Claim: embedding a feedback control inside the main content drives far more responses than peripheral widgets. Built an inline star widget with configurable prompts and tracked clicks via Google Analytics event tracking. Tested across 50 pages and sees roughly a 10x increase in engagement; also A/B tests a more personal prompt versus generic text. Results are preliminary but concrete and repeatable, so the talk focuses on experiments, measurements, and actionable changes.
