How to Add a Quiz to Your Website
Why Quizzes Work on Websites
Quizzes are one of the highest-engagement content types you can add to a website. Unlike static text that visitors skim, a quiz demands interaction. Visitors read each question, think about their answer, and want to see how they scored. This active participation keeps people on your page longer, which sends positive signals to search engines and increases the chance they explore other parts of your site.
Quizzes also serve a business purpose beyond engagement. A knowledge quiz can educate visitors about your products. A personality quiz can recommend the right product or service. A scored assessment can qualify leads before they reach your sales team. The quiz format wraps useful business logic inside an experience visitors actually enjoy.
Step-by-Step Setup
Log into your admin panel and navigate to the Web Builder app. Select the trivia content type to start building your quiz. Give it a name that describes the topic, like "Product Knowledge Quiz" or "Industry Trivia Challenge."
Add questions with multiple choice answers. For each question, mark which answer is correct. You can add as many questions as you want, but 5 to 15 questions is the sweet spot for most website quizzes. Too few feels shallow, too many causes drop-off before completion.
Set up what visitors see after completing the quiz. The platform automatically calculates scores and can show different result messages based on how well the visitor did. You can display a percentage score, a pass/fail result, or a custom message for different score ranges.
The quiz is hosted on your domain automatically through the Web Builder. You can link to it from any page on your site, embed it in a blog post, or feature it on your homepage. The quiz page is fully responsive and works on mobile devices.
If you want to collect contact information, add an email or phone capture field that appears before showing results. Visitors who have invested time answering questions are much more likely to provide their contact details. See How to Use Quizzes for Lead Generation for detailed setup.
Types of Quizzes You Can Create
Knowledge Quizzes
Test visitors on a topic related to your industry. A financial advisor might quiz visitors on retirement planning basics. A pet store might test knowledge about dog breeds. These quizzes establish your expertise while educating your audience.
Assessment Quizzes
Help visitors evaluate their own situation. "Is Your Website Ready for SEO?" or "How Strong Is Your Cybersecurity?" Assessment quizzes naturally lead to recommendations, making them ideal for service businesses that want to demonstrate need.
Product Recommendation Quizzes
Guide visitors to the right product based on their answers. A skincare company asks about skin type, concerns, and preferences, then recommends specific products. See How to Build a Product Recommendation Quiz for this approach.
