How to choose the right sample questions

1

Match the question to what you want to measure

Use rating scale questions (NPS, CSAT, CES) when you need a benchmark score. Use open-ended questions when you need qualitative insight. Use multiple choice when you want to categorize responses.

2

One idea per question

Avoid double-barreled questions like "Was the product fast and easy to use?" - split them. Each question should measure one thing so you can act on the result.

3

Keep surveys under 5 questions

Completion rates drop sharply after 5 questions in in-product surveys. Pick the 2–3 questions that matter most for your current goal and add open-ended follow-ups only where needed.

4

Always follow a rating question with an open-ended one

The rating gives you a score to track. The open-ended follow-up tells you why. Both together let you act - without the open-ended question, you cannot fix the problem.

5

Test your questions before sending at scale

Send your survey to 10–20 users first. Check if the phrasing is clear, if the answer options cover the range of real responses, and if the question order feels natural.
