Best Practices for Creating an Instagram Survey
Follow these tips when creating your survey to make it even more engaging and improve the quantity and quality of the results.
Make It Visual
Instagram is a visual medium. Use images and videos to make the survey fit into the medium. You can add images to the cover, to each question, and each answer.
Keep It Simple
Use short questions and simple answers whenever possible. Make sure you cover all the possible answers in each question and that you avoid overlapping answers.
Don’t Make It Too Long
Remember that the longer the survey the fewer responses you will get. We recommend asking between 5-15 questions depending on the scenario.
Make It Stand Out
Select a theme that stands out, and locate the survey in a prominent location (e.g. top of the fold, in a popup, etc).

FAQ
How do you do an Instagram survey?
You can’t do an Instagram survey because the app only allows polls, which are limited to one question. To create surveys with multiple questions and exportable data, you’ll need survey software like Opinion Stage’s survey maker. Our platform allows you to create a survey from scratch, from a template, or using the AI survey maker. You can also customize it to match your Instagram feed, add fun images, videos, and GIFs, and add a lead form to collect your follower’s contact information.
Why do people use Instagram surveys?
People use Instagram surveys to gather feedback and engage with their audience. However, it’s important to note that you can’t create surveys natively on Instagram. The app only has a poll option that’s limited to one question. If you’re looking to ask multiple questions and get deeper insights, Opinion Stage’s survey maker is a great choice. It offers advanced analytics, various question types, and it’s easy to share with your Instagram followers.
