CUSTOMER FEEDBACK RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find patterns in customer feedback without mistaking a sample for the whole story.

For a business with a permitted research purpose, organize a limited set of public reviews into possible themes, motivations, and service opportunities. Keep source links and dates, avoid unnecessary reviewer identifiers, respect review-site terms, and treat each theme as a hypothesis rather than a representative finding. A researcher should inspect the underlying reviews and approve any marketing use, especially direct quotes or customer stories.

Keep in mind

Public reviews can be self-selected, biased, outdated, or associated with sensitive experiences.
