Track page feedback
Every published page includes a "Was this page helpful?" widget with thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. Track responses to identify which topics need improvement.
Before you begin
You need a published site. The feedback widget appears on published pages, so a project with no published site collects no feedback.
View page feedback
Go to Analytics in the sidebar.
Open the Search & Feedback tab and scroll to the Page feedback section.
A table shows pages that have collected feedback, with columns for:
Page: the page title, linking to the published page
Helpful: count of helpful votes
Not helpful: count of not-helpful votes
Score: the percentage of helpful votes, color-coded (green for high, amber for middling, red for low)
Interpret feedback
Score | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
70%+ (green) | Topic is working well | Maintain it |
40% to 69% (amber) | Gaps, unclear sections, or outdated info | Review and revise |
Under 40% (red) | Readers are not getting what they need | Prioritize a rewrite |
Focus your effort on topics with both high traffic and low satisfaction. These are the pages where improvements will have the biggest impact on reader experience.
Use feedback with search analytics
Combine page feedback with Monitor search analytics for a fuller picture:
A topic with high search volume and low satisfaction suggests readers find it but leave unhappy: the content needs improvement.
A topic with low search volume and high satisfaction may be well-written but hard to discover, so consider improving its position in the Create and organize a map navigation.
Page feedback is anonymous. You can see vote counts and satisfaction percentages, but not who voted or any additional context. For detailed qualitative feedback, use Create a review session.
