Understanding Survey Analytics

Every metric defined, per-question charts, and how to read the numbers.

The Analytics page

Open Analytics, pick a survey via Select survey, and choose a date range: Today, Last 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days. The Dashboard also shows store-wide totals, your most-answered surveys, and the latest responses at a glance.

Metrics explained

MetricMeaningWhat a bad number tells you
Total impressionsHow many times the survey was displayed.Low → targeting too narrow, or channel/embed off.
Response rateShare of impressions where the customer started answering.Low → first question or placement isn't compelling; try a reward or a better opening question.
Completion rateShare of impressions that ended in a completed survey.High responses but low completions → survey too long; cut questions.
Survey reachDistinct visitors who saw the survey (unique people, not views).
Close surveyHow many times (and what share) the survey was dismissed.High → placement or timing feels intrusive; add a delay or move the position.
Average completion timeAverage time from first interaction to completion.Long → questions are hard to parse; simplify wording.

Per-question charts

Below the metrics, every question gets its own breakdown:

  • Choice, rating, and NPS questions — switch between Bar, Pie, and Table views, with counts and percentages per option. Star Rating buckets 1–5, NPS buckets 0–10, and rating questions also show an average score.
  • Slider — a Line chart of the value distribution.
  • Like/Dislike — a grouped bar of likes vs. dislikes per option.
  • Ranked Choice — average rank per option plus the full rank distribution.
  • Text, email, date, and number questions — a searchable, paginated table of raw answers.

Data freshness

Individual responses appear in the Responses browser immediately. Aggregated analytics refresh every few minutes, and late-arriving events are back-filled for up to two days — so very recent numbers can shift slightly before settling. Don't compare today's partial numbers against a full past week.
