Required vs. Optional Form Fields

Learn how to balance your data collection needs with user experience to maximize quiz completion rates.

Every "Required" field you add to your lead capture form adds friction. If a user feels that a quiz is asking for too much sensitive information (like a mandatory phone number), they are likely to drop off right before seeing their results.

To maintain a high conversion rate, add maximum of 2-3 required fields. Typically, these should be:

  1. Name

  2. Email Address

  • Toggle ON (Required): Use this only for the data points you absolutely need to identify the lead or send them their results.

  • Toggle OFF (Optional): Use this for secondary information like Phone Numbers or Company Names.

By marking a field as optional, you won't scare away "top-of-funnel" leads. However, your highly motivated leads—those most likely to buy from you—will often provide that extra information anyway. This allows you to prioritize your follow-ups without sacrificing total lead volume.
