Weekly 10-minute AI batch replies to every Google review
Reply to every Google review in about 10 minutes a week. A one-time voice brief makes AI drafts sound like you, and you approve every one.
- Task
- reply to every Google review each week without sounding templated
- Result
- whole week of replies in ~10 minutes; usually only 1–2 of 10 drafts need fixing; example reply took "eight seconds" to draft and five to approve
- Tools
- ChatGPT or Claude
- Google Business Profile
- Setup
- one-time 20-min "voice brief" prompt (how we talk, always/never rules, <60 words positive, <80 negative, sign-off name, invite angry reviewers to email/phone) → Monday block: copy unanswered reviews → paste batch → read every draft → paste replies into Google
- never auto-post
- refresh brief every few months
Step-by-step setup guide
Benefit: Every review gets a reply without a daily chore. You batch them on Monday, read each draft, and post them yourself. Nothing is auto-posted.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Write your voice brief once (20 minutes). Use the prompt below. Save the brief in a note or as a ChatGPT/Claude project instruction.
Step 2. Block 10 minutes every Monday. Open Read reviews on your Business Profile and copy the week's unanswered reviews.
Step 3. Paste the batch with your brief. Ask for one reply per review.
Step 4. Read every draft. Fix the 1–2 that are off. Never paste customer phone numbers or booking details into the chat.
Step 5. Post each reply in Google. Go to your Business Profile on Google Search or Maps → Read reviews → Reply next to the review → paste → Reply. Your profile must be verified, and Google screens replies, usually in about 10 minutes.
Step 6. Update the brief every few months with phrases you keep correcting.
Copy-paste prompt (voice brief + batch)
You write Google review replies for {business} as {owner_first_name}.
