Includes a best-worst trade-off on what actually drives vendor choice, plus an AI follow-up that unpacks the reasoning behind recommendation scores. Built to run quarterly for longitudinal tracking.

Probe the reasoning behind the recommendation score the respondent just gave for (Your Brand). If the score is 8 or higher, find out what specifically earned that confidence and whether it's tied to a recent experience or a general impression. If the score is 6 or lower, dig into what's holding them back, whether it relates to a specific unmet need from the vendor comparison factors, and what would need to change to move the score up. If they named a competitor as their primary vendor, ask what tipped the decision that way.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Combines unaided and aided brand awareness with consideration and current-vendor-usage questions, so you see the full funnel from recognition to actual purchase in one instrument.
- Includes a best-worst (MaxDiff) trade-off exercise to quantify what actually drives vendor choice, not just self-reported importance ratings.
- Pairs a recommendation-likelihood scale with an AI follow-up interview that automatically probes the reasoning behind each score, surfacing the 'why' that static scales miss.
- Captures firmographic and role-based segmentation (company size, purchasing role, industry) so results can be cut by buyer type, and is built to be refielded quarterly for longitudinal tracking.
Jotform
Brand Awareness Survey Form TemplateA fielding-ready, fully customizable form template for measuring general brand awareness. It's built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, geared toward quick deployment rather than B2B-specific competitive tracking. No named-competitor benchmarking or trade-off analysis is built in by default.
What it does well
- Easy to customize via drag-and-drop builder
- Quick to deploy for general brand awareness
- Flexible for various industries and question types
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up probing
- No built-in trade-off (best-worst) methodology for driver prioritization
- No transparent, publishable methodology for how questions were designed
SurveyMonkey
Brand Awareness Questionnaire TemplateA ready-to-field questionnaire template backed by SurveyMonkey's survey methodology expertise, covering standard awareness and perception metrics. It's a static question set intended for broad brand tracking rather than a B2B-tailored competitive-positioning instrument with trade-off analysis.
What it does well
- Methodology-informed default question wording
- Established survey platform with broad distribution options
- Straightforward benchmarking against general awareness metrics
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview to dig into open-ended reasoning
- No MaxDiff-style trade-off exercise for vendor-choice drivers
- No transparent prompt-level methodology since it isn't AI-driven
SurveySparrow
Brand Perception Survey TemplateA conversational-style survey template focused on brand perception, using SurveySparrow's chat-like UI to improve completion rates. It's still a fixed, static question flow rather than an adaptive interview, and isn't specifically structured for B2B buyer segmentation or named-competitor tracking.
What it does well
- Conversational chat-style UI that can boost respondent engagement
- Focused specifically on brand perception rather than generic awareness
- Simple to launch as a standalone perception tracker
Where it falls short
- Conversational UI is scripted, not adaptive AI probing based on responses
- No trade-off/MaxDiff exercise to prioritize purchase drivers
- No B2B-specific role/firmographic segmentation built into the template
Typeform
Brand Awareness Survey TemplateA visually polished, fielding-ready template built on Typeform's one-question-at-a-time format, good for general consumer-facing brand awareness. It offers a pleasant respondent experience but lacks B2B-specific competitive benchmarking, trade-off analysis, or deeper qualitative follow-up.
What it does well
- Clean, engaging one-question-at-a-time format
- Easy to brand and customize visually
- Good for quick top-of-funnel awareness checks
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to explore respondent reasoning
- No trade-off methodology for ranking vendor-choice drivers
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated analytical report
