How Engagement Pages Are Solving the Puzzle of Civic Project Coordination

A Common Problem with a Familiar Story

Imagine this: Your city is launching a new neighborhood park. There’s a prioritization activity to rank features. A survey about location preferences. Maybe even a budget simulation to explore costs. Add in a few content posts with project updates and... now what?

Where do residents go to see it all?

Until now, it’s been tricky. Each tool, valuable on its own, lived on its own island. But community projects are rarely linear. They’re ecosystems. And ecosystems need a map.

The Missing Link: Organization

Polco has long given governments powerful ways to engage residents, surveys, polls, prioritizations, simulations, and content posts. That flexibility is what makes the platform so effective. But as one city planner told us: “It’s not the tools I need help with, it’s the glue.”

That’s where Engagement Pages come in.

Introducing Engagement Pages: A Simple, Powerful Index

Think of Engagement Pages as a project landing page, an elegant way to group all your related engagement items into a single view. Whether it’s a downtown redevelopment initiative, a transit overhaul, or a parks master plan, Engagement Pages give your team, and your residents, a shared space to explore everything in one place.

Each page can include:

• Surveys
• Polls
• Prioritization activities
• Budget simulations
• Content posts
• And even live events

It’s a hub. A home base. A clean, skimmable reference point.

From Confusion to Clarity

This might sound like a small change. But for residents, the shift is huge.

Instead of clicking through multiple links or trying to remember where they last saw that budget activity, they can now start from one centralized page. One link to share. One page to bookmark. One story, told in pieces, together.

For administrators, it also means less time managing links, and more time focused on engagement.

Built for the Way You Work

These pages were built with real-world use in mind. You can:

• Create an Engagement Page for each project or initiative.
• Update the content as new activities launch.
• Keep inactive items visible for reference, or hide them when they're no longer relevant.
• Use it as a tool for internal coordination or external transparency.

Whether you’re hosting a virtual town hall or preparing a report for the city council, Engagement Pages streamline the story.

Already Making an Impact

Cities piloting Engagement Pages have already shared feedback like:

“This makes us look organized and responsive.”

“It helped our residents connect the dots.”

“We finally feel like our tools are working together, not separately.”

That’s exactly what we hoped to hear.
