Review analytics vs social listening
Review analytics vs social listening: experience versus conversation.
Social listening tracks what people say about your brand in public conversation. Review analytics tracks what customers say about their actual experience at your stores and in your app. They answer different questions; here is where each fits.

The problem
What gets in the way
Conversation mistaken for experience
Social spikes reflect news and campaigns, not what happened in stores.
Location blind spots
Social posts rarely say which store; reviews always do.
Duplicate spending
Teams buy social tools to answer questions reviews already answer.
How it works
From every review to the next step
Every location's reviews
Falcon collects the public Google Maps reviews of each location, and your app's Google Play reviews if you have one.
Classified your way
Each review is sorted into a taxonomy built from your own reviews, with sentiment for each mention and the words that support it.
Compare, act, check
Compare locations within their peer group, give rising issues an owner, and watch whether they fall.
What you get
What your team gets
What customers talk about
Themes, sub-themes and specific issues ranked by volume with their sentiment mix.

Where it is slipping
Negative share by topic and month, with small samples flagged.
