How Did You Hear About Us Form

How Can the “How did you hear about us” Form Be Used?

“How did you hear about us” is the single most valuable question for teams that want to trim wasted ad spend and double‑down on channels that actually convert. By embedding this template on landing pages, post‑purchase screens, or support portals, you gain a high‑resolution picture of acquisition sources—without forcing visitors through a long survey.

Implementation in five quick steps

1. Download & Import the Template – Upload the JSON file under Forms › Import and adjust colors or fonts in minutes.

2. Enable Conditional Logic (Optional) – Use the Conditional Logic add‑on to reveal a follow‑up field when respondents choose Other.

3. Confirm Email Notifications – Create branded confirmations for the submitter and an internal alert for your marketing inbox using merge tags.

4. Add Optional Integrations – Sync answers to HubSpot, Mailchimp, or thousands of apps via Zapier with two clicks.

5. Publish & Share – Embed the short‑code on any page or send a direct public link from the Ninja Forms dashboard.

Note: To capture automatic UTM parameters alongside the user’s selection, activate the User  Analytics add‑on. If you don’t need granular tracking, simply remove that hidden field and the template works perfectly without it.
