A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.

The job
Reply to Google reviews
Tool(s)
ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini
Time saved
5-10 minutes per review (estimate). My rough estimate, not a measured result.

The prompt

Write a reply to this Google review for my [business]. Review: [paste]. If positive: thank them by name and mention something specific. If negative: acknowledge, don't argue, offer to fix it offline with [contact]. Under 80 words, warm and genuine.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.

Steps

  1. Paste the review.
  2. Run the prompt.
  3. Add a personal detail only you'd know.
  4. Post the reply.

My verdict

Great for negative reviews when you're annoyed. Let AI be calm for you.
