This restaurant chain improved customer response rate from 33% to 100%.
Background and business need
A large restaurant chain based in the US with stores across geographies wanted to improve the customer experience as well as become the first choice to dine out. They began to realize that customers are beginning to trust online reviews to identify the best place to dine and positive reviews had a significant impact on their revenue, reputation, and overall online visibility. With multiple chains across locations, it was getting difficult for this restaurant to analyze sentiments, respond to negative reviews, and manage reputation effectively.
That is when they came across Xtract.io online reputation management solution and decided to implement it for their business.
The change they wanted to see
Identify and aggregate customer reviews across channels and analyze current customer sentiments
Improve customer engagement through online review monitoring and devise automated responses
Improve overall brand image, achieve better visibility, and growth in revenue
Challenges faced by the customer
Prior to implementing Xtract.io to manage their online reputation, the restaurant chain had difficulties in managing the process in-house due to the lack of the following:
It was a multi-location business with 4300+ franchisees. Customers leave digital footprints on multiple platforms in the form of reviews and comments, newsfeed and listings, and more. They did not have a scalable solution to monitor this
There were negative reviews and comments that needed to be sorted out quickly. They did not have an automated response mechanism to manage negative reviews (responded only to 33% reviews)
Lack of technical expertise and consultation to help them manage the impact of negative reviews on search engine rankings
Xtract.io solutions and analysis
The reputation experts at Xtract.io analyzed the challenges and implemented a step-by-step solution.
There were 1M+ reviews across social channels, review sites, newsfeed, and various other sources
Xtract.io Solution
We implemented our cloud-based data aggregation platform to aggregate reviews across channels/geographies. The solution contained 32 automated bots.
The reviews were mixed - positive, negative, and neutral.
Xtract.io Solution
Our NLP-based sentiment analysis tool classified reviews into - positive, negative, and neutral. This helped in automating a tailored-response. Eg., for a negative review, the response was ” Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Please reach out at [email protected] for further discussion and grievance resolution ” and if the review was positive the response was “ Thank you for the feedback. This will help us serve you better”.
A thorough analysis of the sentiments and geography-based store performance analysis data from the customer revealed some critical insights to our reputation experts, based on which they made recommendations.
Xtract.io Solution
Using heatmaps, the experts were able to identify stores with low customer satisfaction and map it to performance data and geography-based sentiments.
Missing out on brand mentions, negative feedback, and other significant happenings.
