Categorize into themes (pricing, quality, support, features). Note common patterns. Count mentions of each theme. This manual analysis takes hours. Now paste 50 reviews into ChatGPT requesting theme extraction. Compare results and time. Refine prompt to match your categories.<\/p>\n<h3>Level-up version<\/h3>\n<p>Competitor review analysis for comparison. Track theme trends over time (is &#8220;customer service&#8221; improving?).
