Every review answered, in your voice, within the hour

The problem

A plumber finishes a job, checks their phone and finds three new Google reviews from last week. Two are glowing, one is frustrated about a late arrival. After a long day, typing replies feels like homework. The glowing reviews get a quick thumbs-up emoji, the frustrated one gets a delayed, defensive paragraph written on the drive home, and the pattern of late arrivals never gets flagged to the dispatcher.

What AI makes possible now

A monitored process watches your Google Business Profile and a few other review sites you choose. When a new review appears, the AI drafts a reply that mirrors the voice in your ten best past responses. A five-star review about a specific technician gets a warm, personal thank you that mentions them by name. A one-star review about billing triggers a different path: the system holds the reply, writes a calm acknowledgement and sends you a Slack message with the review, a draft and a clear prompt to check the invoice before you hit send. Meanwhile, a weekly summary quietly groups every mention of 'wait time' or 'clean up' so you can see the pattern without hunting for it.

How it works

1. The system connects to your Google Business Profile and up to two other review platforms via API.
2. You provide ten examples of replies you are proud of. The model learns your tone, typical length and how you address specific compliments or complaints.
3. A new review arrives. The AI scores its sentiment, identifies the service line or staff member mentioned and drafts a reply in your voice.
4. If the sentiment score is below a threshold you set, or the review contains a billing or legal keyword, the reply is held. You receive a notification with the review, the draft and a direct link to approve, edit or discard it. All other replies are posted automatically.

The first thirty days

In the first thirty days, you get the reply engine working for Google reviews only. We train the voice model on your sample replies, agree on the escalation keywords and set up a single notification channel, either email or Slack. You review every held reply for a week, then we switch approved replies to auto-post.

How it earns

You stop losing bookings from prospects who see an empty reply section or a defensive owner response. A 24-hour reply cadence signals an active, attentive business. The weekly complaint summary surfaces one fixable operational problem a month before it costs you another customer.

Why now

Google's local ranking weight on review engagement and response time has been climbing steadily. A generic or missing reply is a signal of neglect to both the algorithm and the reader.

First customers

A multi-location dental group with a stretched-thin office manager, or a home services business with 200+ reviews where the owner still writes every reply on Sunday night.

The hard part

A poorly judged automated reply to a sensitive complaint can make a bad situation worse. The escalation keyword list and human approval gate are the safety catch, but they need careful tuning in the first month.

Build this with us
