A Review of 31 Website Feedback Tools You Need in Your Life

Feedback methods will help you know what your customers think of you- why not try some of these tools?

Using feedback tools can help you learn what your consumers think of your product, services, and website. From there, you can make improvements or changes to keep your customers happy.

Most customers won’t complain to you- they’ll simply take their business elsewhere, complain to family and friends, or complain on social media. If you don’t know that they’re complaining, how can you fix what their complaint is? Use feedback tools, and you’ll prevent this from happening in the future!

Feedback tools are becoming more and more popular as sales happen more and more online. Feedback tools can address things you won’t find in Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics. Web analytics are great for what they do, but for more in-depth info you’ll want to use feedback tools to gain further insights.

Here we’ll go through reviews of 31 feedback tools so you can decide which to use for your site. Almost all of these tools have free trials or demos.

Feedback comes in many forms (pun intended).

5 Types of Feedback Methods

There are multiple ways to get short feedback from customers- here’s what they are

  1. Voice of the Customer: This focuses on the visitor’s experience and has them communicate directly what their thoughts are. This method does not interrupt the viewer’s interactions with your site.
  2. Community Feedback: This is a feedback forum collected via your website and published in a public forum, where users can vote and make suggestions.
  3. Usability/Visual Feedback: This is feedback about certain elements of a page, such as buttons or text. It can be gathered in a mock-up or live online, and appears as a screenshot through email that you can comment on.
  4. Webshop Reviews: This emails a customer and asks them to evaluate their experience after buying a product. They rate the experience numerically and can leave comments.
  5. Traditional Surveys: These are your regular surveys where you can ask as many questions as you want. Be warned, though, as many customers won’t want to sit through twenty questions.
