How leading product companies use continuous user feedback to power business decisions

published on 21 October 2023

Product Led Growth (PLG) practices have become widely adopted in B2C and now in B2B. Streamlined on-boarding flows, feature nudges, guided product tours, in-app chat support and more are getting widely adopted to drive a superior product experience for customers without human intervention.

One of the key areas where PLG is now expanding is in leveraging the product itself as major source of continuous, high-quality user feedback. Leading product companies like Google, PayTm, Figma, Dropbox, Webflow and more embed perfectly timed micro-surveys in their critical customer journeys. The user responses to these micro-surveys create a constant stream of real-time data, that provide key business insights.

Product Analytics tools like Mixpanel and Amplitude have been extensively used to track events through the user journey and derive quantitative insights. In-app micro-survey solutions can leverage the same events to capture feedback directly from users through well-timed micro-surveys. This data helps discover the actual user intent behind their actions in the product.

The continuous stream of user feedback can be leveraged to answer key business questions swiftly. E.g - which feature to build next, how to improve user retention, do we need to lower our prices, why are users dropping off and more...

Below are some examples of how leading product companies leverage in-app micro-surveys to stay close to user sentiment in real-time.
