A CES reflects how much effort a customer has to put in to use a product or service, find the information they need, or get an issue resolved.

CES surveys typically ask customers to rate the ease of their experience on a numerical scale from 1 to 5.

Averaging the collected answers shows how much effort a process requires of customers. A high CES means your company provides an effortless experience for customers. A low CES means people find your processes arduous or your customer support ineffective. In that case, make improvements, or you risk losing customers and facing a high churn rate.
