Tracking keywords in reviews

What is review monitoring?

Keyword monitoring automatically scans all your reviews (both from Diviner One and Google Business Profile) to find mentions of your tracked keywords. It shows you which keywords appear in actual customer feedback.

Why monitor keywords in reviews?

Measure prompt effectiveness

If you're suggesting keywords on your prompt pages, monitoring shows whether customers actually use those terms.

Discover organic mentions

Customers naturally use certain words to describe your services. Monitoring reveals these organic keywords you might want to target.

Track SEO impact

Reviews containing relevant keywords contribute to your search visibility. More keyword mentions = stronger relevance signals.

See which services customers mention most, and track changes over time.
