What we do

Research built for small business

Big companies test ideas before they spend. Now you can too, without hiring a research firm or learning survey software.

We write the questions

Tell us what you need to know. We turn it into a short, neutral survey that people actually finish.

We find the people

We put your questions to a research panel of US adults, or the group you choose, and count each person once. For your own customers, there are links and QR codes.

We tell you what it means

You get the numbers, the comments people wrote, and a plain-English summary of what we'd do next.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish

No research jargon and no software to learn.

Pick a package

Choose a survey or a poll, then tell us about your business and who you want to hear from. It takes about five minutes.

Today

Your survey goes live

Quick polls

Sometimes you only need one answer

A poll asks 1 to 3 quick questions, and people can see the results once they've voted. Run one in front of your market, put one on your own website, or re-run the same poll to track how answers change.

Our own research

We're building our own research too

MANDA is starting its own research program on how small businesses sell, price and lead, with a new focus each week and a new theme each month. It keeps our questions sharp, and the US Small Business Pulse report will come from it.

Tell us what you need to know

Pick a package, or tell us about your question and we'll suggest one. We'll reply by email.

So we contact you at a sensible time.

We use these details only to reply to you and set up your study. We don't add you to a mailing list.

Who answers the surveys?

People in the market you choose. We reach them with targeted ads, links and QR codes, and you can share the link with your own customers too.

Are the answers anonymous?

Yes, by default. People only leave their details if they choose to, and they can skip any question.

When do I pay?

Secure online checkout opens soon. For now, send the form and we'll confirm the details and the price with you by email before anything is charged.
