They help you understand how different answers compare in a quick and clear way. \n\nWhether you are running a \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcategories\u002Fsurvey-forms\u002F\">survey\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>, quiz, or feedback form, turning your responses into a pie chart makes your data more useful.\n\n\u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\u002Fforms\u002F\">Google Forms\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong> does not have a direct pie chart builder, but it offers three easy ways to create pie charts from the responses you collect. \n\nIn this guide, you will learn all three methods, so you can choose the one that works best for you.\n\n## Top 3 Methods to Create Pie Charts For Google Form Responses\n\nFollow are the \u003Cstrong>3 best methods\u003C\u002Fstrong> to create pie charts for your Google Form Responses, they range from the simplest to most advanced: \n\n### Method 1: Use Google Forms Response Summary (Fastest Way)\nThis is the easiest and quickest way to see pie charts in Google Forms.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Here is how you do it:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n\n- Open your Google Form\n\n- Click the Responses tab at the top\n\n- Scroll down to see a summary of the answers\n\n\nGoogle Forms automatically generates pie charts for multiple choice, checkboxes, and dropdown questions. Even if your questions collect text-based answers, Google will still create basic charts based on repeated responses.\n\nThis method is great when you want a fast overview of your data without doing anything extra.\n\n\u003Cstrong>But there is a catch:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n\nYou cannot customize these pie charts. You cannot change the colors, labels, or chart size. So if you need more control, move on to Method 2.\n\n### Method 2: Use Google Sheets and the Chart Editor (More Control)\nThis method gives you more flexibility to design and customize your pie charts. It takes a few extra steps but is still beginner-friendly.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Here is how to do it:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n\n- Go to the Responses tab in your Google Form\n\n- Click the green Sheets icon to link your form to Google Sheets\n\n- Open the Sheet that stores your responses\n\n- Highlight the data you want to visualize\n\n- Click Insert > Chart\n\n- In the Chart Editor, change the chart type to Pie Chart\n\nYou can now customize your pie chart by adjusting labels, colors, and chart size. This method works best with numeric data or when you want more design options.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Important note:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n This method does not work well with free-text answers. If your form collects open-ended responses, Google Sheets may not group the data properly to form a pie chart.\n\n### Method 3: Use Google Data Studio (Now Called Looker Studio)\nIf you need full control, real-time dashboards, or shareable reports, this method is your best option.\n\n\u003Cstrong>Here is how to do it:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\n\n- Connect your Google Form to Google Sheets\n\n- Go to Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio)\n\n- Click Blank Report\n\n- Choose your Google Sheet as the data source\n\n- Use the toolbar to add a Pie Chart\n\n- Customize the chart style, filters, and layout\n\nThis method is great for teams, agencies, or professionals who need to present insights to clients or stakeholders. You can build interactive dashboards that update in real time.\n\n\u003Cstrong>But remember:\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nIt takes more time to learn, and you may need to understand a few data concepts to make the most of it.\n\n### Final Thoughts\nCreating \u003Cstrong>pie charts\u003C\u002Fstrong> from your Google Forms is easy once you know your options.\n\n- Use Google Forms Summary for speed\n\n- Use Google Sheets for more control\n\n- Use Looker Studio for advanced reports\n\nIf you are searching for the \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fwhy-formester-is-the-best-google-forms-alternative\u002F\">best Google Forms Alternative\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>, then check out \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"\u002F\">Formester\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

With tools like Formester which are extensively easy to use and make it possible to build effective online forms within minutes – user interactions and data collection activities have become significantly more convenient.\n\nWhen it comes to creating online forms, you can simplify a wide array of operations - especially collecting different types of data and organizing it. Consider a payment form for e-commerce purchase vs an event booking form – the type of data, user flow, and the subsequent integrations required would extensively vary for both cases.\n\nA comprehensive online form building tool enables you to cater to different business use-case requirements effectively. In this blog, we are going to discuss how you can create an impactful online form for your needs – step by step. That’s not all - we will also list out the most crucial tips you need to know for building effective forms.