FAQ

Intake form questions

What should an interior design client questionnaire ask?

Ask about the property, the rooms, who uses the space, likes and dislikes, style examples, items that must stay, the level of service, the investment range, and the timeline.

How do I ask an interior design client about budget?

Ask for an investment range that includes furnishings, and give ranges to choose from. Clients answer a range more easily than an open question.

Is this template free to use?

Yes. Copy the questions, print the page, or save it as a PDF from your browser. No signup is needed. Change the wording so it matches your services.

How many intake questions should I ask?

Ask only what changes your next step. Most firms need 8 to 15 questions before a first call. Move anything you only need after the client signs to an onboarding form.

Can an AI agent ask these questions instead of a form?

Yes. In MadeAgentic you add the questions as qualification objectives. The website agent answers the visitor's questions from your approved content, asks your intake questions in conversation by voice or text, sends your team a summary, and can open your Calendly or Cal.com calendar for good-fit visitors. It does not answer phone calls, and the visitor picks the meeting time.
