Wherever your reviews live today — Trustpilot, Google, Facebook or another tool — this guide shows you how to get them out as a CSV file and into Echorank, where every review is analyzed for sentiment and risk automatically.
A CSV is just a spreadsheet saved as plain text — Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers can all save one (File → Download / Save as → CSV). Your columns can be named anything; you'll match them up during the import.
Every platform is different — some hand you a CSV, some don't. Here's the honest picture for each, so you don't go hunting for a button that doesn't exist.
Google Business Profile has no "download my reviews as CSV" option — the button simply doesn't exist. You have three real paths:
Same story as Google: there's no CSV export for Page recommendations. Use the Echorank browser add-on, or copy them into the spreadsheet template below.
If you're switching from a review or reputation tool (Podium, Birdeye, ReviewTrackers, Yotpo and similar), look for Export or Download in its reviews or reports section and choose CSV. Whatever columns it produces are fine — you'll map them in step 3.
Any spreadsheet with one review per row works. Only two columns truly matter — the rest are nice to have:
| review_text * | rating * | author | date | platform | link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great service, quick turnaround… | 5 | Maria G. | 2026-05-14 | https://… | |
| Waited 40 minutes past my slot… | 2 | J. Tremblay | 2026-06-02 |
* Required. Save it as CSV and you're ready to upload.
Five small steps, start to finish. Each imported review goes through the same sentiment and risk analysis as your monitored reviews.
Click Choose file and pick your CSV — up to 5 MB. Leave "First row is a header" checked if your first row holds column names (exports from Trustpilot and other tools always do).
Echorank reads the file and shows the columns it found. Point review text and rating at the right columns — those two are required. Author, date and link are optional; anything unmapped is simply ignored.
Confirm, and Echorank processes the file in the background. Duplicates of reviews you already have are detected and skipped automatically — importing the same file twice won't create copies.
The table below the uploader tracks every file: status moves from processing to completed, with counts for Imported, Duplicates and Failed rows. Your new reviews land on the Monitoring page with sentiment and risk already scored.
