It landed at 8:40 on a Friday, mid-rush. You left it for tomorrow, and tomorrow it joined the pile you never got back to. Here, by the time you can look at your phone, the reply is already written: approve it, edit it, or ask for another.

Walked in on a Saturday at nine with no reservation and still waited 40 minutes for a table. Nobody seemed to care that we were standing there. Terrible.

Thanks for writing, and I'm sorry the wait cost you your night. On a Saturday at nine without a reservation the line for a table is real — it wasn't anyone brushing you off. If you come back, book ahead and I'll have a table ready when you walk in.
ApproveThe two possible paths, side by side.
Positive review, with or without text (including the ones that come with only stars).
Generated response
Written in the review's language, in the tone you configured, with your signature.
Critical review, with or without text.
Generated response
Written the same way — in the review's language, in the configured tone, with your signature — but held in the queue until you decide.
You sign in with the restaurant's Google account and grant Revyoo the permission to manage the profile. Without that permission there is no reading a review and no publishing a reply: it is the thing that makes any of this work.
With that access, Revyoo reads the reviews that come in, publishes the replies, and, on the Pro plan, publishes posts to the profile (text only, no photos). Nothing beyond that. And you pull the access whenever you want, from your own Google account.
Every 30 minutes it checks for new reviews. The 4- and 5-star ones go out answered. The 1-, 2-, and 3-star ones wait in a queue for you to approve, edit, or ask for another. Not one of them goes live without you.

Start free, no credit cardIt doesn't go live. A 1-, 2-, or 3-star review stops in an approval queue until you decide: approve it as written, edit it, ask for a different reply, or reject it. You are the one who publishes.
The replies are written by AI, and that isn't hidden. But you pick the tone — formal, friendly, or casual — write out what Revyoo needs to know about the restaurant, give it instructions like “never offer a discount,” and set the signature. On the negative ones, you read it before it goes out.
That is exactly what makes answering by hand expensive: a three-paragraph review can't be dispatched with a thank-you. Revyoo drafts the reply from the review itself, in the same language it was written in, using the context and the instructions you set. Four and five stars go out on their own. Anything lower, you read first.
There is nothing to install. You sign in with the Google account, pick which business to connect, and set the tone. Name, address, category, and current rating are imported from Google automatically.
You do, and it is the permission to manage the profile. Without it there is no reading a review and no publishing a reply. You revoke it whenever you want, from your Google account.
That works too, for as long as you remember. ChatGPT doesn't know a new review arrived, doesn't know the history of the place, and doesn't publish to Google. Four manual steps, every time, forever. This is the same text without the four steps.
Different job. Their headline product is asking your customers for reviews, and Revyoo does not do that at all. It never sends a text, an email, or a link asking anyone to leave a review. What it does is write the replies and publish them, with 1 to 3 stars held for your approval. On list price, Birdeye is $299 a month and Podium is $399. Revyoo's Starter plan is $29.
No. It replies to the reviews that come in, and only the ones on Google. It doesn't send a text or a link asking a customer to rate you, and it doesn't connect to Yelp, TripAdvisor, Facebook, or Instagram.
We don't promise that, and be wary of anyone who does. Google itself says that replying to reviews can help a business stand out, but it does not list replying as a ranking factor. What Revyoo guarantees is something else: no review sits unanswered, and no negative one is answered without you seeing it.
Nothing extra is charged by default. If you want to keep replying above the limit, you turn overage on and set a monthly cap: only then do you pay $0.10 per extra review up to that cap. Not turned on, not charged. No surprise invoice.
