Review response checklist

  • Reply within a set time window
  • Thank the reviewer and mention a specific detail they raised
  • Never confirm private customer details such as health or account information
  • Move problems to a private channel with a named contact
  • Do not offer incentives in exchange for reviews or for changing or removing reviews; Google's policy prohibits both
  • Escalate legal threats or safety issues to the owner before replying
