Softonic.com is a Barcelona-based software hosting platform offering safe, verified downloads for PC programs, games, and mobile apps across roughly 20 languages, with over 100 million monthly visitors and one of the most visited software platforms in the world.
With 500,000+ titles and more added daily, Softonic's in-house team couldn't keep pace with writing original human-made reviews fast enough, keeping up with competitors on visibility and engagement, and thoroughly checking downloadable files, landing pages, and banners for quality and compliance — risking search rankings and new-user growth as pages went live without adequate review.
Build a scalable content operation that could keep pace with a constantly growing catalog while protecting the quality standards both users and search engines expected — without overwhelming Softonic's internal team.
Rather than assigning tasks immediately, KDCI first learned Softonic's actual workflow using their training materials and ongoing feedback, then built a shared workflow, quality standards, and escalation structure before scaling. Teams were stood up covering page creation/curation with original reviews, content quality checks, marketing monitoring/optimization, and QA/compliance — all working inside Softonic's existing CMS, Asana, and Slack, with Grammarly built into the writing process.
Full roster of specialists: Content Writers, Proofreaders, Web Content Specialists, Digital Marketing Specialists, Quality Assurance & Compliance Specialists — grown from a single support function since 2018.
Since the partnership began, Softonic has seen consistent quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth in traffic, downloads, and conversion rates — often exceeding its own targets — while ranking higher in search and growing revenue, without overwhelming its internal team.
Seven years in, the partnership has kept expanding rather than plateauing, evolving from a single support function into a full multi-team operation spanning content, QA, and marketing — a track record Softonic's team points to directly as a reason the relationship keeps growing.
"We have worked with KDCI since 2018, and over those years they have become a genuinely reliable partner for our content operations... We value this partnership and we are looking forward to building on it for years to come."
