What is a Brand Performance survey?

Where brand tracking monitors visibility, Brand Performance assesses credibility, how well your brand meets its value props. Respondents score specific attributes (e.g., Ease of Use, Customer Support, Innovation) and explain their ratings. The outcome is a strengths-and-weaknesses blueprint your teams can act on sprint by sprint.

Purpose & Strategic Value

1. Product Roadmap Focus – Prioritize fixes or enhancements that close the biggest perception gaps.
2. Messaging Precision – Double-down on attributes where you outrank competitors; reposition those where you lag.
3. Retention Insurance – Identify whether perceived value erodes before renewal dates, enabling proactive saves.
4. Competitive Benchmarking – Overlay your scores with category averages to frame investor and board discussions.
