Websites play a crucial role in how consumers access information and make decisions. When designed properly, websites provide convenient, easy access to products, services, and information, and drive engagement and loyalty. 

Increasingly, companies turn to automation to help consumers find services and information they need. 

A 2021 Salesforce survey found that automation solutions increased productivity for more than 90 percent of workers. About 85 percent said these tools boosted collaboration across their teams, and almost 90 percent also said they trusted automation solutions to get more done without errors and help them make decisions faster.

By using technology to streamline the content process, organizations can reduce the time spent on content ideation, research, and development.

Using this automated content creation process, Waters’ team has significantly improved user engagement and increased conversions.
