5 Star Rating Survey guide

The 5 Star Rating Survey allows you to build surveys that ask your customers how satisfied they are with your organisation. The survey contains a two part question consisting of a five point scale question followed by a free-text question. These questions provide a method to measure customer sentiment with your brand, product, or service. Both the five point scale and free-text question can be customised using your own words.

In addition, you can tailor the survey with your own title and custom thank you text, your company logo and optionally add a question of your own.
