Engagement Grower creates a customizable related post section and allows you to choose which content is recommended after each post. It then performs automated A/B split testing and tells you exactly what’s keeping your audience most engaged.
No more poorly matched content served up by an inaccurate or cumbersome algorithm. With Engagement Grower you’ll know exactly what content is most effective.
Our plugin is easy to learn and use. You will be an expert in just a few minutes.

Engagement Grower Features
- Simple Interface.
- Post Selection. Select which posts you want to show up as "related posts" at the bottom of each page. Sort by engagement ranking or keyword to find the best posts.
- Proprietary Engagement Ranking. The plugin tracks which posts are the most engaging by measuring clicks and time on page to determine a ranking for each post.
- Templates. Use your theme's built in styling, or use one of six included related posts themes.
- Highly Customizable Don't like the theme options? You can further customize the look by changing the colors, fonts, and sizing.

The first time you use Engagement Grower, the system will analyze all the posts on the site to give you the best recommendations as fast as possible. It takes 1-3 minutes for every thousand posts on your site. The great thing is,
it only has to be done once.
