate what impact their response will have on what they believe about your business \u2014 from there, you should be in a good position to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about adding a social proof app to your website, or how to best use the notifications for your brand, <a class=\"mce-item-anchor\" id=\"beacon\" style=\"cursor:pointer;color: #00B28D\">send us a message<\/a> or leave a comment below. In some cases we may be able to provide a quick solution, in other cases we may redirect you to the app&#8217;s support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the entire team at Campaign Donut is here to empower you to create content marketing campaigns that convert and however we can help make that a reality for you, we&#8217;ll stand ready to act!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>

to when you first start sharing your content on social media is the actual length of the URLs you are including. As time goes by, you become more aware of how important presentation (uh hem, branding) is and start taking notice of how ugly your URLs actually are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are not pretty. They are too long. What can I do about this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it is on your radar you start noticing that other users are sharing links but they are coming from bit.ly or buff.ly or rebrand.ly. The tools that create these pretty links are called URL shorteners \u2014 and they do exactly that, shorten the URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And Then You See A Short URL That Is Custom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among all the generic links that come from these URL shorteners, you will notice that some users have unique URL shorteners that appear as if it were made just for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you\u2019d be right \u2014 these are called custom short URLs or a branded short URL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article we will take you through the steps necessary to setup your own custom short URL using a service called <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bitly (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/bitly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bitly<\/a>. We\u2019ll use pictures and specific instructions for every step in the process and when we\u2019re done you will have your very own custom URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Is Using A Custom Short URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Years ago I spotted my first custom short URL.

Once I started looking, they were everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a little bit of research I discovered that anyone, in fact, could have their own branded short URL, including you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the visual appeal, there are a lot of features custom short URLs offer which can enhance your overall marketing efforts \u2014 not just your brand appearance. Dustin Stout has a great breakdown on <a href=\"https:\/\/dustinstout.com\/short-urls\/\">custom short URL benefits<\/a> along with a very in depth tutorial on maximizing Rebrandly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting Your Desired Custom Short URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re choosing a domain for your primary website it is always preferred to find a .com or .net address. When choosing a domain for your custom short URL, it really doesn\u2019t matter what domain extension you use. The only preference is to find one that\u2019s short. An extension with 2-3 letters is preferable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit a domain registrar (in this example we\u2019re using GoDaddy) and start searching for the domain you want to use.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image-border\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/custom-short-url-domain-registration.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/custom-short-url-domain-registration-1030x275-1.jpg\" alt=\"Godaddy screenshot \u2014 Start your domain name search, campy.pro\" class=\"wp-image-883\" width=\"653\" height=\"174\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use your preferred domain registrar to buy the domain you will use for your custom short URL.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you scroll through all the options and recommendations, you are looking for a domain similar to your brand but shorter.

Currently, the free plan allows you only 50 custom domain URLs and 1,000 shortened URLs total. If you\u2019d like more URLs, you can upgrade to one of Bitly\u2019s paid plans, starting at $29 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another service we recommended above, Rebrandly, provides a much more generous free plan with 500 custom domain URLs and up to 5,000 trackable shortened URLs. Unfortunately, Rebrandly doesn\u2019t integrate with some of the services we use \u2014 hopefully you\u2019ll have more luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Should Use A Branded URL vs Standard URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a limited number of branded URLs available, you may be wondering if you should still use a bit.ly domain. Here are two suggested use cases where you may consider the bit.ly domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You use your account to create a short URL for a friend, family, or a customer and do not want it to carry your branding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want to shorten and track a URL that is not associated with your business brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, it is the best practice to use your branded URL for your business. It looks professional, it is consistent with your overall brand, and it will be an eye-catching URL when shared outside of people in your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No longer will you be the one noticing the fancy short URLs all the \u2018big guys\u2019 are using. As small is a custom short URL may seem, it will have a big impact on how people view your brand on social media, especially if it is just one part of a strong brand you are working hard to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts On Creating Your Own Branded URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any question about using Bitly to host your custom short URLs, choosing at domain to use for shortening URLs, or applications for your short URL, <a id=\"beacon\" style=\"cursor:pointer;color: #00B28D\" class=\"mce-item-anchor\">send us a message<\/a> or leave a comment below.

