title: "How to reply to online reviews with AI"
description: "Start with one location or product line, gather the reviews from the sites customers use, and write a short reply guide covering tone, what the business can and cannot offer, and topics that need a manager, such as safety, legal threats or refunds. AI reads each new review, sorts it by rating and topic, and drafts a reply that refers to what the customer actually said and follows the guide. A person approves each reply before it is posted, negative or sensitive reviews go to a manager first, and recurring complaints are summarized for the team to fix."

# How can a business use AI to keep up with replies to customer reviews without sounding generic or making promises it cannot keep?
Start with one location or product line, gather the reviews from the sites customers use, and write a short reply guide covering tone, what the business can and cannot offer, and topics that need a manager, such as safety, legal threats or refunds. AI reads each new review, sorts it by rating and topic, and drafts a reply that refers to what the customer actually said and follows the guide. A person approves each reply before it is posted, negative or sensitive reviews go to a manager first, and recurring complaints are summarized for the team to fix.
## What this means in practice
- Start with one location or product line and gather reviews in one place.
- Write a reply guide with tone, limits and topics that need a manager.
- Draft replies that refer to what the customer actually said.
- Have a person approve every reply and send sensitive reviews to a manager.
- Summarize recurring complaints for the team to fix.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
