What to do about it

If you run a coffee shop, not one of the 20 we read had answered a recent review, so any reply you write is one none of them has. If you run a restaurant, café or bakery, the bar is already named above: Chili's Grill & Bar, Curry Pizza House Fremont Blvd, Frodo Joe's Petit Cafe, Boudin SF and Noah's NY Bagels each answered 10 of their last 10.

Start by opening your listing and counting how many of your last 10 reviews carry a reply. That is the same measure behind every reply figure above. Then answer each new review, the good ones as well as the critical ones, in a sentence or two that mentions something the customer actually wrote about. Keep it plain and in your own voice. A reply is the one part of that exchange you write.

  2. Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
  3. Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
  4. Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.
