I have been running a survey at ProfileDoctor.com for a while now and wanted to share some of the results. By no means scientific, I was attempting to gauge what types of value-added services consumers were hungry for and where their pain points are. the next survey will shed additional light on customer satisfaction and brand awareness.

30% spent more than 30 minutes writing their ad
70% said their ads were not attracting the right kind of people

When asked what they would like to change about your online dating experience, people told us:

9.4% - I wish my ad was viewed more often
28.2% - More emails from people I’m interested in
5.9% - Less emails from people I’m not interested in
7.1% - I’d like to go on more dates
42% - All of the above

88.4% are interested in having online dating experts review their profile.

30% would pay $50 for Profile Writing services where they would answer questions online and expect a written personal ad essay in 72 hours.

100% of the people wanted to get off of their dating site(s) as quickly as possible.
