Step by Step

How It Works

Five steps to fully automated review responses. Here is exactly what happens, in plain English.

1
Google Business Profile notification triggers the workflow
When a new review is posted to your Google Business Profile, a Zapier or Make automation detects it instantly and kicks off the pipeline. No manual checking required — you’ll never miss another review.
2
AI reads and analyzes the review
AI reads the review, identifies sentiment (positive, neutral, negative), and picks up key details — menu items, staff names, specific complaints, and compliments that make each response feel personal and genuine.
3
AI drafts a personalized response in your brand voice
Using your brand voice guidelines, AI drafts a personalized response — warm and grateful for positives, empathetic and solution-oriented for negatives, professional and engaging for neutral reviews. No cookie-cutter templates.
4
Manager reviews and approves via Slack or email
The draft is sent to the manager via Slack or email for quick review. One click to approve as-is, or a quick edit before sending — no context switching or logging into dashboards. Most approvals take under 30 seconds.
5
Approved response goes live on Google
The approved response is posted back to Google automatically. Your customer sees a thoughtful, personalized reply in minutes, not days — and every interaction is logged in a tracking sheet for reporting.
