Never lose a review
to a slow reply.

This is Beacon, our review management tool. Below is a real look at how it works: reviews come in, a reply gets drafted, and a running set of insights tells you exactly what to fix. Sample data, for a fictional business.

What to work on
High priority

Reduce wait times, weekday mornings

Medium priority

Improve front parking

5 mentions over 3 months. Post signage to the side lot.

Keep doing

The personal-touch service

18 mentions praising it. Train new hires on the habit.

What they're doing well
Blue Bean

Reviewers consistently praise their weekend live music and outdoor seating.

Grind House

Wide food menu gets called out often, more than just coffee and pastries.

Where they're losing
Blue Bean

Almost 6 in 10 negative reviews mention nobody from the business ever replies.

Grind House

Recurring complaints about slow counter service during the morning rush.

How to beat them

Answer, every time

Neither competitor replies consistently. Keeping your 94% response rate is already your biggest edge, don't let it slip.

Borrow the weekend draw

Blue Bean's live music pulls in reviews. A small weekend event could pull some of that crowd your way.

Fix mornings first

Grind House is losing reviewers to slow service at the same hours you are. Whoever fixes it first wins those customers.
