What is an Online Survey?

Online Surveys are questionnaires that can be completed by respondents online - on a browser such as a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile. Surveys are conducted for a variety of purposes such as general market research studies, academic evaluation surveys, consumer and customer feedback, employee job satisfaction and so on.

The biggest advantage of using an Online Survey over manual spreadsheets or paper based surveys is the deep and insightful analysis of the respondent data that happens in real-time and fully automated with QuestionPro Online Surveys.

Types of Survey Research using Online Surveys

QuestionPro's survey software offers the widest range of online surveys. Here are some of the widely used types of online survey research methods :

1. Email Survey Research

As the name suggests, email survey research is used to send online surveys over a simple email. The emails may either content a link, an embedded survey question or an embedded survey question which also serves as a link which directs users to browser for further questions.

Below are the 2 types of email surveys :

Single-question email survey

Single-question email survey

This type of online survey just has one question which can be answered in the embedded email itself. It does not direct users to any browser.

Multi-question email survey

Multi-question email survey

Multi-question email survey can either be a link which directly takes users to a browser, or an embedded question which also takes users to the browser for answering the complete set of questions.

2. Mobile Survey Research

Mobile survey research is conducted through a mobile survey that is answered over a mobile browser. This means that the survey itself has to be mobile compatible. With QuestionPro, all surveys are mobile-ready!

3. Web-intercept Survey Research
