This serves a dual function of allowing brands to discover their competitors. Your customers are providing you key information into what brands you are competing with. This is also particularly useful for businesses with a large variety of products, as you can pinpoint which brands you are competing against for which products. Businesses can thus position against them, through ads on the competitor's brand name, display ads comparing both brands, and so on.
Imagine discovering which aspects of your offering made all the difference and using that knowledge to fine-tune your marketing strategies. It's like hitting the bullseye every time. For instance, you might uncover that your stellar customer service or unique features sealed the deal for customers.
Was there any part of our store that was difficult to use?
Ah, the elusive realm of user experience (UX). It's no secret that a smooth and seamless online experience can make or break conversions. By asking this question, you're shining a spotlight on potential usability issues that might be hindering your customers' journey. It's like polishing the rough edges and smoothing out the wrinkles.
When you address these concerns and make your store more user-friendly, you're paving the way for smoother conversions. Imagine a customer mentioning a design flaw that hampers their navigation, and as you fix it, their journey becomes a breeze.

Imagine discovering that your customers combine seemingly unrelated selling points when doing their research. We've seen brands find many responses where the uncovered keyword suggestion is similar to size + description, like "trial size mushroom coffee" or uncovering emerging trends like "morning routine hack.”
What do you wish we offered more of?

Want to find out about any CRO issues your business may have? Use this question.
How would you describe our product in a few words?
Brands often take a passive approach to finding out how their consumers think about their product. That could be done by waiting for customer reviews, or performing social listening, and so on. With this, you’re able to take a more active approach instead.
Learning the needs of your customers is pivotal. You need to ensure that your products are serving its intended purpose, because at the end of the day, the customer is always right. With this, you can get tangible data to validate your products or get feedback on where improvements need to be made.
This question can also serve a secondary purpose of driving your SEO. By getting a glimpse into how your customers describe your products, you get insights into the key terms or words they think of. This can be a signal of what else they would type into their search engines when looking for products like yours.
Is there anything we can do to improve your shopping experience?
Our other questions so far look for problems that your customers may have faced. That’s super important if you’re actively seeking to uncover and address any problems that exist.
While its importance is undeniable, it may not be what your business wants or needs. With this question instead, we are positively reframing the question. This would give your customers the impression that you’re looking out for them and have their best interests in mind, rather than purely looking for issues to solve.
Is this the first (type of product) you’ve ever purchased? If not, what brand did you own previously?
You might be someone’s first, and that’s a big milestone.
If you do find out that you’re their first, it’s critical that you ask follow-up questions to find out how you can build brand loyalty among them. Pair this data with other questions like “How did you hear about us” to get a more comprehensive overview of how you can do so.
Now they might have also switched to you from another brand. This section of consumers is another major demographic that you need to understand, as converting customers to pick your brand over others is key to driving your sales. Again by using our follow-up feature, you can pinpoint your competitive wins and validate your selling points.
