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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Compare, act, check

    Compare locations within their peer group, give rising issues an owner, and watch whether they fall.
