Why this template

What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.

What sets it apart

  • Includes an open-text unaided recall question ('From memory, which brand was featured in the ad you just saw?') to measure true brand recall rather than prompted recognition alone
  • Combines opinion-scale ratings for message clarity, ad relevance, CTA clarity, and CTA compellingness so creative and CTA performance can be diagnosed separately
  • Uses an adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe respondents' own answers in their own words, going beyond fixed-choice or open-text responses alone
  • Captures behavioral intent (site/app visit likelihood, 30-day purchase likelihood, and actions already taken) alongside standard demographic and screening questions for media-mix analysis
