"Waited 40 min for a table despite booking. Food was great but service let it down."
Owner response
Hi Dave, thanks for being honest — that wait time isn't good enough and we're sorry for the experience. We've since updated our booking system. We'd love to have you back and make it right.
✓ Response drafted & approved

78% of reviews go unanswered.
Yours shouldn't.

Most business owners know they should respond to reviews. They just never actually do. Here's why it keeps not happening.

"I'll get to it later."

You're running a business. By the time you remember those reviews, it's three weeks later and now it's awkward. They pile up. You feel worse. Nothing happens.

"I don't know what to say."

Especially the negative ones. You write something, delete it, write it again, decide it sounds too defensive — and end up sending nothing. Or worse, sending the wrong thing.

$

Silence costs you customers.

People read your reviews before they book. An unanswered negative review is a red flag. A warm, considered reply turns a 3-star grumble into a reason to give you a go.

How it works

Three steps. Two minutes of your time.

01

We watch your reviews

Connect your Google Business Profile and we monitor every new review — 24/7. You'll get a notification when something comes in so nothing slips through.

02

We draft a response

Our team writes a response in your brand voice — warm, specific, and actually worth reading. Not a template. Not AI-spew. Something a real person would write.

Within 12h
03

You approve and post

You get the draft via email. Read it, tweak it if you want, hit approve. We paste it into Google for you — or send you the copy to post yourself. Takes two minutes, max.

What it actually looks like.

Not cookie-cutter. Not obviously AI-written. Just good, considered responses that make your business look like it gives a damn — because it does.

"Came in for a trim and colour correction after a disaster elsewhere — Mel completely turned it around. Honestly the best my hair has looked in years. Booked in again already."

Owner response · via HEARDco

Jess, that genuinely makes our day — colour corrections can be tricky and Mel really is brilliant at them. So glad we could sort things out for you. We'll pass on the love and we'll see you at your next appointment! 💛

"Tradie showed up 2 hours late, didn't call ahead. Job itself was fine but the lack of communication was frustrating. Wouldn't book again."

Owner response · via HEARDco

Marcus, that's fair feedback and we're not going to make excuses for the late start — a heads-up call should have happened and it didn't. We've taken this on board and are putting a reminder system in place for exactly this reason. If you're ever willing to give us another go, we'd appreciate the chance to do better.

A few people who tried it and didn't leave.

"Honestly I'd been ignoring reviews for about eight months. Not proud of it. Signed up on a Monday and by Wednesday everything had a response. Made me look like a completely different business."

"We had a nightmare review from a customer that was just wrong — but the way HEARDco handled the response actually made us look good. Couldn't have written that myself without sounding like a dickhead."

"I was sceptical it would sound like me. Read the first draft back and actually laughed — they somehow nailed it. My regulars probably can't even tell the difference."

The things people actually ask.

Do you post the responses for me?
+
On Growth and Pro plans, yes — we can post directly to your Google Business Profile with your permission. On Starter, we send you the draft copy-ready to paste in yourself. Either way, it takes about two minutes on your end.
Will it actually sound like me?
+
That's the thing we care most about getting right. When you sign up, you fill in a short brand voice questionnaire — how you like to talk to customers, words you'd never use, your general vibe. We use that to calibrate everything. Most clients say the first batch of drafts sounds more like them than what they'd have written on a Sunday night in a rush.
What about negative reviews?
+
Negative reviews are actually where we earn our money. A bad response to a negative review can do more damage than the review itself. We write responses that acknowledge the issue, don't make excuses, and leave the door open — without sounding like a corporate apology template. Growth and Pro clients get these handled within 2 hours.
How long does setup take?
+
About 15 minutes. You connect your Google Business Profile, fill in a quick brand voice form, and we handle the rest. We'll usually have your first batch of responses ready within 12 hours of setup. No technical skills required — if you can do online banking, you can set this up.

No credit card. No contracts. Just a 5-day trial to see if it works for you — and it usually does.
