Long forms scare people away. Multi-step forms ask a few questions at a time, starting with easy ones, which often feels less demanding.
How they work
- Step 1: an easy, interesting question: “What do you need help with?” with options.
- Step 2: details: budget, timeline, location.
- Step 3: contact details: name and phone.
Once people answer the first step, they are more likely to finish.
Example: interior design
- Step 1: Which space? Kitchen / Full home / Office.
- Step 2: Size? 1 BHK / 2 BHK / 3 BHK+. Timeline? This month / 1–3 months / Later.
- Step 3: Name, phone, city.
