He was asked by his superior Laura, 32 years old and the Head of Digital, to evaluate tools to increase website engagement on newsdigital.de. And if such tools could generate subscriptions for paid content, that would be great, since top management has set the goal of winning 150,000 new subscribers by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laura is having a hard time with this target, especially since competition is doing pretty well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8222;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeit-verlagsgruppe.de\/pressemitteilung\/ivw-iv-2024-die-zeit-erreicht-abo-rekord\/\">Die Zeit<\/a> reaches subscription record\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>David is happy: Sweet! I can play around with new tools for some weeks and also get a budget of EUR 20K to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But once he hears about the additional requirements from Laura, his heart beat jumps and he begins to sweat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The tool must comply to GDPR (of course).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cookies must be managed by the rules of TCF 2.2 via CMP (a lot of time, money and energy was invested in this topic over the last couple of months).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ROI must be high, the tool adds to profit from the beginning, at best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It would be great to show ads in the tool (subscriptions need to be generated, after all).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The tool needs to support integration with the existing DMP (since <a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.pinpoll.com\/en\/google-will-block-third-party-cookies-in-the-chrome-browser-from-2023\/\">Google<\/a> will stop Third-Party Cookies in 2024)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The easier the tool is for editors to use, the better. Ideally, it should automatically create votes that match the content. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And as if that wasn't enough, Tom, the 38-year-old CTO at \"News Digital\", adds his two cents via MS Teams. Tom is currently getting rid of numerous slow widgets on newsdigital.de and the only thing that matters to him is performance. Few server requests, fast response times, \"lazy loading\" and no \"tag-in-tag\" - these are his knockout criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David hasn't even heard of some terms before - until now, he gasps for breath ...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.giphy.com\/media\/3oz8y0bx23FDPCNoEU\/source.gif\" alt=\"A picture containing logoDescription automatically generated\" style=\"width:609px;height:609px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quick coffee break, he calms down a little and starts to google. He quickly stumbles upon a tool provider called \u201cPinpoll\u201d, located in Austria. Austria, a country he associates with mountains, cows and his last skiing holidays - but technology from a small country located in the Alps? He continues to read and to his great pleasure, discovers a recent comparison of several tool providers for more website engagement, published in the \u201cPinpoll Magazine\u201d - the Austrians just saved a lot of David's precious time \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battle Sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>And now: Ready to rumble! Here are five hand-picked tool providers that help to increase website engagement, conveniently wrapped up as a little \u201cbattle sheet\u201d for David to print and present to Laura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"936\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Battlesheet_EN.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1521\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Battlesheet_EN.png 720w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Battlesheet_EN-231x300.png 231w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Battlesheet_EN-9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, lazy loading shouldn't only be relevant to Tom, but also to Laura, who is responsible for the budget: If elements are loaded but not seen by anyone, no billing should take place. However, this is not done by all tool providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus: Performance Benchmarking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Tom, we have prepared a little bonus for him: A quick performance benchmarking of Civey, Opinary and Pinpoll using <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/tools\/lighthouse\">Lighthouse<\/a> provides the following results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pinpoll<\/strong> scores second best in terms of performance with 89 points for widgets with an image and 90 points for widgets without an image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"568\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-423\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_1.png 908w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_1-300x188.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_1-768x480.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_1-16x10.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For widgets without an image, <strong>Pinpoll<\/strong> scores green in all areas and even full points for SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"568\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-424\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_2.png 908w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_2-300x188.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_2-768x480.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pinpoll_2-16x10.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opinary<\/strong> does not score so well in terms of performance with 71 points and that without an image. In addition, Opinary is not green in all areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1523\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-1024x512.png 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-300x150.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-768x384.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-1536x768.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-18x9.png 18w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse-1200x600.png 1200w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Opinary_Lighthouse.png 1916w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Civey<\/strong> has the worst performance score of 58 points, and that's without an image. In addition, Civey is not green in any area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"908\" height=\"568\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/civey.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-422\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/civey.png 908w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/civey-300x188.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/civey-768x480.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/civey-16x10.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don't always have to buy tools from Israel and the US. Each of the providers compared has strengths and weaknesses. If data protection, performance, personal support (\u201cwith a face\u201d) and a fair price are important to you, you will also find what you are looking for in Europe. And, yes, especially in Austria. If market research is more what you're looking for, we recommend the solutions from our colleagues at Civey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That in mind, we're looking forward to hearing from you soon, David \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinpoll.com\/#contact\">https:\/\/www.pinpoll.com\/#contact<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ready-to-Rumble-5-Tools-to-Increase-Website-Engagement-Compared-07-2022.pdf\">Ready to Rumble: 5 Tools to Increase Website Engagement Compared<\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Ready-to-Rumble-5-Tools-to-Increase-Website-Engagement-Compared-07-2022.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ausgangslage Jan ist 27 Jahre alt und Junior Product Manager bei \u201eNews Digital\u201c.
