SiteFeedback to Action Items in 20 Minutes

The first time I asked for SiteFeedback at WA, I was excited. Then I opened the replies; pages of suggestions, opinions, and “you should do this.”

I felt overwhelmed. Where do you even start when 10 people are pointing in 10 directions?

It reminded me of cooking with my mother. She’d say, “Don’t just throw everything in the pot because people told you it’s tasty. Pick what makes sense, or you’ll ruin the meal.”

That’s the secret to SiteFeedback: filter, prioritize, and act. And you can do it in 20 minutes flat.

Step 1: Scan for Themes (5 Minutes)

Read through all feedback once without reacting. Look for patterns. If three people mention your font is hard to read, that’s not random; that’s a theme.

Themes = top priorities. One-off nitpicks = optional.

Step 2: Sort Into 3 Buckets (10 Minutes)

Take a notepad or open a doc. Create three columns:

• Fix Now (quick changes: font size, spacing, typo corrections)
• Plan Later (bigger projects: redesign, content strategy shifts)
• Ignore (things that don’t align with your vision)

This way, you know what matters today, what can wait, and what you’ll politely skip.

Step 3: Take 1 Action Immediately (5 Minutes)

Don’t close your feedback tab until you’ve acted on one thing. Just one.

• If it’s a typo, fix it.
• If it’s a color tweak, update it.
• If it’s a broken link, replace it.

That single action creates momentum. Suddenly feedback isn’t a burden; it’s fuel.

My Own Lesson

The first time I applied this, I changed my blog’s header font based on three comments. Within a week, my bounce rate dropped. Small tweak, big effect.

Had I tried to fix everything at once, I’d still be stuck.

Why This Works

Feedback isn’t valuable until it becomes action. By scanning, sorting, and acting, you turn noise into clarity.

And here’s the truth: WA members give feedback because they care. When you take it seriously but not personally, you grow.

🔥 Pro Tip: Always thank the people who left feedback, even if you don’t take all their advice. Respect builds respect. And when you act on just one thing right away, you prove; to yourself and others; that feedback works.

Because at the end of the day, SiteFeedback isn’t about changing your site to please everyone; it’s about sharpening your site to serve your purpose.
