Why Conveo customers are switching

Pogo: Built on
 Verified Buyers

Pogo runs quant surveys and AI-moderated qual interviews on 3M+ purchase-verified buyers. When someone says they bought your product, you're starting from confirmed purchase data, not a self-recruited panel.

The structural difference: verified vs. opt-in

Conveo recruits respondents through CSV uploads, QR codes, WhatsApp links, and panel partners — an opt-in model where anyone who clicks the link can self-recruit. Pogo's panel is matched against real purchase and transaction records before anyone qualifies, so every interview starts with someone you can confirm actually bought the product.

Why teams choose Pogo over Conveo

01 · Verified buyers

Verified buyers, not self-reported claims

Most research panels qualify respondents by answering a screener, so anyone can claim to buy your brand to collect the incentive. On Pogo, every respondent is screened by real card, receipt, and location data before the study starts.

02 · Hard-to-fill audiences

Reach the buyers other panels can't

Low-incidence SKUs, a competitor's customers, category lapsers — that's where opt-in panels run dry. Pogo finds them by what they actually bought: brand, retailer, SKU, and frequency.

03 · Behavior + answer

The behavior behind every answer

Most tools give you the survey response. Pogo gives you the response and the verified purchase behind it — the receipt, the store visit, the brand switch — attached to the same person, in one study.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Pogo verify its research panel?

Every Pogo respondent is matched to real purchase and transaction data before they qualify for a study. Instead of screening people on what they say they bought, we confirm it.

What data does Pogo actually use to verify a purchase?

Pogo matches respondents against real-world purchase signals — including credit and debit card transaction data, digital receipts, in-store visit data, and app usage data — before they ever qualify for a study. That's what "purchase-verified" means in practice: confirmed behavior across multiple data sources, not a single self-reported screener question.

How is Pogo different from Conveo?

Conveo's respondents are recruited through CSV uploads, QR codes, WhatsApp links, and panel partners — an opt-in, self-recruited model. Pogo matches every respondent to real purchase and transaction data before they qualify, so "buyer" means confirmed, not self-reported. Additionally, Pogo supports both quant and qual on one platform.

Can I trust that Pogo respondents actually bought the product?

Yes. Because qualification happens against real purchase data before the interview, there's no incentive for someone to misrepresent a purchase just to join a study — a risk that comes up with opt-in recruitment.

Can I interview my competitors' customers on Pogo?

Yes. Because verification runs on purchase data rather than a panel you supply, Pogo can build a panel of any brand's verified buyers — including your competitors' — for direct competitive intelligence.

How is Pogo different from other AI-moderated interview platforms generally?

Most AI-qual platforms still send you elsewhere for large-sample quantitative research. Pogo runs both: native large-sample surveys and AI-moderated interviews, on one panel confirmed by actual purchase behavior.
