Analyze customer feedback

APPLIES TO:

Once you've set up and conducted your customer loyalty surveycustomer support survey or customer satisfaction survey, analyze the feedback and track performance over time to improve your business processes.

To analyze feedback for an individual survey:
  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to Service > Feedback Surveys.

Each survey details page will break down individual responses and overall metrics for that survey. This data is separated by the Responses and Analyze tabs.

Responses

  • Click the Responses tab to see all the feedback you've received for the survey. You can sort these responses by clicking a column header.

      • Date range: view the responses that were submitted within a specific date range.
      • Contacts: view responses that were submitted by specific contacts. The dropdown menu contains a sample of your contacts. You can search for any contact in this filter.

Analyze

On the Analyze tab, view summaries and charts of your feedback metrics. The metrics on this tab will differ slightly between survey types.

The first report will show you an overview of your data.

For web surveys, you will see:
  • Surveyed: how many visitors were surveyed.

Please note: a value of N/A under Surveyed indicates that HubSpot was unable to register a view for a survey response. As a result, the contact may not display in the survey analytics. This can occur because the respondent was using for example, an ad blocker or had a browser extension installed that blocked our tracking code.

  • Responses: how many of the surveyed visitors responded.
  • Responses with comments: how many responses included comments.
