Sample Site-Feedback Questionnaires

For an ad-supported website that was losing market share to competitors, Researchscape streamlined the Web Acceptance Model and updated it to follow question-design best practices.

For a B2C company, Researchscape designed a CX (Customer Experience) program with an annual relationship survey and transactional surveys for the most common steps on the customer journey. One of those transactional surveys was a site-feedback intercept survey.

Unfortunately sites with low traffic (under 40,000 unique visitors a month) typically lack the volume to gather enough quantitative information; for smaller sites, a survey invite via email to evaluate the site is often the best approach.

Whether used by just the marketing department, or as part of a comprehensive Customer Experience program, site-feedback surveys can provide valuable input to use to prioritize future web development.
