Quiz Audit

Optimize quiz funnels for maximum completion and conversion.

Process

Step 1: Analyze Current Question Flow

Map the Quiz:

• Total number of questions
• Question types (multiple choice, slider, text)
• Time to complete
• Current completion rate
• Drop-off by question

Step 2: Check First Question

First Question Rules (Jason K):

The first question is the MOST important. It must:

• Drive curiosity (not just qualify)
• Be easy to answer
• Create psychological buy-in
• NOT be "Are you male or female?" (boring, seen 1000x)

Good First Questions:

• "Do you drink coffee?" (curiosity: what does coffee have to do with this?)
• "Have you tried [common solution] before?" (validates their journey)
• Something unexpected that relates to the offer

Bad First Questions:

• Gender selection (no curiosity)
• Age brackets (feels like a form)
• Location (administrative feel)

Step 3: Evaluate Question Pacing

Rhythm Check: Questions should build psychological momentum.

Yes Rhythm Strategy: Design questions to get "yes" or positive responses:

• Q1: Yes → Q2: Yes → Q3: Yes → Q4: Yes
• NOT: Q1: Yes → Q2: No → Q3: No → Q4: ???

Question Reframing:

Length Rules:

• Keep questions SHORT
• If they take long to read, they won't complete
• Mobile users especially need brevity

Step 4: Identify Dropout Points

Analyze Drop-offs:

• Which question has highest abandonment?
• Why might people leave there?
• Is the question too personal? Too long? Confusing?

Common Dropout Causes:

• Question breaks the "yes" rhythm
• Question feels invasive
• Question is confusing
• Progress feels slow
• Fatigue from length

Step 5: Output Optimized Sequence

Quiz Psychology (Jason K)

Why Quizzes Work:

• Low bounce rates (engagement)
• Builds investment through micro-commitments
• Feels personalized
• Lower perceived friction than forms

Quiz as Advertorial: Use quiz to hit same points as advertorial:

• Pain point acknowledgment
• Why prior solutions failed (not your fault)
• Unique mechanism tease
• Scarcity/urgency
• CTA

Never Capture Email Mid-Quiz:

• Let them complete for the "result"
• Capture AFTER they're invested
• Higher quality leads
