Citing Survey Monkey, I think, depends on its use. If you used Survey Monkey to collect the data, then I think you cite it generally based on its main page (at least, that's how I'm doing it in an article I'm currently writing which uses data collected using Survey Monkey). If you used it as a source for some description about how to use online methods to collect data or known problems or benefits of using online methods to collect data, then I think you cite the specific page that describes that information, just like citing any other web page that has citable information on it.
In both cases a URL will be included and the company is the author so those techniques as described in the APA Manual should do the trick.
