Customer Satisfaction Research

Brandspeak provides B2C and B2B customer satisfaction research that helps organisations understand how customers experience their service and how that experience affects loyalty, retention and positive word-of-mouth.

From one-off customer satisfaction surveys to ongoing satisfaction and loyalty programmes, we combine benchmark metrics like CSAT and NPS with deeper diagnostics into what's actually driving the numbers.

Whether the experience happens online, in branch, over the phone or anywhere else, we measure it consistently and turn the results into a clear set of priorities for action.

Why Brandspeak for Customer Satisfaction Research

Satisfaction scores like CSAT and NPS tell you whether performance is improving or declining, and give a clear, comparable benchmark to track over time, but on their own they don't show where in the customer experience the issues actually lie.

Where clients want to go further, diagnostics can explore the underlying causes behind the numbers, drawing on qualitative and quantitative techniques and social media listening as needed to understand what's actually driving satisfaction and loyalty.

The output is a clear view of what's driving satisfaction, the actions needed to address issues where diagnostics are used, and the benchmarks to monitor improvement over time, across both digital and non-digital environments.

The Benefits of Customer Satisfaction Research

By undertaking customer satisfaction research your organisation can:

Create Strong Satisfaction and Loyalty Benchmarks

Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) and Net Promoter Scores (NPS) provide a clear, quantitative baseline for overall satisfaction and loyalty. These metrics enable organisations to benchmark performance, track changes over time, spot emerging issues and assess whether experience improvements are delivering commercial impact.

Pinpoint Touchpoints Depressing Satisfaction

Customer satisfaction research identifies the issues that depress satisfaction and weaken competitiveness, acquisition or retention. By clarifying the exact nature and commercial impact of these problems, it gives organisations the direction needed to prioritise changes that drive meaningful improvement.

Find Experience Elements That Matter Most

Uncover what customers genuinely value and which elements of the experience carry the greatest influence on satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy. This enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about where investment should be focused to maximise commercial return and strengthen overall experience performance.

Plan More Effectively

It strengthens future planning by clearly identifying the key satisfaction and loyalty drivers across different audiences. Understanding how expectations differ enables organisations to tailor experience strategies, product design and service delivery to the needs of each segment, improving long-term loyalty and competitive resilience.

Customer Satisfaction Research Services

Brandspeak delivers customer satisfaction research that diagnoses experience issues, evaluates touchpoints and identifies the actions required to increase satisfaction, loyalty and competitive strength across digital and non-digital journeys, beginning with core CSAT and/or NPS measurement.

We identify the specific touchpoints and issues responsible for depressing satisfaction levels. This includes assessing the impact of those issues on purchase and loyalty, and determining the solutions needed to resolve them within customer expectations and operational constraints. These diagnostics build on initial CSAT or NPS findings to target the areas that matter most.

We conduct online surveys, phone interviews and intercepts to measure overall satisfaction and loyalty. Tracking core metrics over time reveals how customers think you're performing, how satisfaction is changing and which improvements create meaningful uplift.

Using auto-ethnography, accompanied shops, web-assisted surfs and depth interviews, we explore customer experience in detail. This provides rich, contextualised understanding of behaviours, expectations and pain points, helping explain movements in CSAT or NPS and supporting more confident experience improvement planning.

Client Feedback

We worked with Brandspeak on a brand awareness project and we were extremely pleased with the quality of service and the process. They understood the complexity of the briefs and asked plenty of questions to make sure they fully understand the objectives. They interacted with all levels of people in our business and understood the differences within the market and suggested ways to tie the research together so it was still comparable. The results were delivered with easy to digest summaries that could be used across the business. We would highly recommend using them.

They are great quality for money, help niche sectors and present their findings in an understanding manner. They have provided a brand review, market review post-covid to ensure we are still up to date, along with two very valuable website reviews. Working with them for qualitative and quantities research has a been fantastic for us. Thank you for all your help!

From their initial proposal they displayed an understanding of financial services and a clarity of thinking that made them stand out. Since then they have consistently delivered to demanding timescales. But what really sets them apart are their actionable and business focused recommendations which give them the credibility to influence senior internal stakeholders. I have really enjoyed working with them and look forward to doing so again.
