How to reply to a bad Google review

Stay calm, keep it short, take it offline.

Wait an hour

Never reply while you are upset. Future customers are reading this more than the person who wrote it.

Keep it short

Thank them, say you are sorry they had a bad time, and give them a way to reach you directly.

Do not argue details

Do not share private details or argue about who said what. Take it offline.

Earn more good ones

The best answer to one bad review is a steady flow of honest new ones.

Want your whole team doing this?

Everyone has their own QR, and you see who's asking.
