How to create a NPS survey

A step-by-step guide to creating your own survey that brings insights into your brand and acts as a predictor of growth.

Updated this week

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey is a widely used tool for gauging your customer's loyalty and satisfaction.

The survey is centered around a single question: "How likely are you to recommend our product/service to a friend or colleague?"

It's a simple yet effective way to gauge customer satisfaction and identify areas for improvement.

Customers respond on a scale from 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely).

You can calculate your NPS score and predict your company's future growth.

This score provides businesses with a clear and easily interpretable metric that helps benchmark performance over time or against competitors.

Organizations may also use a customer satisfaction survey to gauge how their customers feel about their brand and products. Managers and employees use this form as a feedback tool to determine weaknesses and areas of improvement.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create an NPS survey that effectively captures customer sentiment and generates actionable insights.

Let's get started!

Here, you can edit the questions, add new ones, or customize the design according to your preferences.

You can choose from a variety of fields to add such as multi-choice, long text, score 0-10, and many more.

Score field

This is the most important field for your NPS survey as it asks the essential question: “How likely are you to recommend [company] to a friend or colleague?”

The minimum and maximum messages can easily be updated on the form editor to suit your needs.

“Based on the price of our products/services, how likely are you to recommend it to others?” is another popular NPS question to enhance your survey and get more specific information about your product.

Long text field

This field will allow you to create follow-up questions such as:

“What is the primary reason for your score?” to gather insight into the strengths/weaknesses of your company.

Another popular question: “Is there anything we can do to improve your experience in the future?” provides ideas for future improvements and helps identify growth opportunities.

Single choice field

Single-choice field questions such as “What's your age?” are used to categorize respondents.

This field can also be used to get general feedback on specific aspects of your product using questions such as “Based on your recent experience, how would you describe [company]'s product quality?”

Step 2: Customizing your survey

This is crucial for staying informed about what your customers think about the product and ensuring that the company retains its reputation.
