Your product documentation may not be as exciting to you as your product itself, but it\u2019s just as valuable.<\/p>\n

If you are a programmer, entrepreneur or a product manager, it\u2019s the product that you always think about and rightly so. But I propose that your product documentation is part of your user\u2019s product experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Imagine a user\u2019s path from awareness of your product, research on your product, purchase, and on-boarding. Do you realize that your documentation could have a great influence on your users multiple times during this initial path? Shocked? Yeah, it was at this light bulb moment that Helpie WordPress Documentation<\/a> plugin was born.<\/p>\n

Helpie helps you make an excellent documentation for your product and gives you actionable insights that will improve your user\u2019s product experience, reduce support time and enables you to find new opportunities to enhance your product.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can use your product documentation made with Helpie as a sales tool:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Write about solutions to user\u2019s problems<\/strong>
    \nOf course, you can use Helpie documentation plugin to write about how a specific feature works. But you can go further by writing about how your product solves a particular problem that users\u2019 have.Writing about the user\u2019s core problem and how your product solves it, is more attractive to your user than just talking about features.<\/p>\n

    Stripe is an excellent example of how to do this well. Their docs<\/a> are so well written that there are a lot of users\/developers who use their product just because of their docs.<\/p>\n

    Makes sense, doesn\u2019t it? Just look at their docs, and you can see that as a developer looking for a payment gateway, it answers all your concerns and reservations.<\/p>\n

    Easy decision to become a Stripe User.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Get feedback
      \n<\/strong>Product documentation is an excellent place to get feedback for your features. With Helpie\u2019s voting system and comments section, it\u2019s super easy for your users to share how they feel about a specific feature.Helpie has 2 types of voting feedback:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Emo voting :<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Your users can show you if they \u2018love\u2019, \u2018smile\u2019, \u2018meh\u2019 or \u2018frown\u2019 at your article. Every product needs to know what the emotional response its users have towards it, Helpie gets you exactly that.<\/p>\n

      Ii. Classic voting: <\/strong><\/p>\n

      For a technical or internal documentation, you can choose the classic voting and let your users\/team show their like or dislike.<\/li>\n

    2. Search Engine Optimisation
      \n<\/strong>Your Helpie powered documentation is an excellent way to get Google\u2019s attention to your website. Just write the best documentation that\u2019s relevant to your users and Google will make sure to send a truckload of traffic your way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What should you have in your Product Documentation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Important things to have in end-user documentation:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. User Guides:<\/strong>

      3. Product Vision:<\/strong>

              \n

              You just go on typing documents and add subtitles using HTML title tags ( h1, h2, h3, etc. ), and Helpie automatically converts them into links in the table of content. When your users click on those links, it takes them to the content under that subtitle.<\/li>\n

            3. Frontend Editing:<\/strong>
              \nWho wants to go to WordPress dashboard to create or edit a new doc? No one ever! That\u2019s why we added a neat frontend editing feature.Now, you and your users can add\/edit your documentation articles right from the frontend.<\/li>\n
