With Asklayer, market research is now more accessible than ever before. Businesses of all sizes can gather valuable insights and feedback from their target customers using online surveys, polls and questionnaires.

Doing market research is no good if you can’t interpret the results!

Asklayer automatically groups and aggregates collected data into neat charts, wrapping up your market research responses into easy-to-understand output.

If you are a power user who wants to dive deeper, data can be analyzed down to single responses and exported for further segmentation.

Many trigger options

Approach with perfect timing

Trigger based on time, exit intent, scroll depth, inactivity, purchase activity and many more. Over 3 million combinations of trigger settings are possible!

Better reporting

Customizable followup flows

After a customer has engaged once with your market research survey they are far more likely to keep engaging and giving you valuable insight.

Asklayer allows an unlimited number of followup questions and complex flows including re-directing users based on their answers to ensure you get the feedback you need to improve your products and services.

More about market research polls and surveys

What is a market research poll or survey?

Market research polls or surveys are methods used to gather data and opinions from a specific group of people, often a target audience or a sample of the general population. These methods are used to collect information about various aspects of a product or service, such as its features, pricing, branding, or advertising. They can also be used to gather insights into customer behavior, preferences, and needs.

Polls and surveys are usually conducted using a set of questions that are designed to elicit specific responses from the participants. The questions can be open-ended or closed-ended, depending on the type of data that is being sought. Open-ended questions allow participants to provide detailed responses in their own words, while closed-ended questions offer a set of predetermined answer options for participants to choose from.

Can you give me a concrete example of how this would be used?

Phillip runs an online store selling boots. He is doing quite well and would like to expand his range with new products. The cost of tooling and producing 100,000 units is very high! He needs to know what product will fit the market before investing.

Phillip launches an Asklayer market research poll on his store asking his customers what color and length of boots they would like to have produced next.

He uses the aggregated results to find the most popular length and color combination and takes that to the factory, confident in his success.

I'm a small business, can I do market research?

Small businesses can leverage online polls and surveys to conduct market research at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

This enables them to gather insights into their target audience, identify market trends, and stay ahead of the competition.

By conducting market research, small businesses can make informed decisions about their products, services, and marketing strategies, resulting in increased sales and revenue.

Will surveys slow down my website?

If you choose the wrong tool, yes! Many major quiz and questionnaire tools download large scripts and make multiple un-cachable requests.

Asklayer was designed with performance in mind. We make a minimal number of requests and the entire script is smaller than one normal image. On average we are 3x faster than our competitors.

Asklayer is loaded using a ‘deferred’ tag – that means your entire site loads and becomes interactive before Asklayer is executed. Asklayer is one of the few tools that can’t slow your site down.

Do I need programming skills to use Asklayer?

No programming or coding skills are needed to work with our quiz and questionnaire builder. Everything can be handled with an easy point-and-click interface. It only takes moments to learn.

Will Asklayer hurt my SEO?

Asklayer is designed to be fast and unintrusive! Smaller than a single image, our script loads ‘deferred’ meaning your full website loads first and becomes interactive before Asklayer loads. With this design and loading strategy, we will never impact your SEO.

Can I use Asklayer on client websites?

Sure you can! We actively encourage it. The direct-signup version of Asklayer doesn’t limit the number of domains you can use it on. Spread your limit over as many clients and domains as you like.

For customers using our Shopify or Wix applications, you will be limited to a single domain. This is not a decision we made, but rather a result of those platform’s restrictions.

Is Asklayer GDPR-compliant?

Asklayer is GDPR compliant by default. Disabling the consent checkbox in forms will make it non-compliant.

Why should I choose Asklayer over other services?

Asklayer was designed and built by conversion optimization experts with 10+ years of experience building brands. It’s got all the features you need and nothing useless weighing it down.

Some headline features that set us apart from our competitors:

  • Easy to use no-code builder that allows full customization.
  • True mobile responsive widgets.
  • Self-correcting email forms.
  • Great reporting and analysis features.
  • Full data export ability. Own your data.
  • Lightweight script that won’t slow your site down.
  • Branching logic to jump between questions.
  • Pro features such as randomization, NPS, CSAT scoring and much more.
