Why make a quiz in WordPress?
Online quizzes are hugely popular. Not only are they great for increasing engagement on your website (which we all know Google loves!), but they're also a proven way to turn more visitors into subscribers or customers.
Some studies have shown you can double conversion rates by adding a quiz to your website. And that's a big payoff for pretty minimal effort.
So it's no wonder we see fun online quizzes and polls everywhere: BuzzFeed, Facebook, Twitter, and even a lot of eCommerce sites selling skincare, supplements, hair products, and the like.
There's really no limit to their uses!
A helpful or entertaining quiz can help you:
- Build your mailing list
- Improve your email marketing strategy
- Get market research insights on your visitors
- Increase brand awareness
- Grow your social media following thanks to people sharing quiz results
Most people think these quiz types are only for finding what princess you are or to test trivia knowledge.
But they go way beyond that. You can create spelling tests, outcome quizzes, and online exams and generate leads at the same time.
