About Online Reviews with Qualtrics

When we consider how to better our businesses, whether by perfecting a product or a customer experience, it’s important to meet customers wherever they are. Online reviews can provide us a lot of insight into how people experience our companies and services. With Qualtrics, one of the best ways to dive deep into those reviews is using a Reputation Management project.

Reputation Management projects help you integrate your current feedback programs and reports with review data from all around the web. Create dashboards for your stakeholders, or action requests with a series of automated workflows.

Types of Reputation Management Projects

Reputation Management projects can be created in the catalog, just like any other project. Once you’ve given your project a name and folder, you’ll be asked to pick from 3 different types. We’ll walk you through the benefits of each type and when to use it.

Qtip: Users who want to create these projects must have the permission Create Reputation Management Project. A Brand Administrator has to enable this permission for the user. See also Extensions Permissions for connecting specific apps.

Connect to Google Places

Tile says Connect to Google Places

If you have a Google Business account, then we highly recommend using this option. Not only does this solution let you pull Google Reviews into Qualtrics for dynamic reporting and workflows, but you can respond to your reviews from right inside Qualtrics dashboards!

For detailed steps, see Connecting to Google Places.

Search the Web

Tile says Search the web

If you don’t have an account on any of the major review sites, it’s no problem. With this solution, Qualtrics will search the web for reviews associated with your business. That way you can pull in Facebook, Google Reviews, TripAdvisor, and more, all into one place!

For detailed steps, see Searching the Web for Reviews.

Add Review Sources

Tile says Add review sources

Connect directly to apps like Facebook, Brandwatch, or ReviewTrackers.

For detailed steps, see Adding Reviews from Sources.

Qtip: For Google Business, we recommend using Google places.

Taking Action on Online Reviews

Once you’ve created a Reputation Management project, you can take action on the insights you’ve collected with workflows. Workflows allow you to automate different tasks in and outside of Qualtrics, from the creation of a ticket to the distribution of an email.

To learn more, see Workflows in Online Reputation Management.

Renaming and Deleting Reputation Management Projects

When you go to the Projects page, click the 3 dots menu next to a project to either rename it or delete it.

3 dots menu on projects page opened, rename and delete options highlighted

  • Rename project: Rename the project.
  • Delete project: Delete the project. Once a Reputation Management project is deleted, it cannot be retrieved, so be absolutely sure before you do this!

Sharing Reputation Management Projects

You can collaborate on these projects with other users in your license.

    searching a name in the new window that appears
  5. Determine what level of access the user should have:
    Selecting level of access from dropdown

    • Admin access: The user can edit the project. This is the same level of access you have as the creator of the project, meaning users with this permission can connect or disconnect apps, modify the data, or delete the project altogether.
    • Read and reply access: The user can view the data and use online reviews widgets in associated dashboards. The user will not be able to edit the project’s apps or data, rename it, delete it, or invite others to collaborate on it.
  6. When you’re finished adding collaborators, click Save.
Qtip: If Reputation Management data is included on the dashboard but the project hasn’t been shared with a user, they will only see the reviews, and won’t be able to reply on online reviews widgets.
