2
Get verified human feedback
Your test goes to respondents matched to the audience you selected. Every person votes and explains their reasoning in writing, so you learn not just what they chose, but why. TractionWay is not an AI-generated feedback tool — every response comes from a real, verified human.
- LinkedIn-checked, role-verified respondents
- Written explanation from every voter
- AI summary to spot patterns faster
3
See who wants to hear more
Some respondents may optionally share their contact details after voting. That interest is voluntary — the main value is still clearer decision-making from real feedback.
- Optional contact interest
- No incentive to fake intent
- Export available contacts when shared
Enter your landing page URL — we'll turn it into a ready-to-run feedback poll
Paste your URL and we'll pre-fill a test so verified respondents can review your page and tell you what works, what's unclear, and what they'd change.
Free 7-day trial. Cancel anytime.
You own 100% of your ideas
TractionWay never claims ownership of your content. Your ideas, concepts, and strategies belong entirely to you.
Anonymous by default
Respondents never see your name, company, or email. They only see the test itself, so feedback stays focused on the idea — not on who submitted it.

Quality
How respondent quality is protected
We check professional identity, screen for fit, track response quality, and reject low-quality applicants before they ever reach your test.
We use multi-signal verification: LinkedIn profile checks, professional role confirmation, and behavioral screening. We track response quality, time spent, and consistency — and reject 60%+ of applicants who don't meet our early adopter criteria. Low-effort respondents are flagged and removed.
You get a full response breakdown with vote counts, written explanations from every respondent explaining their choice, an AI-generated pattern summary highlighting key themes, and optional contact details from respondents who chose to share their interest.
Most polls receive their full response count within 4 hours. You'll get email notifications as responses come in, plus an AI-generated analysis report when your poll completes.
No. Your submission is shown completely anonymously — no name, no company, no email attached. Respondents are verified professionals with no connection to your industry and no incentive to compete.
Yes. After voting, respondents can optionally share their email if they want to hear more. This is entirely voluntary — they get paid the same whether they share or not. When someone does, it signals genuine interest, not an incentivized action.
Yes. TractionWay offers curated respondent segments like Early Adopters, Startup Decision-Makers, and Practical Buyers. Each segment is grouped by professional role, company context, and behavior — so you get feedback from the people most relevant to what you're testing.
Run one clear test. Learn what to change next.
Validated messaging starts with relevant feedback from real people.
