The ease of collecting the right contacts at a company and the ability to send outreach campaigns through the CRM platform. Makes my life as an affiliate manager so much easier
CRM capabilities could use improvement in the future
Time-saving machine that helps me find the right contact information at the websites I need to reach out to.
I love that it helps you find new link-building opportunities.
Probably the UI/UX can be made a bit more friendlier.
It helps us find link-building opportunities very fast.
I love how streamlined the whole flow is, from drafting personal emails to tracking responses. The tool makes three processes into one, offering not only a level of efficiency that is unmatched but also tames the chaos that link building can often be. A lot of thought has been put into the user interface – it's intuitive, easy to navigate and it significantly condenses the steep learning curve that's usually associated with similar tools. Another aspect of Respona that notably stands out is how much it helped us improve our response rate. Thanks to the ability to personalize outreach emails using variables, even when mass emailing, our response rate has significantly improved. The automated follow-up feature deserves some credit too, ensuring that we never waste potentially fruitful collaborations.
While the team offers a one-on-one onboarding as well as a help center with step-by-step tutorials, I wish there was some kind of interactive in-tool tutorial
Before we adopted Respona, managing our email outreach used to be a tiring and inefficient process. Identifying links, crafting personalized outreach emails, and maintaining a solid follow-up routine often required us to use various tools, making the process overly complicated. Respona has revolutionized this by providing an integrated platform for all these processes and has been truly transformational for our team. It's helped us save time, work more efficiently, and improve our outcomes while making the often tedious work of link building a bit more enjoyable.
"Respona has been a game-changer for us thanks to several standout features. The search engine is particularly powerful - it spares us the painstaking task of manual prospecting for link opportunities. It can also run several queries at the same time, automatically, so the time savings are exponential. Another impressive feature is the shared inbox. I use 5 different sender emails, and before Respona it was a pain having to juggle five tabs just to keep track of my inboxes. Respona brings them all in one place."
Sometimes it gets laggy if you have over a thousand contacts in a campaign. Also, verifying such big campaigns can take a while. But what's good is that you don't need to keep it open - you can work on something else while it's verifying.
With Respona, all link building operations have been centralised into one platform easing our workflow and allowing for far more effectiveness and efficiency. Also, the time we used to spend searching for link opportunities and managing outreach has been drastically slashed.
Honestly, the list of things I like about Respona is lengthy. But it really all comes down to just how easy and effective everything is. It's easy to get started, and you can have your first campaigns running within an hour or two, and I really value that.
A more comprehensive in-tool tutorial would be beneficial. But the team offers a personalized onboarding, that covers everything, and you can save the recording of it.
Quick and detailed contact into of our potential prospects and the ease of personalization at scale has helped turn our pitches from generic asks for links to meaningful, human interactions. The result is a palpable increase in response rates and the effectiveness of our campaigns.
Respona turns normally time-consuming tasks, like prospecting for relevant links and sending personalized emails at scale, incredibly efficient. The software’s automated email finder and robust search functionality mean that we can pull up a list of potential high-value outreach contacts within seconds. Keeping track of multiple outreach efforts could get messy, but Respona simplifies it by systematically organizing follow-up emails, giving a birds-eye view of all our campaign, and providing a centralized place for managing all communications.
While Respona packs an impressive punch with its set of features, there are a few areas which could see some enhancements. For rookies dipping their toes into SEO, the initial setup could seem somewhat daunting. You do get a one-on-one onboarding, but I personally learn better on my own, so I would prefer an interactive tutorial.
We're now able to connect with more potential link partners and create meaningful relationships via personalized emails. The reduction in the time and effort required to prospect and run campaigns has not only made our campaigns more efficient but has also freed up our time to focus on other tasks. All in all, Respona has not only helped the team in running effective email outreach campaigns but also has left a positive impact on our workflow and campaign success rates.
What I particularly enjoy is the campaign scheduling tool. With our large team and numerous campaigns to handle simultaneously, being able to time our campaigns, assign priorities and have them sent out automatically is a true godsend. No longer do we need to manually check each outgoing mail and strategize follow-ups - Respona does that for us. However, the real gem of the tool is the ability to monitor response rates and predict performance. This allows us to continuously check and improve our strategies, making it much easier to understand what does and doesn't work. We're working smarter, not harder.
You still have to manually look through your emails, just to make sure all the variables are populated correctly. Sometimes a name isn't capitalized - small things like that. My biggest gripe is with generic emails - instead of a name, it says "Company team" - and if that company consists of several words, it sometimes crams them together. But it's not really a huge issue since you can set it to say "hey there" instead of that if no name is found.
Alongside saving time, the fact that we can approach outreach more strategically thanks to Respona's birds-eye tracking and reporting is a game-changer. We've been able to increase conversion rates and build more sustainable relationships thanks to the tool's streamlined blend of automation and personalization.
Its in-built search engine saves me hours of browsing the web in search for potential link opportunities. Then, there's the contact finder that looks for and verifies email addresses for my prospects. The collaboration features have also enabled our team to work together seamlessly, ensuring that all team members are up-to-date about every aspect of our outreach effort - and we can work on each others' campaigns in batches.
While Respona is undeniably a value-for-money proposition considering all it offers, a lower-cost entry-point would make it for smaller businesses. Good thing we're a bigger agency, though, and the unlimited plan makes it very much worth it.
From a benefits perspective, Respona has significantly impacted our productivity. We’re saving countless hours previously spent on manual research for potential outreach prospects and organizing our workflow.
For me, the standout feature of Respona has to be their email finder and verifier. From running wide automation for targeted manual searches to importing raw CSV files for direct contact importing - everything you ever need to do is here. This array of options has significantly improved our outreach results. Another highly appreciated feature is the tool's advanced campaign tracking and management. Respona allows us to track every email, response, and follow-up in one place. Maintaining an overview of how each campaign is performing has never been easier for us.
Nothing really, I can't imagine doing outreach any other way.
"With automated email scheduling and follow-ups, we now have a significantly streamlined process that allows us to be more consistent and efficient. Since incorporating Respona into our operations, our team has seen considerable increases in productivity and successes in our outreach campaigns. More than anything, Respona has transformed our work from being persistently bogged down with manual tasks to focusing more on strategic decision-making."
For me, it's all about the ease of integration. All of our outreach efforts, be it PR or link-building, can be run on a single platform without any need for switching, saving us a lot of valuable time. The email finder feature is also impressive, enabling us to connect with almost anyone, even if we don't have any names. Their search engine is another game-changer. With it, we can find the best link prospects matching our criteria in minutes. It greatly amplifies our ability to find high-quality link building prospects, on auto-pilot.
Only that Google searches only return the first 10 pages of results, but this can be somewhat mitigated by experimenting with the search string. Also, it can run multiple queries at the same time, so it kind of mitigates the issue. But still, when doing manual searches, 10 pages can feel a bit restrictive.
As an SEO agency, we had been using different tools for different outreach tasks. By integrating all these functions into one platform, Respona has eliminated a ton of inefficiencies, simplifying the process by a huge deal. It has also solved the problem of finding the right contact email to reach out to, providing us with accurate email addresses with its email finder. The time saved by streamlining these processes has allowed us to focus more on creative tasks, while increasing our output in terms of campaigns.
