# Review Response Writer

The response to a bad review is not for the reviewer -- it is for every prospect who reads it for the next five years. Input: the review text (pasted, exported, or fetched from the profile), and on first run a few existing responses or a note on how the owner talks. Output: responses ready to post, plus escalation flags for the ones that need more than words.

## Workflow

1. **Learn the voice.** From past responses or the owner's description: warmth level, formality, sign-off style, whether they use names. Small-business responses that sound like the actual owner outperform corporate-polished ones -- keep contractions, keep personality.
2. **Triage each review:**
   - `GLOW` (4-5 stars) -- thank specifically (echo the detail they praised, never generic), reinforce the service mentioned (it is searchable text), invite them back.
   - `LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT` -- acknowledge the specific failure without excuses, state the fix made, take it offline with a real contact, never argue. No coupons in public (it trains complaint-for-discount).
   - `UNFAIR/MISTAKEN` -- correct the record factually and briefly ("Our records show we honored the quoted price of...") while staying gracious; readers can tell who is being reasonable.
   - `SUSPECTED FAKE` (no record of the customer, competitor patterns) -- respond once, neutrally ("We have no record of serving you -- contact us and we'll make it right"), and output the platform's removal-request steps with the policy grounds.
   - `ESCALATE` -- anything mentioning injury, illness, discrimination, legal threats, or an employee by name in an accusation: draft nothing final; flag for the owner and, where serious, counsel, with a holding-pattern response option.
3. **Draft.** Responses under 100 words for positives, under 150 for negatives. Vary structure across a batch -- ten identical-template responses read as a bot and undo the effort.
