FAQ: Get all your market research and consumer insights questions answered

Online Reviews
What is Revuze online review data?

The Revuze data set consists of consumer insights based on verified buyers’ post-purchase data from actual product users who left a review post purchase.

How does Revuze collect online reviews?

Revuze’s unique technology aggregates online reviews from leading eCommerce sites from around the world including sites like: Amazon, Walmart, Target, CVS, Boots, Sephora, and hundreds of others.

Why isn’t social media data enough?

Social media data is complementary to online review data. Social data focuses more on high level trends like post interactions, comments, and hashtags. Online review data taps into a business’ consumer base to get unbiased data about the category, brand, product, and product features. This level of granularity is currently not something that is possible with social media and social listening. 

What’s the key difference between a consumer review and an opinion?

When consumers write a review, they tend to  touch upon several facets of the product including attribute-focused topics such as: quality, smell, usage, packaging, just to name a few. Consumer sentiment can then be calculated across each topic to better understand what is driving 5 star or even 1-2 star ratings.

Data Integrity
What are the various consumer review types, and how does Revuze manage them?

There are three main types of consumer reviews:

  1. Organic reviews from verified buyers
  2. Incentivized reviews, ie. when reviewers are incentivized e to write positive reviews.
  3. Syndicated reviews – an accepted practice in the field. These reviews are duplicates, and are removed from the data set by default, however customers have the option to include them.

Revuze Explorer showcases data from both organic and incentivized reviews, however customers have the ability to isolate each data set and drill down more thoroughly and with more granularity.

How does Revuze manage reviews in other languages?

All reviews are analyzed by the AI engine in the original language to preserve slang, other lingual nuances and context.

How does Revuze calculate consumer sentiment and create benchmarks?

Sentiment is calculated as the number of positive opinions divided by the sum of negative and positive opinions. Using this calculation, we can determine the sentiment for an entire category, a specific brand, or a single product. The benchmark is established using the full range of products within the category.

The Product
Does Revuze only provide quantitative data?

With Revuze consumers  gain access to both quantitative and qualitative data to better  understand what’s influencing brand or product sentiment scores. 

Does Revuze provide competitor data?

Yes! Since Revuze provides category level data, users can drill down and learn how consumers feel about competitors’ products, as well as their sentiment about the users own product. Users can easily identify emerging competitors who they may not have considered in the past and dive into competitors’ weaknesses to understand how to reposition their own product line.

Can users export the data from Revuze Explorer?

Absolutely! You can export the data to Excel or even to a PowerPoint presentation from the Revuze Explorer, that can easily be presented to stakeholders. Beyond the data, users can also export the reviews and opinions themselves.

How frequently does Revuze refresh the dashboard data?

Most customers refresh their data monthly, but others prefer to do it bi-weekly.

How many years of review data does Revuze provide to customers?

By default, all customers get two years worth of consumer insights from online reviews. This allows brands to delve into YoY trends and benchmarks. Additional data is available for a fee.

Can you integrate the data with your own BI system?

Of course. Revuze will send the data in DataBricks to help users integrate cleansed insights into an internal BI system. 

Does Revuze limit the number of users who can use the platform?

No, currently there are unlimited users for the platform.

How are topics defined?

The topics are not predefined, but are rather auto-generated by our unique generative AI technology. Using large language models and after years of training, the AI detects the topics in the context of the review and opinion.