Wanting to find inspiration to create your own custom thumbnail designs? You&#8217;re in the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating custom thumbnails is not only a great way to elevate your brand as a whole, but it&#8217;s also a way to influence viewers to choose your video out of all the options available. No, a custom thumbnail will not make your content better than it is so it&#8217;s important to focus on creating quality content \u2014 but the thumbnail will help your AWESOME content get noticed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In truth, we started down this trail when creating our own video thumbnails for Campaign Donut. We wanted to provide our design team with examples of what engaging YouTube thumbnails looked like. In the end, our first design turned out a bit different thank much of what we saw and that was entirely because of the type of content we were serving up in our initial videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see our final thumbnail design at the end of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Great Thumbnails for YouTube Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, you want your thumbnails to be branded and engaging. There are a few common traits we identified in the YouTube thumbnails below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Brand Colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large Text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obvious Primary Object or Subject<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimal Words<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic Images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custom Backgrounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these traits above, it was also clear that creating cutouts, or masked images, of the primary subject was very a popular design choice for those who have the time, money, <a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/unlimited-graphic-design-services-a-roundup\/\">staff<\/a>, or skill necessary to pull it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes YouTube Thumbnails Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing images for YouTube is much different than designing for a social network or create <a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/best-webinar-graphics-ads\/\">webinar promotional images<\/a>. Why? Because your brand will be sharing real estate with dozens of other brands.

Some of the examples, such as the ahrefs designs, are more advanced than others and you may want to enlist the help of a designer if you are to pull off those designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else to consider is the scaleability of your designs. In other words, will you pursue a design that is more templated that requires you just changing out background, text, and colors or will you pursue a design that will require a professional illustrator to create new designs? The NBA designs are a good example of templated designs that are easy to reproduce. Anyone with basic design skills can easily create new templates with updated content. The thumbnails from Justin Brown will require completely new designs and updated masked images to keep up with over the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Campaign Donut we have a full time design team that can produce anything we need. However, we didn&#8217;t always have that luxury. Prior to our team, we enlisted <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"unlimited graphic design services (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/unlimited-graphic-design-services-a-roundup\/\" target=\"_blank\">unlimited graphic design services<\/a> that helped us handle new design mock ups and overall production.

Choosing the right service to partner with will provide great value to any company not ready to commit to a full-time designer\u2014but is ready to stop fiddling with free graphic design tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the longest time graphic design was a premium service but with the arrival of do-it-yourself graphic tools, design and illustration has become a commodity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Just because you <em>can<\/em> create your own business graphics doesn\u2019t mean you <em>should<\/em>. If you\u2019re not an experienced graphic designer you could actually do more harm to your brand than good when you try to be a business owner and graphic designer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlimited graphic design is a double-edged sword. On one side, you can spend a few hundred dollars each month to get unlimited graphics sent to you within 24-48 hours (in most cases). On the other side, this small step up in design may be a giant step up for your company, however, it doesn&#8217;t mean that the design will do any better promoting and marketing your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post you will discover exactly what you need to know about unlimited graphic design services, how to ensure you get the most for your money, and go through a roundup of options, evaluating the pros and cons of each service (as represented by the features and pricing on their website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-ff777000-14ed-46ae-9379-8fff1d762a21\">What You Need to Know About Unlimited Graphic Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Does unlimited really mean unlimited? Yes and no. When a company offers unlimited design, what they are really offering is unlimited design at a rate of one design at a time. This means that if you request 10 project designs at one time, any work done on the second design will only begin after work is completed and approved for the first design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can request 200 designs in one month, but depending on the speed of the service, the complexity of the project, and number of revisions needed, you may only expect to receive 10-30 designs in one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This limit on unlimited design provides a method for different companies to differentiate themselves from competitors as well as differentiate their own pricing tiers. For those services that offer multiple pricing options, you can expect to receive multiple tasks at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the service is technically unlimited, the production you can expect will not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Unlimited Graphic Design Services: The Truth and What You Need to Know\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FQ7TYVTV9wg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-60de2533-f81e-4de5-a830-c8c3637a1324\">The Difference Between Graphic Design vs Graphic Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This flood of unlimited graphic design services launching since 2015 has underscored the need to know the difference between graphic design and graphic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what <em>is<\/em> the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic design is the art of <strong>strategically<\/strong> combining color, shape, depth, texture, text, and photo into a visual representation of what you want to say to the world. The key word in the previous statement is <strong>strategically<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, anyone can use free graphic design tools or inexpensive illustration programs to produce graphics of all types. This is where we get to graphic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic production is the process of arbitrarily combining design elements to produce a graphic that fulfills a request. Instead of designing with the end goal of effective communication, graphic production is designing with the end goal of producing a graphic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/unlimited-graphic-design-graphic-production-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic design is the art of strategically combining color, shape, depth, texture, text, and photo into a visual that communicates a message.

