How to Use Customer Discovery Themes

Use GummySearch to find valuable customer insights and validate ideas by analyzing conversations in your target audience communities.

Note: This feature is most powerful when you have already created a well-defined audience.

1. Access Customer Discovery Filters

Within your target audience, GummySearch categorizes conversations to help you find customer discovery opportunities:

  • Solution requests: Conversations where people ask for tools and solutions

  • Pain and anger: People expressing pain points and frustrations

  • Ideas: People suggesting ideas

  • Money talk: Conversations about spending money

  • Opportunities: Discussions about things that can be improved

  • Advice requests: People asking for recommendations and guidance

2. Explore Solution Requests

Solution requests are particularly valuable for customer discovery because they show:

  • Specific problems people need to solve

  • Gaps in current solutions

  • How people describe their needs

  • What features or capabilities they're seeking

3. Analyze Customer Discovery Data

To focus your research, use the filter options to narrow down to specific topics. For each relevant conversation, read the original post and comments to understand the specific need or problem. Look for common themes across similar requests.

4. Organize Your Findings

When you find valuable conversations, save them to lists. This will allow you to organize conversations by theme or research topic and add notes about key insights from each conversation.

Tip: Set up keyword tracking for terms related to your research to monitor new conversations about your area of interest.