\n\n## Steps to Build Your Online Form Using Formester\n\nLet’s now begin with a stepwise guide to creating your online form. In our discussion, we will share the numerous touchpoints you need to know for [building your first form with Formester](\u002Fblog\u002Fbuilding-your-first-form-with-formester\u002F 'Build your first form with Formester') .\n\n### Step 1: Determine Your Data Collection Requirements\n\nFind out your objectives with the form or survey. What do you need to ask your users? What are the different types of data you aim to collect? Conceptualize your form design and form fields. Also, figure out if you want a standalone form to share via links or integrate it into your website as per your application requirements.\n\nRemember to keep it short, simple, and effective. Put yourself in the user’s or respondent’s shoes - think about why you would want to fill out this form or answer this survey, and optimize for a delightful user experience.\n\n### Step 2: Sign Up and Begin With the Form Heading\n\nIf you don’t have an account already - sign up to [Formester: Easy HTML form builder](\u002F 'Formester') and create your first form.\n\nBefore you structure your form, you need to give it a suitable form name and enter a few details:\n\n- **Redirect URL:** The site address where you want the respondents to land up after submitting your form.\n\n- **Email notifications:** The email addresses that you want to use for receiving submission notifications.\n\n- **Type of service:** Choose drag and drop to create your forms unless you’re just looking for backend services only and have your online form in place.\n\n![Form accepting details like form name, redirection url for creating your new form](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_a_form_form_details_9ade2bc82b.png 'Form accepting details like form name, redirection url for creating your new form')\n\n## Step 3: Choose Form Fields and Add Them to Your Form\n\nOnce you create a form and enter the form name along with other primary details – it’s now time to build exactly what your audience would be interacting with. Choose from a huge variety of form fields as per your requirements and objective with the form or survey.\n\nFor example - for building a lead generation form, you would need basic client details like their name, email address, contact details, business requirements, the industry they operate in, and more. Subsequently, you can choose from different form fields in terms of the type of data (text, multiple-choice, numerical, URL, email address, date, rating etc).\n\n![Form builder being used for quickly creating intake form with name, email and phone number fields](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_a_form_choose_form_fields_1ca3aee7eb.png 'Form builder being used for quickly creating intake form with name, email and phone number fields')\n\n## Step 4: Set up Each Form Field\n\nFormester’s no-code drag and drop form builder is not only comprehensive and simple to use, but also allows you to set up your form design as you like it to be. It’s a completely flexible dashboard that enables you to adjust the font style, font size, heading and sub-heading text, font weights, placeholder text and more.\n\n![Formester dashboard allowing font size, font weights, and headings to be adjusted](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_a_form_customise_font_and_heading_4bb6c98df8.png 'Formester dashboard allowing font size, font weights, and headings to be adjusted')\n\n## Step 5: Publish the Form and Get Shareable Link or Embed it to Your Website\n\nOnce you have finalized the form structure and created the form fields as per the use-case objectives, it’s now time to make it live. Note that you can either share the link to your standalone form or embed the form to your website. Choose among the available options and move forward with sharing and promoting the form proactively.\n\n![The form is published and the URL is copied](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_a_form_publishing_form_after_creation_d32679ae23.png 'The form is published and the URL is copied')\n\n## Summing Up\n\nFormester is a one-stop solution for building forms using an extensively easy, no-code interface.

It’s quick, direct, and cost-effective. But there’s one big problem: many survey invitations never make it to the inbox. \n\nThey **end up in spam**, and your audience never even sees them.\n\nThe good news is that you can fix this. With proper email authentication and a professional survey builder like **[Formester](\u002F)**, you can reach more people, get more opens, and collect more responses.\n\n## Why Email Deliverability Matters for Surveys\nIf your survey emails are not delivered, you lose responses and waste time. Poor deliverability leads to fewer insights and weaker data.\n\nHigh deliverability means your emails consistently reach the inbox, giving you a better chance of getting clicks and completed surveys. That’s why improving it should be your top priority.\n\n### Common Reasons Survey Invitations Land in Spam\nHere’s why many survey invitations fail to reach the inbox:\n\n- Weak or poor sender reputation.\n\n- Missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records.\n\n- Spam-triggering subject lines.\n\n- Too many images or too little text.\n\n- Sending from a free domain instead of your own.\n\n- Using an outdated email list full of inactive addresses.