Graphic production is the process of arbitrarily combining design elements to produce a graphic that fulfills a request.\" class=\"wp-image-534\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing an unlimited graphic service it is important that you understand there is a good likelihood you are going to be receiving a graphic production service &#8211; not <em>true <\/em>graphic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Campaign Donut, we\u2019ve noticed that the quality of the final design depends <em>less<\/em> on the company you choose to go with and <em>more<\/em> upon the designer you are paired with. In addition, you can expect a higher quality final design if you provide a higher quality design request to your designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your designer understands design tools, pays attention to detail, and you can provide them with a clear set of instructions you can expect a greater level of satisfaction in the end results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-0822f545-9852-48c9-9a2e-739af38080b9\">Unlimited Design Service Turnaround Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being paired up with a skilled designer is imperative for success when using any unlimited graphic production service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second most important element to success is turnaround time for your requests. The faster you can expect your design request to be fulfilled, the faster you can provide feedback. The faster you can provide feedback the faster you can expect to receive your finished design. Obviously, a faster turnaround means more designs per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you evaluate different services you\u2019ll discover that it is pretty standard to see a promised turnaround time of 24 hours to three days. Don\u2019t be surprised to find some services list their turnaround time as long as five days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as a 24 hour turnaround time sounds great, our experience shows that you really shouldn\u2019t expect consistent 24 hour turnaround unless the following criteria is met:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The request is for a simple, single image (social media, article featured image)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have provided clear instructions for the designer to follow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The design service queue is not backed up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your request is not coming just before the weekend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of unlimited graphic design services your best approach should be to consider a 24 hour turnaround for a perfect design to be the exception &#8211; not the norm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Even though unlimited graphic services will advertise 24-hour turnaround, you rarely will get a finished and ready-to-use graphic in 24 hours. Be prepared to wait 48-72 hours for a final product that you can use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-7235c060-709c-4517-a7c6-fd089efb36c1\">Evaluating A Graphic Design Service Portfolio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve given any thought to paying for unlimited graphic design, you\u2019ve probably gone straight to look at each individual service\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reviewing the portfolio of each unlimited graphic design service you are considering is very important. The portfolio gives you an idea of what you can expect in your designs. There are several things you want to pay attention to in the portfolio examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-242b7d72-73dc-4030-ac4e-2a5e75175524\">Are the Designs Original Or Do They Have A Stock Feel?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the rise of unlimited graphic design services was the rise of graphic templates. A large collection of graphic template sites popped up, providing you with a Photoshop file for a logo, flyer, quote graphic, handout, presentation graphic, and many other popular graphic elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/stock-graphic-design-templates.jpeg\" alt=\"Six graphic design stock templates of people illustrations.\" class=\"wp-image-587 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/912;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/stock-graphic-design-templates.jpeg\" alt=\"Six graphic design stock templates of people illustrations.\" class=\"wp-image-587\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Many graphic design services utilize stock imagery and designs. This is okay, just make sure that your end design matches your style, not a template or stock style.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team has actually purchased and used many of these templates over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In exploring the portfolios of each service, it has been a common occurance to notice popular templates from these graphic template stores appear in the portfolios of individual unlimited graphic design services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing \u2014 templates are actually quite helpful, especially when you don\u2019t want to (or need to) create a specific element from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing you want to pay attention to when exploring these service portfolios, is do the individual graphics feel like they are unique and original to the companies they are representing or do they feel like that have a generic sheen over the top?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is OKAY for any designer to use graphic templates. Product mockups alone could take hours, if not days, to build from scratch. Just make sure you\u2019re comfortable with the various styling of the service before you buy in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-8d325340-e8bc-4d14-ac8b-d253bd1ca536\">Do the Colors In the Design Compliment Each Other?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Color matching is pretty easy for graphic designers because when they are working with businesses that have a set of colors assigned to their brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you look through service portfolios, If you notice odd color combinations or color combinations that are weird that is a very good sign that an individual service it may not be the service for you. These are examples of \u2018their best work\u2019 and if they can\u2019t get color schemes right, it\u2019s further evidence that you\u2019re not getting design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphic-design-color-palette.jpeg\" alt=\"Six-option color palette for Campaign Donut.\" class=\"wp-image-589 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/390;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphic-design-color-palette.jpeg\" alt=\"Six-option color palette for Campaign Donut.\" class=\"wp-image-589\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is the first color palette we used at Campaign Donut.

