Other solutions for making surveys on Facebook
What I have explained to you in the previous lines is the official system made available by the social network itself to carry out surveys on Facebook. It is a fairly comfortable and effective system and able to satisfy the most disparate needs. However, if you are looking for a different solution or if you want to do surveys on Facebook not only through the groups you are a member of but also through your profile or your fanpage, you can contact SurveyMonkey.
This is an online service that has a free plan, but with a limit of 100 responses per survey. If this is not enough, there are also several paid plans available to users that can meet the most diverse needs.
Alternatively, read my guide on how to create online surveys through which I have explained to you how to create surveys using Google Docs and the online service 99Pools. Of course, the function for taking surveys is undoubtedly much more convenient when attached directly to the social network, but the solutions in question can certainly come in handy. Please, give it at least a look.
