With Keywords helping companies determine what they are known for; we have developed a
tool to help collate all your keywords in one place.
Throughout the platform we allow you to add keywords to Personas, Content, Blogs,
Campaigns and Google Ads etc, with this tool, it will collate all your keywords together and
how many times they were used throughout your marketing efforts.
From here you will be able to use our “Get Keywords Ideas”, which is a Google Ads search
tool, providing you with suggested keywords based on your website URLs or product /
services, as well as the monthly search traffic competing for that keyword.
Alternatively, you can manually insert or import your keywords to help you get started.
Review and manage your keywords throughout your marketing activities and see which are
being used most. It can also help you identify the keywords that are maybe not being used
as much so you can then make the decision to either remove from your list or create a plan
to develop this keyword more.
With the ability to quick export all your keywords and their usage – you will have anything
you need to successfully manage all your keywords across all your marketing touchpoints.
When creating your Personas, Blogs and planning your Content – as soon as you start
typing your keyword, it will provide you with the list of keywords that have already added to
the platform for you to select from.
2. Content Hub > Create Content New Flow
As our Content Library is the central hub for all your content, we wanted to make the process
easier when uploading your content to the platform. We have separated the upload into a
two-step process:

also have our Canva integration here to help you create high quality images for your
content library preview, alternatively you can choose a file from your image library.

This allows you to assign your content to your personas, buyer journey stage,
clusters as well assigning it as a content type and folder.

process and added some more functionality to make your collaborating as a team even
easier.

separated by cluster. You can now use our updated filters to sort specifically for cluster,
type, date, status and owner.

a piece of content. From here each team member can add their comments on the content
and make any adjustments if needed.

to get more out of this tool.

blogs to a Persona, Cluster and a Buyer Funnel stage.

throughout your blog and to help with SEO> These can be populated in a few different ways:

1. Journeys > Addition of Journey Planner View
We have created a separate area to manage and review your journeys that are not
published yet. This is known as the “Planner” - Below shows a summary of the functionality
the planner tool contains as a reminder:
Feature | Table View
We have created a combined planner view to make it easier to review and manage your
journeys without having to navigate across different tabs. With this new structure – you get a
quick snapshot of all the journeys that are planned, what it looks like, who is the owner, what
status it has and if any comments have been made against it.
Feature | Comments Functionality
The comments feature is useful if there are multiple users contributing to your journeys. It
gives the opportunity for users to offer feedback and comments to help improve or offer
changes that need to be updated for your journeys.
The comments icon will show a count of how many comments have been left against a
journey. By selecting on the icon, it will allow you to review the comments or leave your own.
Feature | Quick Actions
From here you can quickly jump into the Journey Builder and make any necessary changes.
You will also be able to Duplicate the Journey, Archive or Delete.
Feature | Quick Actions
With some clients generating journeys / campaigns on the platform that requires additional
confirmation from other users not using the platform – we have created an export
functionality which will export all the journeys details needed to get your journey approved,
this can then be emailed directly to the relevant person for approval.
Feature | Notification Reminders
We have implemented a notification system – where notifications can be generated and sent
to the user if they have been assigned to a journey that is awaiting approval, requires edits,
or that the post is overdue. These allow you to keep the users involved in this process
informed when a task has been assigned to them, allowing you to operate a quick and easy
creation process.
The notification reminder is generated based on the change of a status. For example, if I
change my journey from “Draft” to “Approval Needed” – it will produce a pop up asking if you
would like to send a notification to be sent to the assigned owner.
This will send an email notification to the user advising that there is a journey awaiting their
approval. It will also attach a csv copy of the journey they have been assigned too.
// Note that the new campaign planner page also contains the same functionality.
2. Journeys > Updated Journey Published View
This section covers your “Published” view of journeys – this allows you to get a summary of
all your active journeys and how they are performing. We also offer two different views,
depending on which works best for you – List View vs Tab view.
From here you can switch on the filter options – it will default to the last 30 days and those
that are currently active – but this can be changed at any time to view older and stopped
journeys.
The functionality will remain the same, so from here you can edit your journey, view more
detailed results, delete / archive or duplicate your journey.
// Note that the new campaign published page also contains the same functionality.
3. Journeys > New Campaign & Email Action
We are excited two announce updates to some of our Journey Actions:
- Campaign & Email
- Email Only
These features are being introduced to help streamline the process of integrating your
campaigns into journeys. No more jumping in and out - of jumping to setup and manage the
campaigns and then back to your journey again – you now have a full create campaign
builder within the Journey canvas.
By dragging this new element onto the builder – you will now be presented with a “Create
Campaign” option that allows you to build the campaign directly within the journey, using our
new create campaign process.
One of the main purposes of this update is to help you launch your campaigns via multiple
channels, with the journey just being one output.
The second update is to our “Email Only” action. This now gives you the ability to create a
new email newsletter campaign directly from the journey as well. We have also updated the
“Select Template” screen – now giving you the ability to actually view your template before
selecting it.
4. Campaigns > Updated Campaign Create View
With Landing Pages, Web Forms, Web Pop Up & Zym Links all merged into “Campaign” we
have now simplified the create process – less steps and less confusing options!
You will now choose from the options shown below and depending on which one is selected
you may also get a sub-set of types.

customising your campaign:

your pre-built templates,
- 2. Add Your Features > Control what happens when someone engages as well as
your landing page settings.

ones you want to use, and select the edit button to customise the channels for that channel.
On the right hand panel you can create new sub-channels, get the URL for previously
created channels, edit and remove channels.

want to be using!

- Channels >> Contains the ability to customise your channels to use throughout your
campaigns.
// Note the functionality of these areas remain the same as before, it’s just presented in a
different way.
1. Pipeline > Updated Pipeline Screen
Over the last few months’, we have been reviewing our Sales Pipeline, and one of the key
updates in this launch has been to quicken the loading times of this area.
We have now created a fixed height layout of all pipeline stages, so you now scroll within
each area, making it easier to review all your pipeline leads and deals to streamline the
process.

single page.

Activity set

To improve the setup process of your Sales area – we have consolidated this into one area.

and add your templates and documents.

We have added the ability to customise your Contact & Company tables, by offering a few
more properties that you can display on these tables.
Simply select one of the properties for the inactive list and move them to your active column.
You then can have the ability to drag and drop these into the order you wish for them to be
viewed.