Should you go forward with an unlimited design service, be sure to specify for proper spacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphic-design-spacing-issues-1030x541-1.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic with poor use of spacing and no breathing room around the sides of the design\u2014feels crammed.\" class=\"wp-image-590 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/541;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphic-design-spacing-issues-1030x541-1.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic with poor use of spacing and no breathing room around the sides of the design\u2014feels crammed.\" class=\"wp-image-590\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the most important aspects of design is spacing. Professional designers will automatically build this spacing into their designs, whereas someone who is trying to produce a graphic will often forget to leave breathing room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-13b513d7-19c4-491b-a83c-06a2cf215543\">Using A Graphic Design Request Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because most of the unlimited graphic design services are actually more about graphic production, the way you organize and word your graphic request matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a good chance that the person fielding your request will not be located in the United States and, furthermore, they will natively speak your language. There will be lots of room for miscommunication and misinterpretation and having clear communications written down will go a long way to helping you get the most out of your designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is already a large communication gap between those requesting graphic design and those producing the design. It\u2019s the same type of communication gap that exists between doctors and patients or investment advisors and clients. Professionals in their field will have a series of questions combined with exercises to help learn about your desired end result. Professional graphic designers are very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>At Campaign Donut, when we were going through the process of designing our brand and logo, the illustrator we worked with helped our team articulate what we wanted through questions, surveys, and providing examples. These steps helped us communicate to the illustrator in illustration terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is never a bad idea to have a standardized way of requesting design work, whether from an inhouse employee. It is definitely a necessity when working with a designer assigned to you through an unlimited graphic design service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a graphic design request checklist is a very easy way to ensure you cover all your basis in your request and minimize the potential of being frustrated or disappointed with initial returns on your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-fc11ff08-a1bc-4b90-a9e8-394339985728\">How to Create A Graphic Design Request Checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating your form doesn\u2019t need to be complicated. It also does not need to be a one and done proposition. After you begin to use your form, you can add new elements as you discover need. For instance, if you want to edit the graphic later but the designer used fonts that are not free to download, you may want to add a point in your request checklist to \u201cUse only free and publicly available fonts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team employs full-time graphic designers, however, we continue to use unlimited design services for smaller items below is a list of what we have included in our request checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What Are We Creating (Facebook post, brochure, logo, infographic etc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project Title<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Description of Work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design Dimensions (What is the size of this design?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What software should be used?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliverables (What file type is the final design? JPG, PNG, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brand Colors (What colors should be used?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to providing the details above, you\u2019ll also want to provide visual examples for the designer to follow and gain a clearer picture of what you believe a finished product should look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Campaign Donut, we provide visual style examples and example files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visual Style Examples<\/strong> \u2014 Examples of your brand\u2019s visual style applied to various graphics. Share visuals that contain your brand colors, logo, and design elements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Example Files<\/strong> \u2014 Examples for the designer to better understand your project request. These examples can be from other brands as long as they provide a clear direction for what you want in your final design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Diligently providing these details (and any others that may pertain to your specific project or unique brand) will increase the chances you get exactly what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-07567db3-d598-4d79-9631-b7fbe6bbdc19\">A Round Up of Unlimited Graphic Design Companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are dozens of new unlimited graphic design companies launching every month and going through each option can take quite a bit of time.

There was one scenario where we waited 7 days for a revision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After voicing our concerns multiple times with our assigned team leader, the times did not improve and the output quality decreased. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, as far as unlimited design services go, Penji was a better option than two of the other services we tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On their homepage they tout themselves as the \u201c#1 Rated unlimited graphic design service\u201d and display the logos of brands like Reebok, PepBoys, Famous Footwear, Cost Plus World Market, and Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"sign up for Penji using our affiliate link here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/penji.co\/pricing\/?affiliate=LM1HWZ749214855\" target=\"_blank\">sign up for Penji using our affiliate link here<\/a> \u2014 if you use the promo code &#8216;LM1HWZ749214855&#8217; you will get 25% off your first month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-f98ffead-4859-4622-9f78-9298b5421a73\">Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no free trial with Penji, however, there is a 15-day money back guarantee. So you\u2019ll need to pay for a month of service to try Penji, however, you can request a refund if it isn\u2019t up to your standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-c91a708b-d1ca-446a-b0b8-7fa7d5c73bd6\">Penji Plan Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Penji offers two plans as well as a \u201cCustom\u201d option that is <em>coming soon<\/em> (though this has been the case for 6+ months at the time of this writing). The only difference in the plans is the number of design profiles and allowed active projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one active project and one brand profile the monthly cost is $349 per month. For two active projects and unlimited brand profiles (think agency use) the cost is $648.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each plan includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li> Unlimited design requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Unlimited revisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Unlimited stock photography<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Web &amp; app design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Dedicated designer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> 15 days money back guarantee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> No contracts, cancel anytime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We actually loved the design profile feature Penji offers. After signing up for your account you\u2019re prompted to create a profile where you provide brand styling information for the Penji staff and includes the following fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Company Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Profile Description (Company Description)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Industry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo files \u2014 <em>Upload all the versions and variations of your logos.

