Revleads is a portal allowing software vendors to maintain and advertise their product listings across the Revleads network of publications (see below) including our comparison portal Crozdesk.com as well as our niche audience sites like thedigitalprojectmanager.com. The Software Vendor Portal has been rebranded, as it now powers a much wider network following the acquisition of Crozdesk Ltd. by Black And White Zebra Industries Inc. (BWZ).
Crozdesk joined the BWZ group in April 2022 to help bring a whole new selection of brands and software buyers to you. BWZ is an independent media company whose portfolio of influential digital publications has been helping millions of people succeed at work since 2012. BWZ produces high-quality, original, expert-made content in verticals with a strong overlap into the B2B SaaS market. We’ve built online communities, engaging content products, dynamic audience experiences, and strategic partnerships to help software companies and prospective buyers meet their perfect match.
To add a new listing to your account, simply click on the plus icon at the bottom of your Vendor Panel dashboard and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you wish to claim an existing Revleads listing and add it to your dashboard, please fill out the Claim a Listing form. If your claim is approved, the product listing will appear on your Vendor Panel dashboard and you will be able to manage the listing from there.
To use Crozdesk user review or other badges as a convincer on your website simply navigate to the ‘User Reviews’ page of the relevant listing. There you will find a range of different options and their embed codes. After copy-pasting the unaltered code onto your site, it will update continuously.
You can add more users to your account by navigating to the ‘Account’ tab on the main menu at the top of the Vendor Panel. You can invite new users via email, see the list of existing users with access to your listings, and delete said users from that list.
Revleads uses password-less login links that are sent to your email address. You can use the 'Account' tab on the main menu at top of the Vendor Panel to update your user details.

The best way to improve your ranking is by collecting user reviews. Find more information on how the Crozscore is calculated and what factors are taken into account.
All products listed on Crozdesk are automatically eligible for Software Awards. Products are vetted for relevance and winners are chosen based on the Crozscore ranking algorithm. Awards are published once per year in most larger categories. You can find the list of awards and publication dates here.
You can respond to reviews under OTHER > USER REVIEWS in your product listing menu. To find the menu navigate to the product dashboard and click on the relevant listing.
You can contact us at vendor@revleads.com to contest a review. To ensure the integrity of the user review system, we can only take down reviews if clear and verifiable evidence is provided that a review was left by someone who was not a user of the product they reviewed or if their review violates the user review guidelines.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns allow you to generate high-quality web referrals. Running a PPC campaign will feature your product in the top (“sponsored”) section of categories and related pages on Crozdesk.com. You can also be featured on listicles across various other Revleads network sites. This will lead to a significant uplift in potential impressions and visits to your website. Additionally, a range of call-to-action buttons are added, which send interested users straight through to one of your dedicated landing pages.
Getting started is easy and campaigns can be launched in minutes. You can set a monthly budget and simply pay-as-you-go for generated clicks. You can set your maximum bid for each category you want to be featured in (starting from $6.00 per click) and we will only charge you as much as the next highest bid. We then bill your account once a month and give you all the reporting capability you’d expect to stay on top of your ROI.
Successful PPC campaigns are measured by tracking clicks that convert to leads, sign-ups, and software purchases on your website. Revleads offers a free conversion tracking tool that allows you to stay on top of your ROI with ease.
At the moment via the Revleads portal you can run our self-service campaigns on The Digital Project Manager, People Managing People, Crozdesk.com, TheProductManager.com, TheQALead.com, TheEcommManager.com, TheCMO.com, TheCXLead.com, TheLeadPastor.com, TheCFO.com, TheRevOpsTeam.com and TheCTO.com. However, if you get in touch with the vendor team you can run PPC across all of our sites:
All of our brands are run by industry experts and are some of the largest, fastest-growing authorities in their respective niches. They feature in-depth listicles that showcase your solution in front of actively engaged software buyers.
Once your product listing has been submitted for review you can start a PPC campaign for it. Running a campaign helps you maximize your product’s exposure and unlock high-quality referrals. Simply navigate to your product dashboard and choose the ‘PPC campaigns’ option for the product you would like to promote. Set your bids, customize your appearance in each category and follow the on-screen instructions to start the campaign.
Yes, a monthly budget limit can be set for your campaign after activation. The minimum monthly budget required to run a PPC campaign is $1,000 USD. If your budget is less than the minimum threshold, you’ll have limited access to features in the vendor panel. Remember you only pay for the clicks you receive, even if they fall below the $1,000 threshold.
You can set or edit the monthly budget on your listing’s ‘PPC Bid Management’ page at any time. If you hit your monthly limit, your campaign automatically pauses until the first day of the next month when your budget resets. You will receive notifications from us if the campaign is approaching your budget limit or we expect it to reach budget before the end of the month/billing cycl
Yes, Revleads uses JavaScript and various other methods to validate clicks, so you won't be charged for spam or bot clicks. For example, if the same user (browser cookie) clicks more than one time in the same listing, we consider this a duplicated click, and do not count it.
Additionally, Revleads has algorithms in place to prevent you from being charged for invalid or unusual activity. We monitor our site regularly and adjust our blocking systems accordingly.
It is very common for discrepancies in data between an ad server and a client's own analytics tool. There are several reasons for this type of discrepancy. GA4, for example, may be blocked in many different real-life situations, like a user using Firefox as their browser or by ad blocking technology. A user might not make it to the landing page for various reasons; a weak wifi signal or having too many tabs open and losing track of where they were headed.
To understand the basics, our ad tech system tracks the number of clicks a particular listing receives on our sites. These clicks then redirect the user to the another website or a specified landing page, provided by our vendors when they set up their campaign. We use advanced technology to block and filter out any bot traffic to our sites. So we take the extra step of validating clicks.
Revleads offers conversion tracking through a clever code snippet available on each product listing’s 'Conversion Tracking' page. Just embed this script on the signup or checkout success page(s) on your website. After the implementation, your conversions will show up on the 'Analytics' page and the IP addresses of conversions will be shown on the 'Conversion Tracking' page, allowing you to match your user signups and track your channel ROI.
Additionally, you can add UTM parameters to referral links (on the ‘General’ tab when editing your listing) and track clicks through your preferred analytics software.

SoftwareSelect offers a range of custom lead-generation campaign options, which generally fall into 2 categories: Pay Per Lead Campaigns (PPL) and Exclusive Lead Campaigns.
PPL campaigns provide highly-qualified sales opportunities across select software categories and industry verticals. PPL leads are digitally captured through inbound forms and are fully phone-qualified by our knowledgeable software vendors before they are introduced to you. They are shared with up to 4 vendors and offer high conversion potential.
Exclusive lead campaigns are available across a wide range of software categories and tend to generate top and middle-of-the-funnel Marketing-Qualified-Leads at companies that are exhibiting a solid interest in the type of software solution you offer. The exact lead-generation process varies depending on the requirements, but most of these campaigns include a touchpoint with one of our dedicated call agents. They can engage leads, build relationships, introduce them to your offering or qualify them according to your custom specifications. Leads tend to require some further nurturing after hand-off, but are an effective choice for many vendors with enterprise solutions and a refined marketing and sales funnel. Exclusive lead campaigns are subject to a custom proposal and are never shared with other vendors.
You can find out more about lead campaigns and opportunities by scheduling a demo with the vendor team.
Premium listings upgrade your Crozdesk listing with a range of branding features and unlock intent data across the SoftwareSelect network. Schedule a demo with the vendor team to find out how a premium listing can help you reach a wider audience.
