Based on a typical SME scenario. Results shown are illustrative of what’s possible with IdeaJudge.
Background
PivotDesk provides workflow automation tools for freelancers and solopreneurs. They had a sleek website, a steady stream of paid traffic, and a solid social media presence—but their conversion rate just didn’t match their ad spend.
Their marketing manager, Rahul, put it bluntly:
“We were spending $5,000/month driving traffic, but didn’t get the results we were hoping for. Many visitors just bounced.”
The team was stretched thin creating blogs, webinars and social posts—yet engagement felt flat. Content fatigue was setting in.
The Challenge
PivotDesk faced three problems:
-
Rising costs of paid ads with falling returns.
-
No scalable way to differentiate from competitors who offered similar features.
-
No way to turn traffic into long-term engagement—visitors clicked away without converting.
Rahul realized they didn’t need more traffic—they needed better engagement and conversion from the traffic they already had.

Here’s what they did:
- Added the IdeaJudge icon to their website, next to their social icons.
- Automatically received a branded IdeaJudge page showing breakthrough, patent-pending ideas by inventors from around the world.
PivotDesk also enabled the branded weekly email, featuring:
- New inventor ideas tailored to each subscriber’s interests.
- A product spotlight section linking back to PivotDesk’s website.
- Weekly emails automatically sent to all subscribers.
