Learn Where Customers Really Come From With a Post-Purchase Survey
Ad platforms all claim the same sale, so your real attribution is a mess. This workflow sends a one-question 'how did you hear about us?' survey after each order and logs the answers to a sheet — the ground-truth channel data your dashboards can't give you.

Frequently asked questions
Will customers actually answer?
A single, friendly question right after a good purchase experience gets surprisingly high response rates — far better than a long survey. Adding a tiny incentive lifts it further.
How is this better than pixel attribution?
Pixels miss word-of-mouth, podcasts, and 'a friend told me' entirely — the channels that often drive your best customers. Self-report catches them.
