Learn How Customer Satisfaction Drives Web Effectiveness
Customer satisfaction is a valuable corporate asset and managing the satisfaction with the website experience is becoming ever more critical to building strong customer relationships.However, not enough companies take a scientific, predictive approach to measuring customer satisfaction online. Many companies deploy surveys to measure customer satisfaction on their websites, but few use a precise, reliable and predictive methodology that gives them true insight into who’s coming to their website, what their needs and expectations are, and how well the website addresses them. When companies employ an overly simple, unscientific approach, many end up with data that’s not accurate or actionable.
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) is different. The ACSI methodology is a measurement system that provides a rigorous scientific foundation and proven track record to quantify the value of customer satisfaction to your organization, enabling you to make sound, informed, strategic business decisions -- about your website and your business.
Our products incorporate web-based survey technology, the proven ACSI methodology that links customer satisfaction to financial results and analytical support from our Satisfaction Research Analysts and Usability Auditors that allow companies to:

Specific questions about the website experience for actionable intelligence
Our survey models include a broad range of elements that drive satisfaction on the web – including navigation, site performance, look and feel.. To pinpoint specific areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, we ask several questions for each element, resulting in more accurate answers.
Our model questions incorporate a 10-point radio button scale for greater differentiation of responses. With this approach, you receive specific data for meaningful segmentation analysis to guide you in making web changes and strategic business decisions.
Our survey models have been developed by market research experts and tested with more than 34 million responses. Our ability to accurately assess satisfaction and its direct relationship on future behavior has been proven across more than 200 companies and 22 industries.

Brief, quick-to-answer surveys that encourage broader participation
Our surveys typically take just 2-3 minutes to complete, resulting in a high completion rate and a more representative sample of respondents than many other surveys. Our surveys are presented randomly during a customer’s web session subject to strategic parameters that qualify respondents. We present surveys continuously, so you get current and continuously-updated data and can track trends over time.

Surveys that address how satisfaction directly influences your customers’ behavior
Thanks to the proven ACSI methodology, our surveys provide exact data and insights into how satisfaction with specific elements of the web experience drives behavior: future purchases, referrals, future visits, selection as first resource, etc. The ACSI methodology uses a complex algorithm to calculate the relationships between elements, overall satisfaction and future behaviors. This yields a reliable scientific projection of the financial implications of improving satisfaction. Armed with this information, you can build a sound business case for your web management initiatives based on valid forecasts.

Satisfaction Research Analysts (SRAs) that interpret the data for you.
Your Satisfaction Research Analyst (SRA) acts as an extension of your research team. The SRA will help you leverage the ACSI methodology by identifying the areas for improvement that will help you achieve your website business objectives.
