How to Enable & Customize Feedback Settings

The Feedback feature allows your website visitors to rate whether a webpage or an article is helpful for them or not. It appears as a question at the bottom of a webpage or the end of an article, and readers can respond by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

Benefits of asking for feedback on your help content:

• It tells you how your web pages or articles are performing
• It helps you measure customer satisfaction
• Detailed feedback enables you to create the best customer experience
• Shows your audience that you value their opinion

Here’s how the feedback survey appears at the bottom of a page or article:

Whether the response is ‘‘Yes’’ or ‘‘No’’, it is instantly stored in the feedback report that you can check out later. When your website visitor answers ‘Yes’, the following question is presented to them to end the survey. They can choose to send their feedback or ignore the second question by clicking ‘No thanks.‘

When the answer is ‘‘No’’, your website visitor gets the follow-up question which lists some selectable responses such as ‘Fix typos or links’, ‘Fix incorrect or incomplete information, ‘‘etc. They can also provide additional feedback in the comment box provided below. They can choose to send or ignore this follow-up question by clicking ‘No thanks.‘
