  • Publication number: 20180040002
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards methods and systems for administering an electronic survey to a respondent via a client device based on geolocation information associated with the client device. For example, the systems and methods include associating a geographic location with an electronic survey. The systems and methods further allow for receiving a geolocation information associated with a respondent's client device. Based on the geolocation information corresponding to the geographic location associated with the electronic survey, the systems and methods determine to provide the respondent's client device with an electronic survey. Accordingly, the systems and methods can provide electronic surveys and electronic survey questions based on a physical location of a respondent.
