Review Sites Allowing Management Responses

Here at Revinate, we pay close attention to each review site's policies and make it as easy as possible for you to respond to reviews. Management responses to online reviews are extremely important, so it shouldn't be difficult!

To use the reply function in Revinate, you must first claim and create your Business Owner Profile with each site. Once you have your login credentials for each site, you can start responding to your reviews.

Note: Revinate can only capture and count public responses in your reports. Private responses cannot be captured and are not in our reporting.  

Here are a few articles which might benefit you:

• A step-by-step guide on how best to respond to a review.
• Instructions on responding to reviews using our Response Assistant.

After submitting your response to a review on any review site, don't forget to click on the 'confirm' button in the Response Assistant Toolbar. By doing this, you are informing Revinate that you have submitted a response so that we can track it. Tracking reviews is crucial so we can see what reviews you have 'responded to' (a response that is not yet live on the review site) versus reviews that have a 'response posted' (meaning that the response you provided is now live on the review site).
