If your readers have opinions, give them a say
Add an interactive ranking to any post. Readers vote head-to-head, then see how everyone ranked them, all without leaving your page.
How it works
- 1
Pick a ranking — choose from what’s already on the site, or build your own in two minutes.
- 2
Paste the embed code into your post. It works anywhere that allows HTML.
- 3
Watch your post come alive. Readers vote, then see how everyone else picked.
First, get a ranking. Two ways.
A ranking is the interactive block you drop into a post. Instead of a flat list, readers vote head-to-head and see how everyone ranked it. Two ways to get one:
Find a ready-made ranking
Search youpick.best for your topic. Public rankings on all kinds of topics, ready to embed. No account needed.
Type a topic and matching rankings appear. Open one, copy its code, done.
Or build your own ranking from scratch
Five steps, about two minutes, no design skills needed.
Write your question
Type what people vote on. Want a head start? Pick one of the questions the site suggests.
Add the options
Each option gets a name, a short description and an image. Write them yourself, or let AI suggest a full set you can edit.
Review the lineup
See every option in one place. Reorder, rename, or remove any before you publish.
Design the cover
This is the preview readers see in your post. Pick one of the option photos, or arrange a few into a collage.
Publish, and it goes live
Hit publish and your ranking is live, ready to embed. Publishing needs a free account. Your readers never do.
Then add it to your post
However you got your ranking, it embeds the same way, on any platform that allows HTML.
Copy the embed code
On the ranking’s page, click “Embed” to reveal the code.
Paste it into your post
Drop the code into a Custom HTML block. It loads inline, with no plugins. WordPress, Substack, Ghost, Medium, Squarespace, and anything else that allows HTML.
Example of what you paste (the Embed button fills in your ranking):
<div data-ypb-ranking="your-ranking-slug"></div> <script src="https://embed.youpick.best/v1/loader.js" async></script>
See what your readers see
Three views, all inside your post: the preview cover, the head-to-head vote, and the full ranking after they vote. Nothing opens a new tab. Nothing shifts your text.

It never hijacks the scroll
The widget keeps a fixed height. Readers swipe the ranking sideways inside the card, so your article never jumps.
It fits the phone, not fights it
On a phone the ranking sits in your text and resizes to the screen. Buttons stay big enough to tap.
Only what helps you. Nothing that gets in your way.
Made for site owners. It loads fast, keeps readers on your page, and doesn’t change how your post looks. Free, with no upsells.
Free, no upsells
No trial, no card, no paid tier. Create it, embed it, keep it. Your readers never pay either.
Your site stays fast
The loader is under 5KB and loads asynchronously. The widget wakes up only when a reader scrolls to it.
Your results stay yours
Votes from your site stay in your results. Other sites embedding the same ranking never mix in.
Edits sync everywhere
Change the ranking once and every embed updates automatically.
Never a redirect
Voting and results happen inside your page. We never pull readers away.
No signup for readers
Tap to vote. No email, no form, no account. Nothing stands between a reader and a vote.
No ads, ever
The only mark is a small “Powered by YouPickBest” line. No banners, no sponsored content.
No emails, no cookies
We never ask your readers for an email and set no cookies on your site. One anonymous token stops double-voting. Nothing that identifies a person.
No layout damage
No popups, no overlays, no floating bars. It sits in your content like a normal block.
Works for almost any audience
Bloggers, teachers, newsletters, fan sites, local guides — your site fits right in. Whatever your readers would argue about, hand them a ranking and let them settle it.
