Example
★★★★☆
Dana R.

Great food, but we waited almost 40 minutes on a Friday. Would come back on a quieter night.

Reply from the owner

Thanks for your patience, Dana, and for the kind words about the food. Fridays get busy and 40 minutes is longer than we want anyone waiting. We’ve added a cook on weekend nights. Hope to see you again soon!

Silence reads like “we don’t care.”

Most customers read reviews before they visit, and they read your replies too. An unanswered complaint sits there for years. A calm, friendly reply shows everyone that someone is minding the store.

Ordered through the app and they said my order didn’t exist. Waited an hour.

Reply from the owner

Mike, we’re sorry. That shouldn’t happen. App orders now print straight to the kitchen. Please call us so we can make this right.

Add-on

A simple website that works

No website, or one that hasn’t been touched in years? We’ll build a clean one-page site with your menu or services, hours, real customer reviews, and one-tap call and directions. It looks great on phones, and the domain stays in your name.

$199 one-time for founding clients · optional $20/month for updates like new hours, menu changes, and holiday notices.

Questions owners ask

Do you need my passwords?

No. You add us as a manager on your Google Business Profile and a user on Yelp for Business. Both take about two minutes, and you can remove us anytime.

Will the replies sound like me?

That’s the whole point. We match how you talk to customers, and you can see and change anything before it goes up for the first few weeks.

What about bad reviews?

We answer them calmly, never argue, and invite the customer to reach you directly. We’ll also flag anything that keeps coming up so you can fix it at the source.

Do you write fake reviews?

Never. Fake reviews are against the law and against Google’s and Yelp’s rules. We only reply to real ones and help you ask happy customers to leave theirs.

Is there a contract?

No. It’s month to month. Stop whenever you like.
