Understanding how your visitors found out about you in the first place is a great starting point to learning more about who your visitors are. This variation calls for a write-in, which is what we recommend starting with. The reason being is you want to give new visitors a chance to tell you, in their own words, how they found out about you. Offering new visitor answer option will increase your response rate, but ultimately defeats the purpose of the survey, since you're in essence having visitors confirm what you already know.
Survey Content
Possible questions to ask to help uncover this objective:
- "Where exactly did you first find out about us?"
- "How did you find our site?"
- "What were the search terms you used to find our site?"
Recommended answer type: Text based answer
For this objective we strongly recommend not giving visitors a list of options. Reason being is this method can and will work against you by effectively leading the customer to the information or sources you already know about. We want to uncover the answers that we don't already know, and the best way to do this is to give your visitors the opportunity to tell you what they think.
TIP: Remember to always mark write-ins as required. This will ensure that survey takers can only move to the next step once they've entered a response, and it will avoid blanks from showing up in your reporting.
