How Cacao solves review analytics

From scattered Google reviews to clear operational priorities

Cacao is built around the workflow multi-location teams actually need: see the full network, filter to the right scope, detect locations that need attention, and generate reports that explain why customers are complaining.

Step 1

See review performance across every location

Cacao gives corporate teams a complete view of Google review performance across the entire location network. Teams can compare locations from one dashboard instead of opening hundreds of Google Business Profiles one by one.

View every connected location in one Google reviews dashboard.
Compare total reviews, average rating, positive reviews, negative reviews, and negative review percentage.
Use one source of truth for network-level review performance.

Step 2

Filter the network by time, location, or group

Teams can zoom from the full organization into the exact scope they need: the last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 30 days, a custom date range, one location, multiple locations, or a group created inside Cacao.

Create groups from any set of locations inside Cacao.
Use groups for regions, countries, cities, franchise groups, business units, or operating zones.
Compare performance without rebuilding spreadsheets for every regional question.

Step 3

Detect which locations need attention

Cacao helps teams spot locations with a high percentage of negative reviews, weaker ratings, unanswered reviews, or slow response times so small issues can be addressed before they become network-wide problems.

Sort locations by negative review percentage and other performance signals.
Prioritize branches, stores, or franchise groups that need support.
Give teams a clear way to focus on the locations that matter most.

Step 4

Understand why customers are complaining

Cacao generates reports that go beyond the numbers. Teams can analyze negative reviews, discover recurring issues, review examples, and use AI insights to understand what is impacting customer satisfaction.

Generate overview, negative review, location, and custom reports.
Compare organization, custom-group, and location results across periods.
Export data to Excel when the team needs deeper internal analysis.

AI review analytics

Detect recurring topics, sentiment, and trends automatically

Cacao analyzes Google review text so teams can understand the reasons behind rating changes. Instead of reading thousands of comments, teams can see which topics are growing, where negative sentiment is concentrated, and how issues change compared with the previous month and year over year. Analytics can identify multiple topics in a review. For individual Google reviews below 4 stars, the alert workflow separately selects one customer-defined category and emails its configured recipient with the review and location information.

Built for distributed teams

Give each team the analytics they own

Review analytics only works at scale when access follows responsibility. Cacao lets corporate users analyze the full organization while regional, franchise, and local users see the locations or groups assigned to them.

Profile context

Connect review analytics with Google Business Profile health

Cacao review analytics focuses on Google reviews, but teams also need to understand the broader health of each Google Business Profile. Cacao’s explainable 0–100 Health Score adds adjacent location-level context from review velocity, profile completeness, and year-over-year Google Business Profile interactions.
