Hi there, @Hellen_charless :waving_hand:

This is a great niche and a perfect fit for interactive widgets. Based on our available widget set and common use cases, here are top Elfsight widgets to boost engagement on a content site like yours:

  • Social Feed
    This works great of you actively post puzzle content on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other social channels. This widget lets you combine the posts from different social channels in 1 place.

  • Popup
    This is often the #1 engagement booster. Using the Form element you can easily collect emails and turn visitors into subscribers.

  • Comments
    This is just a perfect app if you’d like to add live discussions and let users share tips right on your website

  • AI Chatbot
    You can use this app for instant help (how-to guides, rules, quick hints) or to field user-submitted puzzles and FAQs.

  • Poll
    The Poll app is a perfect fit if you’d like to let users share their guesses for the next Letter Boxed solution


Placement & UX Ideas

  1. Floating subscription bar
    As mentioned above, you can use our Popup to collect emails. This app offers various layouts (from Top/Bottom bars to Side panes). Feel free to test it out and choose the one that fits your website best :slightly_smiling_face:

  1. Social Feeds
    We recommend you placing the feed where visitors expect social content (pages or zones where people look for updates or visual content). The Social Feed can consolidate multiple networks into one widget, so use it where topical or visually engaging posts support the page’s purpose.

  2. Polls
    You can place them right under the puzzles to collect the guesses right away


Performance

Elfsight widgets are designed to be highly optimized, ensuring minimal impact on your website’s loading speed. However, there are certain cases where performance can be affected.

Tracking & Conversion

We have a bunch of widgets, where you can track the user interactions via built-in Google Analytics integrations. Here are the posts, where you can find more info:


And if the widget you need doesn’t have the Google Analytics integration, our devs can create a Google Analytics code for you. Just describe your use case and we’ll gladly help :wink:

If you have any further questions, we’ll be delighted to advise!
