Questions, answered

How does WebRun decide what a 'theme' is?

It reads the review text and groups mentions of similar topics - speed, price, staff, product quality, etc. You can give it a custom list of themes to watch for.

Does it reply to any reviews?

No - this template only reads and logs. For automatic replies, pair it with the review-reply templates.

Can I see the full data over time?

Yes - each week's themes are appended to the same sheet, so you build a month-by-month picture of what customers consistently praise or criticise.

Put this on autopilot.
