The reviews are the first thing they read.

Buyers read your reviews and your Business Profile before they reach your website. They read both whether you have touched them this year or not.

The first look

An untouched profile makes buyers wonder if you are still open.

Hours from before you changed them. A last post from the month you opened. Eleven reviews, none answered. A buyer reads all of it before they reach your site, and draws the obvious conclusion.

Tom, you are right, and I am sorry. We now leave a gap between appointments so it cannot happen again. Mara

The rule

Anything under four stars comes to you first.

A reply to a complaint is a judgement about your business. It is not one to hand to anyone else, and we do not ask you to.

The line is a number, not a mood, so you know in advance which reviews will reach you

In your voice

Every review answered in your voice.

An unanswered review says you did not notice, or did not care. Neither is true, and a buyer cannot tell the difference.

Written in the language the review was written in

Your voice, written down onceagreed once

Greeting Thank you, first name
Treatments never named, unless they did
Sign-off Mara, Your Brand
Never says "guaranteed results"
Stars, no words a thank you, nothing made up
Language the review’s own

Every reply is written to this. One that would fit under any review does not go out.

Kept current

Your profile says something happened this month.

A profile that has not changed since the day you set it up tells a buyer nothing has happened since. Something has. This is where it gets said.

When a post needs a fact only you have, it waits for you

The month

What went out, and what is waiting on you.

Every month there is a list: the replies that went out in your voice, the posts that went up, and anything still sitting with you. Nothing on it is a surprise, because the rule decided it in advance.

Questions people ask before they let anyone near their reviews

Does a machine answer my angry customer?

No. Anything three stars or below comes to you first and is yours to answer, and nothing is posted under it without you. A reply to a complaint is a judgement about your business. It stays with you.

What happens to a one-star review?

It comes to you first, and nothing goes under it until you have read it. You answer it in your own words, because a future buyer will read that reply as closely as the review. What we do is make sure you know it is there, and that it is not still sitting unanswered a month later.

Whose voice is it?

Yours. We write it down once from your own words, how you greet people, what you call your services, how you sign off, and every reply is written to that. A reply that would fit under any review on any listing is not good enough, and does not go out.

Do I approve every reply before it goes out?

You approve the voice once. After that you see every review under four stars before a word is said to it, and four and five stars go out in that voice without you reading each one. If you would rather read every reply first, say so on the call, and they wait.

What if I already reply myself?

Keep doing it. Your own replies are the best source there is for the voice, and we write from them. What changes is that the weeks you are too busy to reply no longer show on your profile.

Start with the check.

Twenty minutes. We read your reviews and your profile with you, and say what we would change.
