9/10

Evidence

What AppFolio, Inc. is doing well

AppFolio, Inc. references a named customer satisfaction metric in public materials and supports it with visible CX programme language. This is the combination that separates world-class operators from companies that only talk about customers.

Customer-focused language runs consistently across website and investor materials, signalling that customer outcomes are treated as a strategic priority rather than a marketing line.

What is missing

A specific, prominently-cited score figure would move the metric from 'mentioned' to 'owned'. Publishing the current value — with a comparison to prior periods — is the single highest-leverage step remaining.

A named closed-loop description (how feedback is routed, reviewed and acted on) would strengthen the CX programme evidence from credible to definitive.

Analyst implication: AppFolio, Inc. already operates at a world-class level for public customer-centricity. One or two targeted additions — a published score value, or a named closed-loop feedback process — would move it into leadership territory.

How AppFolio, Inc. could improve its ranking

Publish the current score figure prominently (investor deck, About Us page, or annual report) with a year-on-year comparison. Moving from 'we measure NPS' to 'our NPS is X, up Y points' is the last major signal gap.

Add a short description of the closed-loop process: cadence, who reviews, and one example of change made in response. This converts programme evidence from implied to demonstrated.

Recommended copy · About Us page · Net Promoter Score version

Listening to our customers' voice: We regularly gather customer feedback to understand what is working well, where improvements can be made, and how we can deliver a stronger experience. We measure customer loyalty through structured feedback methods, including the Net Promoter Score (NPS), as well as operational and quality indicators. We use this feedback to drive continuous improvement, strengthening our long-term customer relationships.

💡 Why this improves your score: Publishing this on the About Us page would move AppFolio, Inc. from T3a (NPS named in PDFs) to T3b (NPS visible on a public web page) — worth +1 point. If you add the actual score, that's T3c and worth +2 points total. Only ~3% of public companies do this. See full scoring methodology →
