Want to get quick feedback on your articles in WordPress? Normally readers can leave feedback in comments, but due to the public nature of comments, the majority of people leave without giving any kind of feedback. In this article, we will show you how to get quick feedback on your articles in WordPress.

Getting Quick Feedback to Boost User Engagement

One way to measure the success of any content is to see how users engage with it. For most blogs, the most common way for users to engage is by leaving a comment or sharing the content on their social profiles.

However, the majority of users don’t feel inclined to leave the comment or share content. There are lots of things you can do to get more comments or boost social media engagement.

Another way to get users a chance to interact with content on your site is by using reactions. Unlike comments or social sharing, reactions allow users to react with just a click.

There are many other ways to add more interactions to your website.

Having said that, let’s see how you can use a click based interaction to get quick feedback for your WordPress posts.

How Feedback Prompt Works

When users visit your website, they are asked to rate your site by clicking on thumbs up or thumbs down buttons.
