The Topics dashboard is the core dashboard where insights on topics are displayed. The dashboard is comprised of strips per topic and includes the Favorite Topics and Remaining Topics sections.
Understanding your topics
Expand the tabs below to get a better understanding of Topics and Insights terminology.
Topics
A topic represents a group of synonymous or highly correlated keywords mentioned in your customer reviews.
For example, the keywords 'Shipping', 'Shipment', 'Ship', 'Delivery', etc. may be represented as 'Shipping' in your list of topics. If a topic had three or more mentions, you'll be able to see hover over the topic to see which keywords are associated with each topic.
Note: Keyword grouping may vary from account to account.
Each topic is then assigned a sentiment score and includes associated opinions and products. The total number of topics available per the selected date range and filter(s) is displayed at the top of the Insights dashboard.
Opinions
Opinions reflect customer sentiment towards a particular topic. Opinions are classified as Positive or Negative based on the customer sentiment for that topic. Neutral opinions may result in inconclusive or undetermined sentiment.
Note: The number of opinions only refers to opinions found in organic reviews. Grouped or syndicated (cloned) reviews are excluded from the opinion count.
Products
Product reviews are analyzed to identify key topics mentioned in reviews. The products column refers to the number of products which had the topic mentioned in their reviews.
Note: The product count does not include products with cloned reviews (e.g. grouped products or syndicated reviews).
Sentiment score
Sentiment score is calculated by subtracting the percentage of negative opinions from the percentage of positive opinions mentioned per topic (similar to Net Performer Score/NPS).
The scale of sentiment score ranges from -100 to +100 where -100 is the most negative topic sentiment, +100 is the most positive topic sentiment. Like the star-rating distribution (1-5 stars), most topics have a positive sentiment score.
Note: Topics associated with a low number of opinions may result in a statistically insignificant Sentiment Score.
Sentiment change
Sentiment Change compares the change in a topic's sentiment score between two date ranges. The difference of the two scores is represented as the sentiment change per the selected date range. For example, if your date range is set to Past Month, the sentiment change will reflect the change in sentiment when comparing data from the past month to the month before it. 
Note: Sentiment change may appear as N/A in cases where there is insufficient data to calculate the sentiment score.
Favorites
Track the topics that interest you the most by adding them to your Favorites.
Topics can be added to or removed from Favorites by simply clicking on the star icon.
Topic strips
Each topic strip includes the topic name and sentiment score, sentiment change over time, opinions per topic, and the number of products affiliated with the topic per strip. 
Industry average
Understand how your performance compares to similar businesses with industry benchmarks. Insights automatically compares topic sentiment with over a dozen Yotpo accounts within your store's industry.
Topic breakdowns
Drill down by product, country, state, product group or product collection to get a real understanding of what has the biggest impact on customer satisfaction. When expanded, each strip includes an itemized breakdown affiliated with the selected topic. Breakdowns include the sentiment score and the number of opinions for each respective product. You can also read and export reviews by product or topic.Opinions reflect customer sentiment towards a particular topic. Opinions are classified as Positive or Negative based on the customer sentiment for that topic. Neutral opinions may result in inconclusive or undetermined sentiment.
Tip:
The more opinions a topic has, the more accurate the sentiment score.
Please note:
Opinion breakdowns do not include site reviews. If your store has only site reviews, breakdowns will appear empty and the sum of opinions in the breakdown may differ from the sum of bottom-lines per topic. Grouped (cloned) products will still appear in the product drill-down but may not have any organic reviews and opinions.
Opinion breakdown by state reflects data collected as of May 2017. As such, filtering by date prior to May 2017 may not return data for your search.
New product collections may be created via product catalog import and are updated once every 24 hours. If you're missing the Product Collections field in your product catalog, please contact your Yotpo representative for assistance.
The feature will not work for blocklisted products

Most mentioned opinions

Each opinion is factored by reviewer sentiment and grouped keywords and includes the number of opinions in parentheses.

Stacked bars reflect positive opinions at the bottom, negative opinions at the top, inconclusive opinions in the middle.

You may define a custom date range using the calendar, or select one of three predefined ranges:

Search results return matches by topic name within the applied filters (e.g. date or minimum opinions). For example, if you've selected Past 3 Months, only search results within the last three months will be returned.
The first section returns the first three textual matches for the search criteria.

The third section, See all results, will return all the relevant search results including any related topics.
Note:Topics with very few opinions will not appear in topic search results.
