Data
This article gives an overview of the Data page features in Brandwatch Reviews.
In this article:
After you log into Brandwatch Reviews, the Data page will be displayed by default. The Data page has four main sections:
- Adding Data: Use the three blue buttons at the top right of the page to add data by URL, product, or search.
- Data Alerts: See the four most recent alerts and click View All to navigate to the Data Alerts page.
- Recent: Quick navigation to the four most recently viewed URLs or products.
- Data Table: View all of your URLs, products, brands, categories, and tabs to organize your data.
Adding Data
There are three ways to add data into the platform: Add (single) URLs, Add Products, or Add Search.
Add URL
The Add URL feature enables you to add single URLs into the platform that can later be organized into products or projects as required.
Click Add URL to open the modal:
To add a URL, simply copy the URL from the page you would like to track and paste it into the Add single product URLs text box.
Tip:
Don’t worry if your URL is long, as our URL parser will tidy the URL to ensure it’s in a format accepted by our crawler or our partners’ crawlers.
If you’d like to add more than one URL, simply click the + Add more button and a new text box will appear for you to paste in more URLs.
At this stage, you can add URLs to specific projects as desired by using the Project dropdown at the bottom of the modal. URLs will always be added to the All Data project, so you can organize them into projects later if you’d prefer.
Add product
The Add Product feature enables you to add groups of URLs into user-defined products for analysis together in dashboards later.
The primary purpose of grouping URLs into products allows you to track the same product sold on multiple retailers together. For example, an Apple Magic Keyboard sold on both Walmart and Amazon.
Click the Add Product button to open the modal:
First, give your product a name. Using the example above, you may want to call the product “Apple Magic Keyboard.” Then, paste the URLs into the text box, clicking + Add more to include more than one URL.
Tip:
If you have an existing list of URLs, you can upload them via a CSV file.
At this stage, you can decide to add products (and the URLs included) to specific projects if desired by using the Project dropdown at the bottom of the modal. Otherwise, they will always be added to the All Data project so you can organize them into projects later if you’d prefer.
Add search
The Add Search feature enables you to add the URL results from an entire search, typically for a brand or category, to the reviews platform in a few simple steps. This feature is currently supported across all Amazon domains.
Tip:
If you would like us to prioritize any non-Amazon sites that are important to you, please email reviews@brandwatch.com to let us know which sites you’re interested in.
Click the Add Search button to open the modal:
Give your search a name (e.g. “Bluetooth In-Ear Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones Under $50”).
Then, create your search on Amazon. You can use any combination of search terms or filters, including price range, star ratings, and brands. As an example, see the screenshot below which has filters applied to find in-ear headphones with active noise canceling under $50.
Once you’ve compiled your search on Amazon, copy the search URL into the Paste Link text box and include a short description of the search in the Link Name text box. In the case of the example, you could call it “Bluetooth In-Ear Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones Under $50 — Amazon US.”
If you’d like to add more search links (e.g. the same search on the Amazon UK site), click the + Add more button and you can repeat the above steps to add additional search links.
If you select a project, any URLs collected will be added to that project in addition to the All Data project.
Once you’ve configured your search, click Save. The system will then run a data collection job to collect all of the URLs returned by the search and notify you via a data alert when it’s complete.
Note:
At this stage, if you have not added any of the URLs to your account, it will not count towards your URL allowance.
Once you’ve received the alert that the Search add is completed, click View Results to open up the Search Detail modal, where you can select which of the URLs you’d like to add to your account.
In this view, you can filter the results by volume of reviews or by star ratings. If you’re setting up a category search and you want to constrain the number of URLs you use, you can adjust these parameters to only include the more successful products in the category.
Additionally, you can use the search box to quickly search within the results for particular brands or products you’d like to add. You can select all URLs in the current filter view, or select individual URLs to add them to your account.
Lastly, you can also configure the search to re-run every 30 days by adjusting the toggle next to Find new listing(URLs) every 30 days. If you select this option, we’ll re-scrape the search results every 30 days and notify you with an in-platform alert if any new URLs have been added to the search.
Once set this option, you’ll get an additional toggle option to Automatically add new found URLs to reviews. If you toggle this option in addition to the alert, we’ll also add any new URLs found automatically to the platform.
Data Alerts
At the top of the page are data alerts, which can be triggered by a number of events, such as:
- Search failures and completions
- New URLs identified by a search
- Canonical URL replacements (where we replace your Amazon URL with the canonical URL to ensure there are no duplicate variants added)
You can view all of your alerts by clicking View All in the top right of the data alerts panel.
Data Table
In the Data Table, you can organize and structure your data into projects, brands, categories, and tags, to enable easy navigation and quick dashboard setup and analysis.
The table is broken down into five tabbed sections, specifically:
- URLs Tab: Displays the URLs that are included in the project selected. (If the All Data project is selected, or all URLs will be displayed).
- Products Tab: Displays your created groups or URLs for the same products. (It is necessary to select “Products” in the dashboard setup process).
- Brands Tab: Displays the brands that have been auto-extracted from Amazon, or created by users.
- Categories Tab: Displays the categories that have been auto-extracted from Amazon, or created by users.

Under each tab, each column in the table can be sorted either ascending or descending by clicking on the column header.
Additionally, you can customize the fields (columns) on display in the table. To hide any column, click on the column header select Hide Column. To add columns, select the + icon to the right of the table and select the columns you’d like to add.
