Facebook surveys are a great way to gather feedback, conduct polls, or engage your audience. Whether you’re using Facebook for personal, business, or community purposes, there are multiple ways to create a survey. This guide will walk you through three easy methods to create a survey on Facebook.
1. Create a Facebook Poll in a Group
Facebook allows you to create polls within Facebook Groups, making it easy to get responses from members.
Steps to Create a Poll in a Facebook Group:
- Open Facebook and go to the Group where you want to create the survey.
- Click on the “Write something…” box to create a new post.
- Select “Poll” from the options (click the three dots (•••) if you don’t see it).
- Enter your question in the text box.
- Add multiple answer options by clicking “Add Option”.
- (Optional) Toggle settings to allow users to add their own answer choices or select multiple answers.
- Click “Post” to publish the survey.
📌 Note: Facebook only allows polls in Groups and Events—you can’t create them on personal profiles or business pages.
2. Use Facebook Stories for Quick Surveys
If you want a quick and interactive way to create a survey, Facebook Stories allow you to add a poll sticker to ask questions.
Steps to Create a Poll in Facebook Stories:
- Open the Facebook app and tap “Create Story”.
- Select an image or background (or take a new photo).
- Tap the sticker icon (square smiley face).
- Select “Poll” and enter your question.
- By default, the poll provides “Yes” and “No” options, but you can edit them.
- Adjust the size and position of the poll sticker on your Story.
- Tap “Share to Story” to post it.
📌 Tip: Responses are visible in Story insights, and you can engage with participants directly.
3. Use a Third-Party Survey Tool & Share on Facebook
If you need a detailed survey with more response types (e.g., multiple-choice, open-ended questions, or rating scales), use third-party survey tools like:
✔ Google Forms
✔ SurveyMonkey
✔ Typeform
Steps to Create a Survey & Share It on Facebook:
- Go to a survey tool like Google Forms and create a new form.
- Add your survey questions (multiple-choice, text responses, or ratings).
- Customize the design and settings.
- Copy the survey link.
- Go to Facebook and paste the link in a post, group, or story.
- Add a short description asking people to participate.
📌 Tip: Use Facebook Ads to reach a larger audience for your survey.
