Frequently asked questions
Do five-star reviews need a response?
A short response can show appreciation and make the business feel active and attentive.
Can I invite the customer back?
Yes, if it sounds natural and does not turn the reply into an advertisement.
Should five-star replies include the business name?
Usually no. It is more useful to mention the specific service or experience the customer praised.
Can agencies use this for multiple clients?
Yes. Save one business profile per client or location, then draft replies with the right review site, tone, local context, and reply history.
Does ReplyCraft Local post replies automatically?
No. ReplyCraft Local creates editable drafts. Your team reviews, copies, and posts the final reply from the review platform.
Does it save the original review text?
No. Reply history saves the generated reply and useful metadata by business, not the raw customer review text by default.
