Review Intelligence Digest

Scrape reviews for your product and top competitors, then extract what actually matters for marketing: the exact language customers use, recurring pain points, proof points that convert, and objections to pre-empt.

Core principle: Your best marketing copy is already written — by your customers, in their reviews. This skill surfaces it.

When to Use

• "What are customers saying about us vs competitors?"
• "Find proof points and objections from our G2 reviews"
• "What language do our customers use to describe the problem we solve?"
• "Run a review audit for [client]"
• "What are [competitor]'s customers complaining about?"

Phase 0: Intake

1. Your product name + review page URLs (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot — any/all)
2. Competitor names + their review page URLs (1-3 competitors recommended)
3. What are you trying to learn? (Pick primary focus or do all):
   • Messaging mining — extract ICP language and proof points
   • Competitive displacement — find competitor pain points to exploit
   • Objection mapping — identify what's stopping people from buying/staying
   • Feature gaps — what do customers wish existed?
4. Time range: last 3 months (default), last 6 months, or all time?

Phase 1: Scrape Reviews

Run review-site-scraper for your product and each competitor:

# Your product
python3 skills/capabilities/review-site-scraper/scripts/scrape_reviews.py \
  --platform g2 \
  --url "<your_g2_url>" \
  --days 90 \
  --output json

# Competitor
python3 skills/capabilities/review-site-scraper/scripts/scrape_reviews.py \
  --platform g2 \
  --url "<competitor_g2_url>" \
  --days 90 \
  --output json

Repeat for Capterra and Trustpilot as needed.

Collect for each review: rating (1-5), title, body text, pros, cons, reviewer role/company (if available), date.

Phase 2: Categorize & Cluster

Analyze all reviews through these five lenses:

Lens 1: Proof Points (5-star reviews)

Extract specific outcomes and metrics customers mention:

• Time saved / speed improvements
• Revenue or pipeline impact
• Headcount equivalent replaced
• Process improvements
• Before/after comparisons

Flag reviews with numbers — these are the highest-value proof points.

Lens 2: Core Pain Language

What words and phrases do customers use to describe the problem they had before using the product? This is gold for cold email hooks and ad copy.

Patterns to extract:

• "Before [product], we were..."
• "We used to [manual process]..."
• "The biggest frustration was..."
• "We couldn't [thing] until..."

Lens 3: Objection Mapping (3-4 star reviews, negative cons)

What do customers wish was different? What almost stopped them from buying?

• Price/value concerns
• Onboarding friction
• Missing features
• Integration issues
• Support quality

Group by theme. Count frequency.

Lens 4: Competitive Displacement Signals (competitor reviews)

In competitor reviews, look for:

• Specific pain points your product doesn't have
• Features they're missing that you offer
• Complaints about price, support, or reliability
• Mentions of switching ("we switched to X")

These are your competitive displacement angles.

Lens 5: Buyer Language Patterns

How do customers categorize and search for your type of product?

• What category words do they use?
• What comparison phrases appear? (e.g., "compared to Salesforce", "vs HubSpot")
• What role/title wrote the reviews? (validates ICP)
