The Most Valuable Content Form is a Subscribe form that appears after the instructions section in select recipe or how-to cards (currently we support this placement in Create, WP Recipe Maker, and Tasty) or if you are not using one of those cards, in a custom placement determined by the Most Valuable Content Selector.
Placing forms where readers are most likely to see and interact with them is an effective way to convert those readers into subscribers. The Most Valuable Content placement can increase the likelihood that readers who use Jump button functions within the post can still easily subscribe to your content.
How to Enable the Most Valuable Content Form
Any Spotlight Subscribe or Link Share Form that you’ve already created can be used for your Most Valuable Content form, or you can create a new form!
If you choose to create a new Spotlight Subscribe or Link Share Form, you can find those instructions here.
To add the Most Valuable Content Form to your site, click the toggle switch and then designate the form you’d like to highlight from the drop down menu!
Available forms can be viewed and selected in the drop down menu under
Subscribe Settings > Most Valuable Content
If you are not using a Create, Tasty, or WordPress Recipe Maker recipe or how-to card, you’ll need to define the Most Valuable Content Selector to tell Grow where to place your Subscribe form.
Customization
You can update the image and copy of the Subscribe form you designate for use with the Most Valuable Content Subscribe setting.
Category Targeting rules do not apply to the Most Valuable Content Form. The form you designate for this placement in your Grow Publisher Portal Subscribe Settings will always appear.
Display
The Most Valuable Content Form will appear after the Instructions section in Create, Tasty, and WordPress Recipe Maker recipe and how-to cards.
If you do not use recipe cards, you can manually determine where to place the Most Valuable Content Form by defining a custom Most Valuable Content Selector. Check out our guide for more information.
Note: If you have already subscribed to your chosen Spotlight Subscribe form, you will not see the form appear in the designated place. You can always check in an incognito browser window to make sure it is displaying as you’d like.
Subscribers
You can download your subscribers’ email addresses in CSV format in the Subscribe Settings tab of Grow Publisher Portal. Learn more about manually downloading your subscribers here.
