Why it matters

Replies to Google reviews shape reputation more than the review itself — especially for tradespeople chosen on trust. This prompt helps you answer calmly and professionally even to criticism, without losing face.

How to use it

Paste the customer's review, state the star rating and your contact, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Tip: if the case is tricky, briefly add your version — the reply will be more specific.

Where to use it

  • A calm reply to a negative review after a misunderstanding over timing.
  • A sincere thank-you for a 5-star rating with a specific detail.
  • Keeping one consistent, professional reply style across all reviews.
  • Quickly handling several reviews in one sitting.

FAQ

  • Briefly give your version in the context. The AI will acknowledge the disappointment, politely state the facts and invite a phone call, without airing details publicly.
