Google Reviews: what is waiting on the left, how replies should be handled on the right.

Replying

  1. Under a review, choose Write with AI. A reply is drafted in your chosen tone.
  2. Read it and change anything you like.
  3. Choose Post reply. It appears on Google under the review.

Draft replies for all waiting prepares a draft for every unanswered review at once. Nothing is posted until you post it.

Automatic replies

Choose how much to hand over:

  • I reply myself: AI only drafts when you ask.
  • Answer 4-5 star reviews for me: good reviews are answered automatically; lower ratings get a draft and wait for you. This is the recommended setting.
  • Answer every review for me: including unhappy ones, with a polite apology.

Pick the tone (Friendly, Professional or Short) and an optional sign-off. Automatic replies apply only to reviews that arrive after you switch them on, never to older ones.
