Question 1

Does it post without me seeing it?

Accepted Answer

For 4–5★ reviews, yes. That's the point. But only after your approval window. For your first 72 hours (or your first 5 reviews, whichever is longer), every single reply waits for your OK. That's an always-on safety gate, not a setting. 1–3★ reviews never post without you, period.

Question 2

What happens with a bad review?

Accepted Answer

1–3★ reviews are never auto-answered. They escalate straight to you with a ready "take it offline" draft: apologize, own it, move the conversation to a phone call. You approve, edit, or scrap it from the dashboard; SMS escalation is coming soon. A sentiment pre-check also catches 4–5★ reviews that hide a complaint and escalates those too.

Question 3

Is this allowed by Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReviewRescuer connects through the official Google Business Profile API. We're an approved GBP API partner. Replies post from your profile exactly as if you typed them in Google yourself. No scraping, no browser tricks, nothing against the rules.

Question 4

Will it sound like a bot?

Accepted Answer

No. That's what the voice setup is for. Seven quick questions teach it your sign-off, how formal you are, your catchphrases, whether you mention your crew, and what you'd never say. Replies come out sounding like you wrote them between jobs, not like canned "We appreciate your feedback!" boilerplate.

Question 5

What if it makes something up?

Accepted Answer

It can't post invented details. Every draft runs through a guardrail pipeline: a length check, a banned-phrase check, your never-say list as a hard gate, and a fact guardrail that blocks any reply mentioning names, brands, or details the customer didn't actually write. If a draft fails a gate, it doesn't post.

Question 6

Can I turn it off?

Accepted Answer

One tap. There's a persistent kill switch in the dashboard. Flip it and nothing posts until you flip it back. It stays off until you say otherwise; no timers, no auto-re-enable.

Question 7

What's the SEO and GEO benefit?

Accepted Answer

Responding to reviews is a confirmed local-search ranking signal. Google's own documentation says it shows an active, engaged business, and active profiles rank higher in the local pack and on Maps. Most owners reply to fewer than 40% of reviews; ReviewRescuer takes you to 100%. It pays off twice: AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini read the same profile signals when they recommend local businesses. That's GEO, generative engine optimization, the AI-era complement to SEO.

Question 8

How long is setup?

Accepted Answer

About 5 minutes. Connect your Google Business Profile with one tap, then answer the 7 voice questions. And it's free through September 30. No credit card required.

Question 9

Which platforms does it cover?

Accepted Answer

Google reviews today. That's where local search and Maps rankings live, so it's where replies pay off most. Yelp is planned next.

Question 10

What does it cost? Can I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Free through September 30. No credit card required. After the free period it's $29/mo standalone, or $19/mo if you already use any other Ops Armada product (VoiceInvoicing, VoiceQuoting, or CallRescuer). You can cancel anytime. No contracts, no phone calls.
