### 1.  Collect Online Reviews trough the Data Hub

![](https://help.symanto.com/hubfs/image-png-Jun-27-2022-09-01-24-91-AM.png)

To start collecting reviews, go to the "**Data Hub**" tab and click on "**+ Add data**". Choose "Online Reviews\*", then click "Next" to customise your requirements.

### 2. How to collect Online Reviews![](https://help.symanto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-17-2024-11-23-36-0798-AM.png?width=688&height=530&name=image-png-Jul-17-2024-11-23-36-0798-AM.png)

- **Step 1:** Enter a name for the source(s) 
- **Step 2:** Enter the URL(s) of the site(s) you want to collect reviews from   
  *(You can choose to only collect data from one URL or add more; if so: please enter one URL per line)*

- Click [here](https://help.symanto.com/knowledge/url-guidelines?hsLang=en)to view what the exact URL format should look like

- **Step 3:** Enter the maximum number of reviews you want to collect (from each URL)
- **Step 4 (optional):** Enter a start date for the data collection

**Note:** "Add from date" is the date **from** which you would like to collect the data **up to the current date  
  
*Example*:** the date today is the 1st January 2024:  
Select the date in "Add from date": 1/1/2024 >  the data will be collected from the 1st of January 2024 up to the present day

- **Step 5 (optional):** Specify attributes as filters  
  *(Filter attributes are additional descriptive information that you can add to the collected reviews allowing you to later filter, slice, and analyse your data within the project)*

![](https://help.symanto.com/hubfs/image-png-Jun-27-2022-10-06-59-99-AM.png)

You can either type your own filter type and value or select a filter type from the drop-down menu and add the value

**You can add multiple attributes, but please note that these cannot be changed after the collection has started.**

### **3. Starting the collection**

Once you have completed setting up your data collection(s), the status of your source(s) will appear as '*Collection Pending*.' After the collection is finished, a preview of the data will be available. You can then either create a new project to analyse the data directly or add it to an already existing project.

**Note**: You can change the name of your source at any time by clicking on the editing-pen icon

### 4. How long does the data collection take?

Although data is usually collected within minutes, several factors can influence the time required to collect reviews:

**1. Queue**

When you add a review collection to our system, it enters a queue that operates on a first-come, first-served basis. This means your review collection will be added to the queue accordingly.

**2. Review site**

The time required to collect data can vary slightly depending on the review site, as some sites are more challenging to retrieve information from than others.

**3. Number of reviews**

Needless to say, collecting data from a site with 10,000 reviews will take longer than from a site with only 100 reviews.

If you have submitted a review collection and you feel like it's stuck or encountering issues, please feel free to contact us.

### 5. Important to know when collecting Trustpilot reviews

Trustpilot offers reviews in different languages, so if you want to collect Trustpilot reviews from a specific language make sure to set the filter on the review page and check the URL:

*Example: You only want to collect Spanish reviews:*

2. Make sure the language is specified in the URL:
