@Muru I have seen Quora work for 3 teams/5 i have worked with. Some key takeaways:
1. Wrote answers that were self sufficient and not clickbaity. Lot of context and copyediting to make it as actionable and useful as possible (continuously modified my bio to make it as relevant to topic)
2. Works primarily for indian and us audience. Rest of all geo traffic belonged to a long tail
3. It is a very rich source of content topics and titles to write posts on your own website/blog. I have even verbatim used titles from there and it works great for SEO
4. Haven’t tried or seen great examples of enterprise b2b do well there. but for smb b2b / consumer facing, have seen repeatable success (note: last playbook i tried was in
typito.com 1.5 years back so dont have recent first hand learning)
5. Embed videos and gifs to make content more engaging. answers with gifs got us around 30% more traffic from quora compared to answers without
6. You can use the ads manager feature to identify specific questions that get more views (rather than trying to answer all questions). you dont need to run a paid campaign. you just need to add your card and go to dashboard with intent to start and target. then dont start.
