Go to the Survey app. Type in “survey” on the search bar on the upper portion of the web page. Check the results that drop down if there’s a Survey application there. If not, click “See more results” at the bottom. On the new page, select “Apps” from the left panel to filter all results to show only applications. The Survey app will appear at the top of the filtered search result. Select it from the list to go to the Survey maker application.

Start making your survey. Click the “Get Started” button you see on the welcome page of the app to go to the first step and begin creating your Facebook survey.


Configure your survey. The first step in creating your very own survey is by putting some basic details about it such as:

Survey Title—Enter a short title about your survey. Make it witty, like “Hey, car lovers! We want your thoughts,” to help catch the attention of readers and increase the chance of them answering your question.

Survey Language—Click the drop-down list and select the language you’d like your survey to be in.


Description—Type in a short description about your survey on the text box provided. Though there’s no limit on the number of characters to use, it’s recommended to use a short description that can be quickly read by people.
