Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Collect reviews
Gather reviews from wherever they live. Your site, marketplaces, app stores, social. The more varied the sources, the fuller the picture.
Step 2: Extract repeated phrases
Have AI surface the words and phrases customers use again and again. Their language often converts better than yours.
Here are customer reviews:
[paste reviews]
Extract the words and phrases customers repeat most often, both positive and negative. Show me the actual language they use, not a paraphrase.
Step 3: Find complaints
Ask AI to group the criticisms and frustrations so you see real objections and product gaps to address.
Group the complaints and frustrations in these reviews by theme, ranked by how often they appear. Note which are about the product, the experience, or expectations.
Step 4: Find praised benefits
Have AI identify what customers love most, the benefits and moments that delight them, which become your strongest selling points.
List the benefits and moments customers praise most. For each, note a real quote I could adapt as social proof or copy.
Step 5: Identify objections
Ask AI to surface hesitations and doubts customers mention, even in positive reviews, so your marketing can preempt them.
Step 6: Create marketing angles
Have AI turn the insights into headlines, hooks, and content ideas grounded in real customer language. Verify the patterns are representative before building campaigns on them.
Based on the praised benefits, complaints, and objections, suggest 5 marketing angles: headlines or hooks that use customer language and address real objections. Note which insight each is based on.
Common Mistakes
Cherry-picking one review. Look for patterns across many. A single complaint or rave isn’t a trend.
Paraphrasing away the gold. Keep the customer’s actual words. Their phrasing is what makes copy resonate.
Ignoring the complaints. Criticism reveals objections and product gaps. Address them in copy instead of hiding from them.
