How to Respond to Google Reviews

Learn how to respond to Google reviews with betterbunch, and why it's important.

When a customer leaves a review, responding matters. Whether positive or negative, replies help your business:

  • Boost visibility in Google search: Google factors reviews and responses into its SEO ranking algorithm. Replying to reviews helps you rank higher in Google search results. 

  • Build loyalty: Thanking reviewers shows you value their effort.

  • Win new customers: Prospects trust businesses that engage with feedback.

Tip: Respond quickly. Even short replies build trust with both customers and Google.
