Moderation Tabs

When you first enter the Company Reviews Moderation page, you are greeted with several tabs at the top of the screen. Each tab contains different types of content. 

a. Published - This contains all of the live reviews.

b. Unpublished - This contains all reviews awaiting your moderation.
c. Reported - This contains all reviews that have been reported to RaveCapture.
d. Review Requests - This contains all review requests that are either pending or have been previously sent

e. Moderation Settings - Automation options for reviews can be found within this tab

Next to the tab name is a number in parenthesis which is the number of entries in each tab. 

Moderation Settings

Automation options can be found within the Moderation Settings tab including:

  • Profanity Filter

  • Convert Customer Name to First Initial

  • Auto Publishing - The default setting is to publish 3+ star reviews

  • Flagged Keywords - Words added here will "flag" a review containing the word and do not need to be an exact match. For example, the keyword "test" will flag a review that contains "testing"

Searching & Filtering

Within the Published and Unpublished Tabs, you will have the ability to search and filter content easily. 

You can search by the following terms:

  • Customer Name

  • Email Address 

  • Order #

  • Tags

  • Review Text

You can filter by the following options:

  • Star Rating (1-5) 

  • Date Range

  • Review Response

  • Recommendation Score

  • Review Source

  • Photos

  • Tags

Our system also allows for multiple items to be selected at once, making it easier for complex searches. For example, you can search for all reviews using the word "great colors", which also wrote you a 5-star review and have photos. 


Review Details

When new reviews come into your account they will always be shown at the top since our page is sorted by newest date first. 

The review page has three types of content areas:

  • Review Content

  • Customer Content

  • Social Sharing

Review Content

In the center review content section under each review you will find:

  • Star Rating

  • Review Text 

  • Photos (if available)

  • Interactive Buttons

Interactive Buttons

Several actions can be completed using the interactive buttons located under each review including:

  • Report

  • Respond (View Response if a review has been responded to)

  • Visual Reminder

  • Actions

Review Actions

From within the "actions" button located under each review, you will find several available actions including:

  • Publish As Product Review

  • Publish All Visuals

  • Upload Photo/Video

  • Hide Full Name

  • Hide Last Name

  • Add Customer Service Tag

Our tagging feature is a great way to let customer service teams keep track of reviews. For example, let's say you want to notify other team members that a review needs a response.

To do this you would click on:

  • Actions > Add Tag

  • Type in the name of the tag "ex: needs review" or select an existing tag

  • Click Save


Responding to Reviews

When a customer writes a review for your business (good or bad) it's always nice to follow up with a personalized message. Responding benefits the customer, because it shows them you care, and appreciate them for utilizing your company. It also benefits prospective buyers on your site, because it shows your great customer service in action. 

We support two types of responses:

  • Public

  • Private

The difference is that public responses are shown on your website & emailed to the customer, while Private responses are only emailed to the customer. 

One additional benefit is the ability for customers to change their review content after you've responded to them. In the above image, the customer was upset and a response was sent to her. When the customer receives your response, they will have the ability to update their review stars & review content.

Reporting a Review

In some circumstances, it may be necessary to report a review to RaveCapture. When a review is reported, the following process occurs:

  • Review is moved into the "Reported" Tab in the moderation area

  • Review is hidden from your site

  • Our Moderation Team begins to review the issue

If the review does indeed meet the requirements for being reported, it will remain reported. However, if the team has questions, we will follow up within 5 business days.

The following reasons are supported in RaveCapture:

  • Spam

  • Inappropriate

  • Irrelevant

  • Test Review

To report a review select the red "report" button located under each review, then select the reason, and add your comments in the free text field.

For the Customer Content area on the left, you will notice a few items as well:

  • Customer Name

  • Date

  • Location (if available)

  • Email

  • Order #

  • Recommendation Score

  • Review Source

Share to Social Media

Reviews can be shared on Social Media by selecting the desired platform icon on the right column of reviews. More information about sharing reviews on social media can be found here.


Bulk Actions

If you need to perform the same action on many reviews at once, our bulk actions will save you considerable time. We currently support the following bulk actions:

  • Report

  • Hide Last Name

  • Hide Full Name

  • Publish All Visuals

  • Visual Reminder

To use a bulk action, you must have at least 1 review checked on the left. Then click on "Actions" at the top and select the action. Once you confirm the action, all reviews will be updated instantly.
