Frequently Asked Questions

When should I send this feedback form?

Best practice is to send the feedback form 2-7 days after delivering the final images. This gives clients enough time to review their photos while the experience is still fresh.

Can I customize the rating categories?

Yes, all star rating categories are customizable. You can add specific categories for your niche, such as 'Retouching Quality' for portrait photographers or 'Coverage Completeness' for event photographers.

How are the ratings calculated?

The form automatically calculates an overall score based on individual ratings. You can see both detailed category scores and an aggregate average in the summary section.

Can I use this for different session types?

Yes, the form adapts based on the selected session type. Questions and rating categories can be conditionally shown for portraits, events, commercial work, etc.

How can I encourage clients to leave reviews?

The form includes an option for clients to consent to using their feedback as a testimonial. You can also offer incentives like discounts on future sessions for completed surveys.
