You have the full power on which answers or responses should be visible on your site.
You must be wondering that how this thing works. Don’t worry I am going to tell you everything from the start.
The first thing – What are the things Speakol do:
Speakol provides you many interactive discussion and comparison boxes which will let your readers to enter their views on the topic. There are many types of discussion boxes that Speakol provides.
1. Debate:
As the name suggest this debate box can be used to start a discussion on your site. To start with this, you have to give a nice title to your debate. After that, you have to specify the name of debaters. These name can be anything, even you can put the name of products if you want to debate on them.
After that, there is a space for Job Title which actually lets you tell about those debater. Then their description which is detailed explanation about them.
It gives you an option to choose the number of days for which this debate will run. After that you can choose the category and click on Get Code to get the code.
2. Comparison:
Since, when I first came across Speakol, this was the first thing I did. Comparison box gives you a clean and beautiful boxes in which you can compare two products., two services or any other things. This thing is quite good since the readers only have to tell which one they like.
Readers will also have an option to add comments but that will be optional. So, basically it is good for lazy readers who are interested in engaging but lazy to do a comment or writing some other things.
Comparison requires pictures but you will have the option to remove them. It is also very simple, you just have to insert images, type their description and get the code.
3. Argument Box:
This is a great debate box since it directly asks a question from your readers. To use it, you just have to insert a question and that’s it.
For an example the question would be : Do you think Randy Orton will win in the Payback?
That is just an example, you can use any question which is suitable to your niche.
There is one more advantage of using this type of box. Speakol also have a WordPress plugin and it currently support only this feature. That means you don’t have to put the code your self, it will be taken care by the Speakol WordPress plugin.
