How much of a focus should it be? What does the data say in terms of the value and impact of longer review content over shorter review content? And, most of all, what can they do to inspire their customers to leave more detailed reviews?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to find out a detailed data-backed take on why curating longer consumer review content is worth your while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on our own PowerReviews review interaction data (taken from analysis of 1.5m+ product pages across 1,200+ brand and retail sites), we can see the distribution of \u201chelpful\u201d ratings according to review length. By this we mean the average number of \u201chelpful\u201d votes review content receives from shoppers.

The trend is very clear. The longer the review, the more helpful it is. 500+ character reviews &#8211; in particular &#8211; evidently offer huge value to shoppers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes complete sense: consumers like to consume longer review content because it includes more detail that is more likely to be relevant to them. Take a coat for example. A longer review might go into the fit, the material, the zipper, the color, the warmth, reasons for buying and so on and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what does a \u201chelpful\u201d review mean in terms of outcome?

As detailed above, the more information contained within a customer review, the more likely it is to clearly articulate a specific use case and answer whatever questions a customer has. It\u2019s also more likely to enhance buyer confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this value has numerous levels. Think about it: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unstructured product feedback is feedback in your customers\u2019 own words. No BS. In this social media-influenced world where everyone is used to interacting and providing their opinions online in public forums, reviews offer an excellent outlet to provide feedback and recommendations for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their verbatim nature mean you also really get to understand how an experience or product made a customer <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The longer the review, the more customer emotion-type information you get. Reviews that highlight how products made a shopper <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> something positive resonate and connect with customers. As a result, they can be extremely influential in the buying decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Longer reviews also make the product more likely to be found. Review content &#8211; like any other copy on a web page &#8211; contributes to SEO rankings, thereby increasing web traffic. More eyes on a product &#8211; particularly when the search is likely to be highly intent driven &#8211; means more sales.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70a4b02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70a4b02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The More Negative the Sentiment, the Longer the Review\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a04f5de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a04f5de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-1024x768.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24254\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends-610x458.png 610w, https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/review-length-trends.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-070103d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"070103d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wanted to see if consumer sentiment affected review length. The answer is it does and significantly so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, we looked at the accompanying rating provided by the reviewer alongside their review content. It\u2019s clear that &#8211; even over an extended period &#8211; five and four star rated reviews (out of five) are consistently shorter than one and two star reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To spell this out, negative reviews are longer than positive reviews. Intuitively, this makes sense. You\u2019ve probably seen a lot of review comments out there that say simply \u201camazing, love my new spatula\u201d, \u201cthis coat is wonderful\u201d or similar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negative reviews &#8211; on the other hand &#8211; tend to have more detailed explanations of why the reviewer didn\u2019t like the product (e.g. \u201cBought the oven online, was a seamless purchase and delivery process. I wouldn\u2019t buy it again though because it doesn\u2019t heat to the temperature it claims at any given time, I\u2019ve verified with my own oven thermometer. When I baked a cake, it didn\u2019t rise. It ruined my son\u2019s birthday. Such a shame as this brand is usually super reliable and this is the third oven I bought for them. I\u2019m shocked and disappointed\u201d etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Negative reviews actually average more than 200 characters pretty consistently. But positive reviews track more closely to what we described across all our data. Why? Most reviews are positive. In fact, the bottom chart here highlights that a whopping 85% of product reviews are 4 and 5 star rated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an especially important point for you to consider.

The review form is related to a furniture item, so Room &amp; Board ask reviewers to choose their uses (options: accent, informal, lounging, small spaces, formal, large spaces, primary seating, watching tv) where they live (options: apartment, loft, townhouse, house) and so on.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a9ad7f3\" data-id=\"a9ad7f3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-907c9cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"907c9cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/room-board.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24073\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da1929a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da1929a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This very smartly plants ideas in the reviewer&#8217;s head that they will take into their comment submission later in the form. So \u201clove this couch\u201d becomes \u201cI needed a modern looking couch that is super comfortable (mainly for watching TV) to be the centerpiece in my one-bedroom New York City apartment.

The review meter in effect acts as \u201cthe convertor\u201d, providing the motivation to create the sort of content that leads to sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of course the checklist approach also has other highly complementary purposes. Namely, they help populate Pro\/Con lists, use cases and demographic information at the top of the review display that summarize information contained in the reviews. These can then be displayed in an easily scannable and filterable way for shoppers, providing super impactful social proof from \u201cpeople like me\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-29c7f33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29c7f33\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6cb08c\" data-id=\"c6cb08c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34fe3bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"34fe3bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-509e4b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"509e4b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t care about review length, you should. Longer reviews are proven to drive more sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? During the research phase of their purchase cycle, consumers want authentic validation. If they get this, they are far more likely to follow through and convert to a buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more relatable the review content, the more likely it is to resonate and have an impact. And the longer the content, the more likely it is to contain this relatable information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that there are some simple actions you can take to encourage these longer reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and foremost, you should leverage our new Review Meter. We built this capability exactly because brands and retailers are struggling to generate quality and in-depth review content. This plays on the concept of gamification to encourage reviewers to continue by way of a live character content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you should also think about adjusting your review form to fully optimize the power of the Review Meter. By guiding customers through the submission process by asking for relatable tags before they reach the commentary box, you plant ideas in the reviewer\u2019s head that they take with them to when they start to write in their own words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This &#8211; in tandem with the Review Meter &#8211; will help you generate the more in-depth and detailed review content that drives sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a PowerReviews customer, you can activate the Review Meter today.