It\u2019s very easy to use and very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They describe their process for individual users as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Create design project <\/strong>\u2014 Tell your designer exactly what you want to design. A designer will automatically be assigned and get started on your project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feedback &amp; revisions<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019ll get your 1st draft within 48 hours for most projects. Not quite there yet? Leave revision notes using our Point and Click feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Approve and get files<\/strong> \u2014 Once you\u2019re satisfied with one (or several) design submissions, click \u201cAPPROVE\u201d and download your files immediately. Yep, that\u2019s right\u2014immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is handled within their interface and it\u2019s very easy to navigate and get things done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the \u201cApprove and get files\u201d right away, you can expect to download the non-source files right away. There are instances where you\u2019ll be going back and forth on a design and the only files uploaded are single layer images. Once approved, you can use that file, however, we usually had to wait several hours to a full day to get source files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-70c2e9ea-597d-4847-a25a-427b81590eba\">Penji Portfolio and Example Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While some unlimited graphic design service portfolios are limited with examples, Penji does a great job showing off their work. Penji was the first service we tried and we decided to pull the trigger based upon the quantity and quality of work displayed on their website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/penji-unlimited-graphic-design-portfolio.jpg\" alt=\"Website Screenshot of portfolio examples\u2014website design, logos, flyers, app interface.\" class=\"wp-image-595 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/458;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/penji-unlimited-graphic-design-portfolio.jpg\" alt=\"Website Screenshot of portfolio examples\u2014website design, logos, flyers, app interface.\" class=\"wp-image-595\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Penji provides a thorough and comprehensive portfolio for browsing.

I signed Campaign Donut up for Graphics Zoo to see how it compared with other unlimited graphic design experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First impressions with Graphics Zoo are positive. Their website is modern, informative, and well designed. The portfolio page is well stocked and well organized with attractive designs that are, for the most part, quality. The signup page and pricing options are clear and easy to understand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After signing up the first request was submitted. The request was for &nbsp;4-6 templates we could use for social media. Three days later we received our design back and it was pretty underwhelming (especially given that it was 3 business days to receive the designs back).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-client-portal-screenshot.png\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Client portal with interactive comment board.\" class=\"wp-image-598 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 828px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 828\/494;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-client-portal-screenshot.png\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Client portal with interactive comment board.\" class=\"wp-image-598\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graphics Zoo allows you to make comments directly on your design, giving pinpoint accuracy to your comments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The designer had, essentially, selected a photo and placed plain text on top of it. Very little design effort, especially considering we had uploaded examples of what we had hoped for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, Graphics Zoo still shows signs of being a quality unlimited graphics design service and is worth a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-add84274-fa02-4346-9e5d-a31aec5f5a93\">Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic Zoo does not offer a free trial, however like many other services, they offer a 14-day risk-free trial. When you sign up for an account, you have 14 days to decide whether or not you\u2019d like to stay. When we went through the process of requesting a refund, they were very gracious and didn\u2019t give us a hard time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-03261e82-2c0a-4295-973b-8eb29521cdf9\">Graphics Zoo Plan Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three published plans at Graphics Zoo: Starter Plan, Business Plan, Agency Plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Starter Plan is a unique spin that is different than other services. Rather than unlimited graphic design, for $99 a month you receive 3 requests for that month and a turnaround time of 2 days. You can have 1 active request at a time, meaning, when request 1 is finished, request 2 will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Business Plan and Agency Plan are virtually identical. The only differences are with a business plan you get 2 active requests at a time while Agency Plan gives you 4 and the Agency Plan offers \u201cWhite label\u201d which allows you to use their platform to handle requests from your clients to their team. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features offered in both in Business Plan and Agency Plan include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Share and Collaborate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Revisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality Designers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated Support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Free Stock Images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User Management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email Requests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Graphicz Zoo features page on their website goes into greater detail what each of these features actually means for the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-4620900c-af70-4467-8fae-c803010f0e85\">Types of Unlimited Designs Offered at Graphics Zoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphics Zoo offers what you would expect after exploring multiple unlimited graphic design services. Published on their website, you can request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Social Media Posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Web &amp; Mobile UI \/ UX<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flyers &amp; Brochures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product Packaging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print Collateral<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo &amp; Branding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T-Shirt Designs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking through their portfolio, they also featured custom icons &amp; illustrations. There are no notable missing design types. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-23a7ccde-ab8b-4277-86eb-4bdc4d644ea9\">How Projects Are Handled at Graphics Zoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphics Zoo offers two ways of handling requests: using a request portal that you sign into and also allowing you to email your requests in. For each request they use what they call their \u201cProject Flow Technology\u201d which is essentially a card system that features all your requests with a badge indicating the current status of that request.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image-border\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-unlimited-graphics-client-portal.png\" alt=\" Website Screenshot \u2014 task portal card view.\" class=\"wp-image-599 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 696px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 696\/263;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-unlimited-graphics-client-portal.png\" alt=\" Website Screenshot \u2014 task portal card view.\" class=\"wp-image-599\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graphics Zoo has a very aesthetically pleasing project management portal that helps you see everything going on with your design including latest activity.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>At the time we signed up for Graphics Zoo, they used a chat interface to manage comments. It was designed like a real-time chat box, which compelled me to want to type like I\u2019m chatting, but there was minimal activity. The chat feature didn\u2019t feel very effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, having a go-to portal makes it easy to see where your projects are at and what to expect next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emailing requests is exactly what it sounds like: sending an email. Here is what they have to say on their website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Submit your requests via email and they will automatically get added to your dashboard. All you have to do is send an email to newrequest@graphicszoo.com with the details of your project and let us handle it from there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters most is if your designs will be delivered on time\u2026 as mentioned above, we waited from the 14th to the 17th for our first design.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-c53fc178-e667-4623-aa21-cdb0210b1cc7\">Portfolio and Example Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Graphics Zoo portfolio is extensive and the designs appear to be of nice design quality. The portfolio is a very big reason why we gave it a try. The designs we received back were vastly different in terms of design than what they show on their portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, they clearly have capable designers based upon what they show on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-design-portfolio.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Portfolio examples, social media image, t-shirt design, flyers, web advertisement, log design.\" class=\"wp-image-600 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/758;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/graphics-zoo-design-portfolio.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Portfolio examples, social media image, t-shirt design, flyers, web advertisement, log design.\" class=\"wp-image-600\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graphics Zoo provides a variety of portfolio pieces to help you make your decision on whether or not their style will be a fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-9e10f061-e5e8-4097-961a-41f5e8c6548e\">Reviews from Happy Graphics Zoo Customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI&#8217;ve been using Graphic Zoo for Marketing materials over the last 8 years with different companies for various projects.

