Review volume trends
The monthly bar graph in the reputation dashboard gives you a historical view of review acquisition. Tracking this over time helps you:- Correlate review volume spikes with specific campaigns or promotions — for example, a post-service SMS review request sent to a batch of recent customers.
- Identify periods of low review acquisition and trigger a new request campaign to rebuild momentum.
- Benchmark your current volume against previous months to assess whether your review generation strategy is scaling with your business.
Average rating tracking
Your average star rating is one of the most visible indicators of business health in local search. HoopAI displays your current average rating at the top of the reputation dashboard and tracks it over time so you can see whether your rating is improving, stable, or declining. A few things to keep in mind:- A single batch of negative reviews can significantly move your average if your total review count is low. Consistent, ongoing review generation creates a larger base that is more resilient to occasional negative feedback.
- Your average rating affects your visibility in Google Maps and local search results. Businesses with ratings above 4.0 generally appear more prominently in map pack results than those below.
Sentiment analysis
The sentiment section provides a qualitative overlay on top of raw review counts. Sentiment is calculated by analyzing the language in review text and classifying reviews as positive, neutral, or negative. Use sentiment data to:- Identify recurring themes in negative reviews (such as specific service issues or staff interactions) that may not be obvious from star ratings alone.
- Spot early warning signs of a service quality problem before it shows up as a drop in average rating.
- Validate that positive reviews are reflecting the specific attributes — responsiveness, expertise, value — that matter most to your brand.
Review request performance (invite trends)
The invite trends chart shows how many review requests you have sent over time and through which channels (SMS or email). Compare this against your received review volume to calculate your request-to-review conversion rate. A typical review request conversion rate ranges from 5–20%, depending on how the request is timed and worded. Key factors that affect conversion:- Timing — review requests sent shortly after a completed service or positive interaction convert at higher rates than those sent days or weeks later.
- Personalization — requests that reference the specific service or interaction feel more relevant than generic asks.
- Channel — SMS requests tend to have higher open and response rates than email for most service businesses.
