10 Things You Need to Do to Make Your Survey Crush!

Keep it Short

Research from a study of 25,080 web surveys shows that shorter surveys lead to higher response rates. Keep your questions brief and ensure your survey takes no longer than 15 minutes to complete. Use question logic to skip unnecessary queries and focus only on information that will drive better decisions. Remember, every question should serve a purpose – to help you take action, not just gather data. If your respondents see value in every question, they'll be more likely to stay engaged and complete the survey.

1
2

Multiple Choice & Checkboxes

According to a 2017 study, multiple-choice questions have higher response rates than open-ended ones, especially for the first question. When designing your survey, use multiple-choice or checkbox questions to encourage quick responses. To keep engagement high, avoid matrix questions, as they often feel overwhelming by combining multiple questions into one. Make your survey inviting by simplifying your questions, and give participants a feeling of progress as they answer.

Show One Question at a Time

Displaying one question at a time reduces the perceived effort for participants, boosting engagement. Surveys with this setup have seen response rates increase by over 20%. This makes it easier for participants to focus on each question without feeling overwhelmed by the number of questions yet to come. Our survey maker automatically uses this setting to help you get more responses. Keep the interface simple, intuitive, and focused on helping participants get through each question easily.

3
4

Avoid Progress Bars

Progress bars can discourage respondents by revealing the survey's length upfront. By skipping them, you encourage participants to start answering right away. The goal is to make the process as simple and inviting as possible. Instead of showing a progress bar, use positive reinforcement and clear navigation. Let people focus on the current question without worrying about how far they have left to go.

Personalize Invitations

Personalize your survey invitations to connect with participants on a deeper level. Whenever possible, let them know in advance that they’ll receive a survey. A study shows this approach significantly improves response rates. Personal touches like using their name or referencing specific topics they care about can make all the difference. Think about how you would like to be addressed if you were in their shoes.

5
6

Explain Why the Survey Matters

People are more likely to participate when they understand the purpose. Clearly explain why their feedback is valuable and how it will be used. When respondents feel that their input will lead to meaningful changes, they are more inclined to participate. As Professor Robert Cialdini suggests, "We are more successful when we provide a reason." Show your participants that their time matters, and that their input is crucial in making informed decisions.

Experiment with Survey Design

Test different email subject lines and question formats before launching your survey. Short, personal titles like "How did we do?" perform much better than generic options. Don’t be afraid to try out different wording and styles to see what resonates best. Avoid progress bars and design your survey to make participation as effortless as possible. Make the experience so simple and intuitive that participants feel it's easier to continue than to quit.

7
8

Send Reminders

Follow-up reminders can significantly improve response rates. Limit reminders to three, spaced about a week apart. According to research, early morning emails, around 6 a.m., yield the best results. Consider following up via phone or social media as well. Reminders give participants an extra nudge, showing that their input is still important to you.

Optimize for Mobile

Ensure your surveys are mobile-friendly since most people use their phones to browse. A smooth, fast experience on mobile devices can significantly boost completion rates. Make sure that buttons are easy to click, text is readable without zooming, and there is minimal need for scrolling. Mobile optimization is crucial for getting the most responses in today’s mobile-first world.

9
10

Use Incentives Wisely

Incentives can boost response rates if done right. Rewards provided immediately upon completion work best. A $5 incentive tends to be more effective than $1. Use our survey maker to offer coupons, prizes, or custom thank-you messages as incentives. Make the reward appealing and relevant to your audience. Even small incentives can make a big impact when they are timely and personal.

How can I analyze survey results effectively?

Effective survey analysis starts long before you look at the results—it begins with how your survey is designed. By crafting clear, unbiased questions, you can minimize response bias and ensure your data is accurate and actionable. Here’s what you need to know:
  • Understand Response Bias: Response bias occurs when participants provide answers that don’t reflect their true thoughts or behaviors. This can happen for various reasons, like poorly worded questions, social pressure, or survey fatigue. Learn more about effective question design to avoid these pitfalls.
  • Craft Neutral Questions: Avoid leading or loaded questions that might push participants toward a specific answer. Use clear, concise language to eliminate confusion.
  • Test Your Survey: Run a pilot test with a small group to identify issues before your survey goes live. This helps ensure your questions are clear and your survey design is effective.
  • Analyze Results with Context: When reviewing responses, consider the possibility of bias in certain answers. For example, extreme responses or consistently neutral answers might indicate participants didn’t fully engage with the survey.
  • Use Visual Analytics: Tools like charts, graphs, and heatmaps can make patterns easier to spot. This visual approach helps highlight trends and potential anomalies caused by response bias.
  • Export for Deeper Analysis: Export your raw data to tools like Excel to use filters or pivot tables for a more thorough analysis. This can help you explore correlations and uncover hidden insights.
Remember, great results start with great question design. For tips and examples to craft better surveys, visit our Survey Questions page. By addressing response bias and focusing on clear, effective questions, you’ll collect data you can trust and make decisions with confidence.

How many questions should a survey have?

The ideal number of questions for a survey depends on your goals, but keeping it concise is key to maintaining engagement and collecting reliable data. Research suggests that shorter surveys tend to perform better in terms of response rates and data quality. Here’s what you need to know:
  • Completion Rates Matter: A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science found that shorter surveys achieve higher completion rates. Aim for surveys that can be completed in under 15 minutes.
  • Keep It Engaging: Surveys designed to take 15–20 minutes maintain participant interest without overwhelming them. Research in Family Practice highlights that concise surveys reduce the risk of incomplete responses.
  • Focus on Quality Over Quantity: Asking fewer, well-designed questions can lead to better insights. Overloading respondents with too many questions increases the risk of survey fatigue and abandonment.
  • Communicate Time Expectations: Let participants know upfront how long the survey will take. Transparency helps build trust and encourages completion.
The sweet spot for most surveys is between 5–10 questions, depending on their complexity. For longer surveys, consider grouping questions into sections or providing a progress bar to keep respondents motivated. Remember, great survey results start with clear, well-thought-out questions. For tips on crafting effective questions, visit our Survey Questions page.

How do I write great survey questions?

Writing great survey questions requires focus and clarity:
  • Define your goals to ensure every question serves a purpose.
  • Use simple, neutral language to avoid bias.
  • Test your questions on a small group to identify confusion points.
