# Quickstart

> Create an account, add your site, publish a first website survey and read the first response.

This guide goes from a new account to a first response on the website channel. A survey shared as a [link](https://docs.usertick.com/channels/link.md) or [QR code](https://docs.usertick.com/channels/qr.md) needs no install, so the site steps can be skipped for those channels.

**1. Create your account**

At [app.usertick.com](https://app.usertick.com), sign up with your name, email and a password, or select **Sign up with Google**. After an email sign-up, enter the 6-digit code from the confirmation email and select **Confirm email**. Four short questions follow, and only the industry question is required. The industry you choose sets the categories your responses are sorted into; see [How responses are read](https://docs.usertick.com/results/analysis.md). Then enter the **Organization name** and **Billing country** and select **Create organization**. The country list contains only the countries where Usertick can bill a subscription.

**2. Add your site**

In **Settings → Sites**, select **Add site**, enter the **Website address** and select **Add site** again. Each site gets its own install code, and the new site's tab opens with it. The Free and Starter plans include 1 site, Pro includes 3 and Business includes 10.

**3. Install the code**

Copy the tag from the site's tab and paste it into the `<head>` of every page:

```html theme={null}
<script async src="https://cdn.usertick.com/s/YOUR_SITE_ID.js"></script>
```

The dashboard fills in your site's ID. After the change is live on your site, select **Check now**, and the site shows **Connected** once Usertick finds the code. A website survey can be published only on a connected site. The same tab can open an AI assistant with the install request already written, or email the instructions to a developer. For platform guides, see [Install on your website](https://docs.usertick.com/installation/website.md).

**4. Create a survey**

On the **Surveys** page, select **Create survey**, then select **Create with AI**, **Templates**, **Paste questions** or **Blank survey**. The editor opens with the questions ready to adjust. One NPS question with an open text follow-up works well as a first survey.

**5. Choose when it appears**

In the **Channel** step, select **Website**. In the **Targeting** step, add a trigger such as **After a delay** of 5 seconds on the **Triggers** tab. On the **Display rules** tab, under **Show frequency**, set **Repeat behavior** to **Every N days** with 30 days. Pages, devices and visitor types can be narrowed later; see [Targeting](https://docs.usertick.com/surveys/targeting.md) and [Triggers](https://docs.usertick.com/surveys/triggers.md).

**6. Publish**

In the **Publish** step, select the site and select **Publish**. The editor saves your edits as a draft as you work, and visitors see nothing until the survey is published. To see the survey, open your site in a new tab, wait for the trigger and answer it once.

**7. Read the response**

In the dashboard, open **Inbox** and select the response to see its answers. Responses from every channel appear in the same inbox; see [Inbox](https://docs.usertick.com/results/inbox.md).
