What is the ideal survey length for an online survey?

Ideally, an online survey should be no more than 15 minutes in length. Beyond 15 minutes, respondents get fatigued and are at risk of dropping out before completing the survey. This adds additional cost and time to the data collection process.

Define Your Objectives – Clearly establish the purpose and objectives of your survey.
Include an Introduction and Instructions – Provide a clear introduction at the beginning of the survey, explaining the purpose, importance, and estimated time for completion.
Ensure Anonymity and Confidentiality Assure respondents that their answers will remain confidential and anonymous.

Avoid Leading or Biased Questions – Frame questions in a neutral manner to avoid biasing the respondents’ answers.
Provide Response Options – Offer a variety of response options that cover the range of possible answers, including, “don’t know” or “prefer not to answer.”
Use Logical Flow and Organization – Organize your survey in a logical and coherent order.
Avoid Double-Barreled Questions – To ensure that your data is clear and insightful, be sure to avoid asking about two topics in a single question.
Make it Interesting – A mix of closed and open-ended question types can create a more interactive and enjoyable survey.
Keep Survey Length under 15 minutes – Survey length should be no longer than 15 minutes and, ideally, 12 minutes or less.
Test Your Survey – Before launching the survey, conduct a pilot test to identify any confusing or problematic questions.
