Pause before you reply

A rushed public reply can make a situation harder. Take time to check your records and decide whether to request an assessment first.

Keep replies calm, short and private-minded

If you respond, thank the reviewer, avoid sharing personal details and invite them to contact you directly.

Consider removal and reputation management together

Review removal and ongoing reputation management work best side by side, so new feedback reflects the business accurately.
