Who can watch my reviews and comments and draft replies?

Reviews and comments land on Google, Facebook and Instagram at once. During a campaign or a bad week, you can't keep up.

The short answer

Get every notification in one place, check once or twice a day, and keep a short guide for how you reply to praise, complaints and questions.

Do it yourself

  1. Turn on notifications

    In your Google Business Profile and Meta Business Suite, for reviews, comments and messages.

  2. Write a reply guide

    Three short examples: thanks, a complaint taken offline, and a common question.

  3. Check on a schedule

    Once or twice a day, more often during a campaign.

  4. Take complaints offline

    Reply once in public, then move the details to a call or message.

Questions

Is there a service that watches my reviews and comments and tells me what to reply?

Get every notification in one place, check once or twice a day, and keep a short guide for how you reply to praise, complaints and questions.

Should I reply to every review?

Replying to most reviews, good and bad, shows people you're listening. Keep complaint replies short and move details offline.

Can a service post replies for me?

Yes. With Runway each reply waits for your yes, so nothing goes out in your name unread.
