The Two-Step Approach

We recommend a two-step process for your Survey Questions:

  1. Step 1: Gauge satisfaction - Ask how satisfied they are
  2. Step 2: Route appropriately
    • Happy customers (4-5 stars) → Public review request
    • Unhappy customers (1-3 stars) → Private feedback form

This approach maximizes positive public reviews while capturing negative feedback privately.