On their website they describe this as the following: <em>All plans come with a 14-Day No Risk Guarantee. Love the service, find it a huge value for you and your business or you can get a 100% full refund for your initial membership fee.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-41ed0eed-b5f1-4535-8c08-58f1e1d3e765\">Design Pickle Plan Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two plans offered by Design Pickle, their Standard Plan and their Pro Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both plans include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>14-Day No-Risk Money Back Guarantee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Dedicated Professional Designer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Requests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Stock Photos (via Unsplash)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Contract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated Support When You Need<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zapier Integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live Chat &amp; Training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro Plan includes quite a few more enticing features that we haven\u2019t seen available in other services.

One of the major issues with unlimited graphic design services is the revision process because it takes nearly 24-hours for each revision. With real-time collaboration, you can communicate exactly what you think to your designer as they\u2019re making changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increased Turnaround Times &amp; Design Output definitely gives business owners who rely heavily on graphics something to think about and it may be worth starting with the Standard Plan to discover if Design Pickle will give you the quality you\u2019re looking for and then moving to the Pro Plan as you decide to make the full commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That Slack communication feature is very intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-b554a264-2e48-486c-bf4a-a049351ee772\">Types of Unlimited Designs Offered at Design Pickle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience of Design Pickle really shows in all of their material. As I was gathering information for this section of the article I found a support document created by Design Pickle Founder, Russ Perry, that outlines everything you can request with Design Picke. I was linked to this support article from the pricing page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the pricing page you\u2019ll find the following FAQ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: Can I design _______?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: If you have a graphic design need, first ask yourself: Can I reasonably explain or show what I want? If the answer is yes \u2013 fantastic! Our scope of service is broad but firmly anchored in graphic design (for now). If you need motion graphics, copywriting or a latte, we, unfortunately, will come up short. &nbsp;Click here to review our full scope of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the list of services provided by Design Pickle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Display ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print or digital brochures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T-shirt graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trade show marketing materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facebook ad graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instagram graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google display ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social media quotes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promotional items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoor graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stickers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales sheets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event flyers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email header graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blog header graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cHero\u201d images for your website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic photo edits &amp; manipulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knocking out backgrounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ecommerce graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentation graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revising webpage mockup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple infographics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And many, many more types of requests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are more items you can create with a PRO plan: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>2-3 second GIF animations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light website or landing page design (we do not code, just provide the design files)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original branding and logos with a clear concept or direction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More advanced illustrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More advanced infographics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The article summarizes the list by saying, \u201cRemember: if you can explain your request, and it\u2019s not on the list below, we\u2019ll do our best to execute it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Pickle also does a good job specifying what they do not do.

