How to Respond to Positive Reviews:

For positive reviews, thank them for their praise, and invite them to come back. You can let them know about upcoming promotions that they might be interested in. You can use your business name in the response to increase your SEO. Remember, positive reviews also make great social posts! If you have Social Marketing connected to the account, click the Share icon to share the review on your social networks.

How to Respond to Negative Reviews:

Negative reviews should also be personalized to the content of the review. You want them to know that you are listening to their concerns. Make sure to apologize for the experience, and invite the reviewer to resolve the issue offline. It’s always better to deal with their issues privately.
