Use Cases and Who It’s For
The Surveys and Polls Addon is an essential tool for anyone looking to bridge the communication gap between their brand and their audience. Content creators use it to decide which topics to cover next, ensuring their editorial calendar aligns with reader interests. E-commerce store owners leverage it to gather post-purchase feedback, helping them identify product improvements or service bottlenecks that might be hurting conversion rates.
Marketing professionals find it indispensable for lead qualification and market research. By embedding surveys into landing pages, you can collect demographic data or purchase intent, allowing you to segment your audience more effectively. Additionally, community managers use polls to boost engagement on their sites, giving members a voice and making them feel like an active part of the brand’s growth.
Setup and How It Works
Getting started with the Surveys and Polls Addon is designed to be intuitive, even for beginners. The process follows the familiar WPForms workflow:
- Install and Activate: Ensure the Surveys and Polls Addon is installed and activated within your WordPress dashboard alongside the core WPForms plugin.
- Enable Survey Mode: Open any form in the WPForms builder. Navigate to the Settings tab, select “Surveys and Polls,” and toggle the “Enable Survey Reporting” option.
- Add Fields: Drag and drop the specialized survey fields—such as the Likert Scale or Star Rating—directly onto your form builder canvas.
- Configure Settings: Customize your survey behavior, such as whether to display the results to the user immediately after submission or to keep them hidden.
