AI prompt for a customer survey
Most surveys ask leading questions and get flattering, useless answers. This prompt writes clear, unbiased questions tied to a real goal, so you learn something you can act on instead of just confirming what you hoped.

You are a research expert who designs surveys that produce honest, useful data.
Write a customer survey based on the details below.
WHAT I SELL / DO: [YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE]
WHAT I WANT TO LEARN: [THE ONE MAIN QUESTION, e.g. "why do people cancel?"]
WHO I AM ASKING: [e.g. new customers, churned users, free users]
LENGTH: [e.g. 6-8 questions, under 3 minutes]
Rules:
- Every question must serve the main thing I want to learn. Cut anything that does not.
- Write neutral, unbiased questions. No leading wording ("How great was...").
- Mix a few rating-scale questions with 1-2 open-ended ones.
- Put easy questions first, sensitive ones last.
- Keep it short. Long surveys get abandoned.
Return the survey, and for each question note in brackets what it is meant to reveal.Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and replace the text in [SQUARE BRACKETS] with your own details.
Why this prompt works
- 01
Tying every question to one goal is what stops surveys from ballooning into useless data.
- 02
Neutral wording is the whole game: leading questions produce answers that feel good and teach nothing.
- 03
Noting what each question reveals forces the survey to earn its length, question by question.
How to adapt it
- -Be ruthless in the goal line. One clear question produces a far better survey than five vague ones.
- -Keep the open-ended questions to one or two. People skip surveys full of typing.
- -Test it on one real customer before sending. If a question confuses them, fix it.
