Increase response rate?

Curious if anyone has any tips on how to increase engagement and response rate with surveys via Microsoft Forms? I've previously used Typeform and it's definitely catchy and a dynamic experience ...

You might want to emphasize that the survey only takes a few minutes when asking your recipients to participate. Indicating the approximate completion time at the top of the survey (by adding captions on Forms) can also be effective. If your survey consists of multiple pages, consider consolidating it into a single page. This allows recipients to know where they are in the process and reassures them that they will be finished soon.

This is very insightful. I'm primarily thinking about market research / prospecting. My survey is less than 3 minutes and yet the drop off is relatively high.
(They don't get paid to complete and they are prospective buyers)