\n\n### Understanding Email Authentication\nThink of email authentication like an ID check. It proves the email is really from you.\n\n**The three main protocols are:**\n\n- SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Tells mail servers which IP addresses can send emails for your domain.\n\n- DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Adds a secure digital signature to verify your emails.\n\n- DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): Decides what to do if your email fails SPF or DKIM checks.\n\nWhen all three are set up correctly, you greatly increase your chances of landing in the inbox.\n\n### Top 5 Email Authentication Platforms\n### PowerDMARC – Best for High-Volume Formester Survey Campaigns\n**\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fpowerdmarc.com\">PowerDMARC\u003C\u002Fa>** delivers complete email authentication with DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, and MTA-STS, backed by AI-driven threat detection. \n\nIt’s ideal for Formester customers running large-scale feedback collection because it combines automated DNS record generation with easy-to-read reports.\n\n\nTrusted by over 2,000 global organizations, PowerDMARC makes compliance simple and keeps phishing attempts away from your audience. Pricing starts at $8\u002Fmonth, with enterprise features like unlimited domains and white-labeling.\n\n### Valimail – Fastest Path to DMARC Enforcement\nValimail’s automation makes DMARC enforcement up to four times faster than competitors, which is perfect for Formester users who need quick compliance. \n\nTheir IDEA platform removes DNS complexity and offers intelligent policy recommendations so you can focus on building surveys, not decoding email logs.\n\n### Red Sift OnDMARC – Complete, Integrated Protection\nRed Sift OnDMARC combines SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI management in one platform. Its dynamic SPF management removes the 10-DNS lookup limit, keeping survey delivery smooth even for complex setups.\n\nWith machine learning-powered analysis and partnerships with Cisco and Microsoft, it’s a top choice for enterprise-level Formester campaigns that need maximum security.\n\n### DMARC Report – Enterprise-Scale Compliance\nIf you run surveys for multiple brands or clients in Formester, DMARC Report’s enterprise tools help you stay compliant across all domains. Their API automation, detailed monitoring-to-enforcement guidance, and misconfiguration detection protect your campaigns from deliverability issues.\n\n### EasyDMARC – User-Friendly for Small and Mid-Sized Teams\nEasyDMARC is designed for teams who want strong authentication without a steep learning curve. \n\nIts Smart Alerting System, simple dashboards, and educational resources make it easy for Formester customers to set up and maintain protection.\n\n### Crafting High-Deliverability Survey Invitations\nOnce authentication is in place, your message matters too:\n\n- Write clear subject lines without spam words.\n\n- Personalize with the recipient’s name.\n\n- Keep your message short and clear.\n\n- Use a visible call-to-action button.\n\n- Make sure your design works on mobile.\n\n### How to Create a Detailed Survey in Seconds with AI\nYou don’t need hours to build a great survey. With Formester’s **[AI survey maker](\u002Fai-survey-generator\u002F)**, you can create a professional survey in just a few steps:\n\n- Type your topic or goal.\n\n- AI suggests relevant, high-quality questions.\n\n- Customize branding, colors, and wording.\n\n- Publish and share instantly.\n\nThis way, you can spend more time on results and less time on setup.\n\n### Additional Best Practices to Improve Response Rates\nTo boost participation:\n\n- Send emails when your audience is most active.\n\n- Segment your list for relevance.\n\n- Send polite reminders.\n\n- Offer small incentives.\n\n- Keep surveys short and easy to finish.\n\n### Tracking and Measuring Success\nWatch these key numbers:\n\n- Open Rate: Who opened your email.\n\n- Click-Through Rate: Who clicked your survey link.\n\n- Response Rate: Who completed the survey.\n\nUse reports from your email platform and authentication tool to improve each campaign.\n\n### Conclusion\nGetting survey invitations into inboxes is essential for better responses. With strong authentication, clear email copy, and AI-powered survey creation from Formester, you can run campaigns that deliver both reach and results.\n\nStart creating secure, high-deliverability surveys today with **[Formester](https:\u002F\u002Fapp.formester.com\u002Fusers\u002Fsign_up)**.\n\n\n","blog\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-to-get-more-survey-responses-with-email-authentication.md",{"text":217},{"title":237,"author":7,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":9,"coverImg":238,"coverImgAlt":239,"createdAt":240,"description":241,"featured":14,"jsonld":242,"keywords":243,"metaDescription":244,"metaImage":245,"metaTitle":246,"publishedAt":247,"slug":248,"updatedAt":249,"__hash__":250,"body":251,"id":252,"coverImgWidth":24,"coverImgHeight":25,"readingStats":253},"Top 10 Compliance Management Tools & Software for 2025","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FHow_to_Make_User_Research_Survey_7_4ba816382b.png","a blog post cover about best compliance management tools","2025-04-29T15:20:18.502Z","Explore top compliance software to manage audits, reduce risk, and follow rules easily.
