The 14 website feedback survey questions

A website feedback survey asks people who have just used your site what they came to do, whether they managed it and what got in the way. This one adds five ratings and a pick of the single fix that would help most. All fourteen questions are ready to edit in the free survey tool.

Plain text, one question per line, with the answer scale.

How to use the website feedback survey

Put the link where a visit ends: on the confirmation screen after an order or a sign-up, and in the footer of every page. The GOV.UK service manual asks its own teams for both.[1] Publish one copy of the survey for each placement, and each set of results tells you where it came from.

Nothing asks for a name or an email address. The written answer is the only optional question.

Start with everyone who answered No or Partly on question 2. Their blockers, their picks on question 11 and their written answers are your fix list, ranked by count. Report question 14 as the share who chose 4 or 5, and compare it with your last send.

Three browser windows each carrying a small link marker, with separate lines running from each marker to its own separate set of result bars
One survey, three placements, three sets of answers.

Website feedback survey FAQ

What questions should a website feedback survey ask?

Ask what the visitor came to do, whether they managed it and what got in the way, then rate finding, following, wording, speed and trust. Add an open question about how to improve; the GOV.UK service manual treats that one as the minimum.[1]

Can I put the survey on my own website?

Yes. Link to it from your footer or a confirmation page, or embed it in a page of your own. Publish one copy for each place to keep the results apart.

How do I measure website satisfaction?

Report question 14 as the share of visitors who chose 4 or 5, then run the same survey after each change. For a score across the whole relationship, use the customer satisfaction survey.

Can I use it before a website redesign?

Yes. Run the identical fourteen questions before the redesign starts and again a month after launch. Identical wording makes the two results comparable.
