Private equity firms are investing considerable time in sustainability strategies, portfolio data, case studies and reporting. But when so much valuable information is locked away in a PDF report, it will be largely ignored by AI and search tools.
Oakley Capital has solved this and future-proofed its reporting.
Working with Friend Studio, Oakley Capital has moved all its reporting to a digital-first design process (using advanced platform, Reportl) which delivers both online and PDF reports in a click, with identical content. This is also ready to meet tagging requirements like CSRD.
Reportl makes the entire process more efficient, offers audiences the choice of format, and optimises content and data for more accurate AI analysis.
The result:
60x more visits
Reportl’s data analysis of more than 31,000 reporting users has found that:
- 85% choose the online report first, not the PDF
- On average, digital-first reports generate 12x more total engagement than PDF alone
- Digital reports rank much higher in AI and search results, and online data remains relevant for much longer than PDF
- PDF remains important: avg of 30% of users still download the PDF after viewing online
- The online report led to a 10x increase in PDF downloads (because of the improved AI and search visibility online)
- Reportl makes trusted online reporting sources easier for search and AI tools to find and analyse – independent academic research has found that online reports are cited by ChatGPT 3x more frequently than PDF reports.