You can choose from a live demo or a recorded demo. We watched the recorded demo which was presented by the founder and goes through everything you\u2019d want to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from this demo, there was no readily available information sharing how the service works. The video, though great, goes through a lot more than just \u201cHow does it work?\u201d Fortunately, the video includes time stamps to tell you where to scroll in the video in order to watch what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/design-pickle-demo-video.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot \u2014 Design Pickle demo video with Founder Russ Perry.\" class=\"wp-image-602 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/562;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/design-pickle-demo-video.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot \u2014 Design Pickle demo video with Founder Russ Perry.\" class=\"wp-image-602\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The founder of Design Pickle, Russ Perry, provides a very detailed demo video of what unlimited graphic design is and how Design Pickle works.

As the primary decision maker for this choice, I was a bit surprised that the industry leader had so few examples of their work and the examples that were there were underwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of this writing, Design Pickle has updated their portfolio to provide an almost overwhelming amount of design examples. Not only are there a greater number of portfolio examples, the designs as a whole are higher quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How they feature their work is very impressive and when we are in the market again for an unlimited graphic design service, we will definitely put Design Pickle at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/design-pickle-portfolio-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Real Work from Real Clients, Design Pickle Portfolio.\" class=\"wp-image-603 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/695;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/design-pickle-portfolio-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\" Website Screenshot\u2014Real Work from Real Clients, Design Pickle Portfolio.\" class=\"wp-image-603\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Design Pickle website portfolio is exhaustive and provides a very good idea of what their designers are capable of.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-b6e75634-1ada-45c6-b62f-f1789137a5c6\">Design Seed Co.

Our choice was influenced by two factors: the value for the price we pay and the quality of designs in their portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire web experience of Design Seed Co. is fairly underwhelming. However, at the time we were making our decision to switch from Penji to a different service most of the websites and portfolios resembled one another and none really stood out among the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-856d0ddb-62e0-4a59-a1dd-9f0d6fc7436e\">Free Trial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Seed Co. is different than any of the other services profiled in this article as they do not offer a free trial nor do they offer any sort of satisfaction guarantee. This may be a bit off putting for some users who are concerned about spending money, however, the low end design option is very affordable and may provide you with a workable solution in place of a guarantee or free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may also be worth reaching out to Design Seed Co. to inquire about any unlisted options to see if they can work with you in order to help you decide if their service is a right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-fc5b5ab3-e6d8-426a-8a89-f10fb815e694\">Design Seed Co. Plan Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three plans offered through Design Seed Co. The Business and Enterprise plans contain the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Unlimited Total number of Task<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited Revisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Source file**<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to 1~3 business days Turnaround<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resell Designs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Contract\/ Cancel anytime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total number of BrandsUnlimited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales Web Landing Page Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic Website Design (Up to 5 pages)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>App Interface Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logo Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic Brand Guideline<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Package or Label Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marketing Material Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T-Shirts Graphics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General Graphics Designs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social Media Graphics (Up to 5 post graphics at a request)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference between the Business and Enterprise plans is the number of tasks serviced at one time. Business is 2 simultaneous tasks and Enterprise offers 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entry level plan offers 1 task at a time along with all the features above with a few exceptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>No License to Resell Designs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Basic Website Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No App Interface Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Logo Design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Basic Brand Guideline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using the service explicitly for your own business (not as an agency) and do not need multiple designs at once or complex design, the entry level plan, Design Seed Co., may be a great fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-5e6df004-f793-428e-9457-6ed3647ab4c0\">Types of Unlimited Designs Offered at Design Seed Co.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design Seed Co. provides nearly all of the types of design that you\u2019d expect.

You\u2019ll receive notifications when you successfully create a project, when a designer has been assigned to your project, when a designer has begun work on your project, when a new comment has been made, and when a new file has been uploaded by Design Seed Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emails do a good job of eliminating the need to continually check the website to see where your project is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"advgb-toc-95a3597e-7c44-482a-b6a0-af45d922d230\">Portfolio and Example Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What compelled us to try Design Seed Co. was the combination of value pricing plus the strength of the portfolio.

available to website owners today. This free tool provided by Google allows site owners to connect their website content DIRECTLY to Google&#8217;s search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does Google Search Console help you supply Google with the best information regarding your website, it also provides insights into how your site is performing in Google searches. These insights are coming DIRECTLY from Google and are very easy to understand and provide a great foundation for making decisions for your SEO and SEM strategies moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two reasons why Google Search Console is so underused. The first reason is that many website owners simply do not know about it. The second reason is that it may be confusing for someone unfamiliar with website tools like Search Console to actually submit their site and successfully verify ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, you will be guided step-by-step how to create a Google Search Console account, successfully verify ownership of your domain, and submit your website&#8217;s sitemap directly to Google to ensure your website is correctly indexed and it&#8217;s pages are available for Google to display in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Login to Google Search Console<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Google Webmasters (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\" target=\"_blank\">Google Webmasters<\/a> website and click the green &#8220;Search Console&#8221; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/google-webmaster-tools-search-console-button.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/google-webmaster-tools-search-console-button-1030x588-1.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Google Search Console Home Page with green Search Console button circled\" class=\"wp-image-490 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/588;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/google-webmaster-tools-search-console-button-1030x588-1.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Google Search Console Home Page with green Search Console button circled\" class=\"wp-image-490\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools) is free and available to anyone.

