Social Networking Platform Engagement & Satisfaction Survey
Measures how people actually use a social networking platform — frequency, trust, feature value, time allocation, and loyalty via a recommendation score. Built for product, growth, and trust & safety teams at social platforms and community apps. The AI follow-up interview digs into the specific moment behind each promoter or detractor score instead of generic praise or complaints.

How likely are you to recommend this platform to a friend or colleague?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's recommendation score, anchoring on one specific recent moment on the platform rather than general opinions. If the score is low (0-6), find out what happened, what would need to change for them to raise it, and whether it's a one-off or a pattern. If the score is high (9-10), find out what specific feature or interaction drives that loyalty. If they flagged intrusive ads or a negative experience earlier, connect that to whether it affected this score.

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
- Goes beyond a satisfaction score by pairing an opinion-scale recommendation question with an AI follow-up interview that probes the specific moment behind each promoter or detractor rating, instead of stopping at the number
- Uses a max-diff exercise and a constant-sum time allocation question to force real trade-offs between features and time, giving product and growth teams prioritization data static rating grids can't produce
- Includes a dedicated incidents question (things experienced in the last 30 days) alongside a matrix of agreement statements, useful for trust & safety teams tracking harm alongside satisfaction
- Every response is scored for quality automatically and prompts used in the AI interview are transparent, so researchers can audit exactly what was asked and why before trusting the auto-generated report
QuestionPro
Social Networking Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire TemplateA genuinely comparable template covering social networking usage and satisfaction topics, presented as a sample questionnaire with pre-written questions researchers can adapt. It reads as a static question bank/reference rather than an interactive fielding tool with built-in analysis. Good starting point for question wording, but leaves scoring and follow-up analysis to the researcher.
What it does well
- Purpose-built around social networking usage/satisfaction topics, matching the survey's subject matter
- Provided as a ready reference questionnaire, useful for benchmarking standard question phrasing
- Backed by an established survey platform with broad question-type support
Where it falls short
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — every respondent sees the same fixed question list regardless of their answer
- No mechanism to probe the specific reasoning behind a recommendation score; likely relies on the number alone
- No published methodology or prompt transparency since there's no AI-driven questioning layer
SurveyMonkey
Social Media Survey TemplateA directly relevant, ready-to-field template for measuring social media usage and satisfaction, built on a mainstream survey platform with solid distribution and reporting tools. It's a fixed-question template, so it doesn't adapt based on how a respondent answers. Reporting is standard aggregate dashboards rather than per-response qualitative follow-up.
What it does well
- Ready-to-deploy template on a widely used, established survey platform
- Likely includes standard analytics dashboards and benchmarking against other SurveyMonkey users
- Simple to launch quickly for teams already using SurveyMonkey
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI interview to dig into the reasoning behind a rating
- No per-response automated quality scoring to flag low-effort or inconsistent answers
- No option for voice-based interviews or guided screen-share tasks to observe actual feature use