To start, select property type.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for your website to benefit from the tools in Google Search Console you need to verify that you own the domain. If you have access to your domain DNS settings, in almost all circumstances you will want to use the &#8220;Domain&#8221; option which will register all your property variations at one time. If you do not have access to edit your domain DNS settings, you can prove site ownership using the URL Prefix option which provides several methods for authenticating ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the &#8220;Domain&#8221; option and type in your website URL &#8220;campaigndonut.com&#8221; and click continue. Your next step will be to take the text provided by Google Search Console and add create a new DNS record in your settings \u2014 a TXT file that places the record into the value field. Once you add the record, you&#8217;ll save your results and return to the &#8220;Verify domain ownership&#8221; screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/verify-domain-google-search-console-dns-settings-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/verify-domain-google-search-console-dns-settings-1-1030x689-1.jpg\" alt=\"Google Search Console domain ownership verification modal.\" class=\"wp-image-493 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/689;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/verify-domain-google-search-console-dns-settings-1-1030x689-1.jpg\" alt=\"Google Search Console domain ownership verification modal.\" class=\"wp-image-493\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In order to use Google Search Console with your website, you will need to authenticate ownership using one of Google&#8217;s verification methods.

Some of these errors not only mean certain pages on your site cannot be indexed, but can actually adversely impact your site&#8217;s overall ranking. In some instances you may see items being reported as errors in Google Search Console when in reality it is not an error. For instance, if you have certain directories on your website which you wish to block from index and prevent from showing up in searches, these can show as errors.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very important to resolve errors and in the cases where non-errors are being reported (i.e., blocked files) it is important to be aware of which are actual errors and which are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/google-search-console-error-reporting.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/google-search-console-error-reporting-1030x662-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-498 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/662;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/google-search-console-error-reporting-1030x662-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-498\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Errors in Google Search Console provide insight into what may be negatively impacting your website search performance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any question about adding your website to Google Search Console, submitting your sitemap to Google for indexing, or troubleshooting errors, <a>send us a message<\/a> or leave a comment below.

for their website\u2014after the favicon: the copyright year added to the WordPress footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem: I couldn&#8217;t find a solution that didn&#8217;t involve some form of JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been so many years that I cannot remember when or where I found this solution but it has been the same solution I&#8217;ve used to dynamically update WordPress website footers with the current year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s simple. It involves updating your functions.php page one time and can be applied via shortcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sure there are plenty of better ways to do this that involve more complex coding\u2014I just don&#8217;t know how to apply them and if you&#8217;re like me, you don&#8217;t want to take the time to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full image-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wordpress-footer-copyright-year.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wordpress-footer-copyright-year.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2375 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 912px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 912\/572;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wordpress-footer-copyright-year.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2375\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A dynamically updating copyright year means that it will automatically update to the next calendar year when January 1 arrives, preventing an outdated copyright year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So without further delay, here is a very short tutorial showing you how to add a dynamic copyright year to WordPress footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Prior to making any changes to your WordPress theme files or WordPress core files you should backup your files and database. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update Your WordPress Functions.php File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is strongly recommended that you use a child theme when applying the following code. Using a child theme ensures that when your theme developer pushes an update to the theme, the changes you make today will not be overwritten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2014 Access the Editor Window<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Login to your WordPress website and navigate to &#8220;Appearance&gt;Theme Editor&#8221; (or it may say only &#8220;Editor&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the  list of theme files in the right column, click the &#8220;functions.php&#8221; file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large image-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wordpress-functions-file-copyright-footer-1024x444-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2372 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/444;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campaigndonut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/wordpress-functions-file-copyright-footer-1024x444-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2372\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WordPress built it editor allows you to modify theme files directly.

Unfortunately, this step could vary based upon what theme you&#8217;re using. Most premium themes make it easy to update the content in your footer, or in some cases it is called the socket, but if there is not a clear location, you will want to contact the theme developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this example, I am using the Enfold Theme by Kriesi available on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Themeforest (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/themeforest.net\/item\/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme\/4519990\" target=\"_blank\">Themeforest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-locate-your-theme-footer-settings\">Step 1 \u2014 Locate Your Theme Footer Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Often your footer settings will be located in a theme specific menu section.
