FAQ

Questions about the reply library

Yes. Copy any example and use it as a starting point. Edit the specifics to match your customer, team, and business before posting publicly. For teams that want to skip copy-paste entirely, the Localith platform drafts replies to every incoming review automatically, tuned to your brand voice.
Swap the generic language for a detail the customer mentioned, add your business name, and reference anything specific to the visit. That small edit makes the reply read as genuine instead of copy-paste. For teams handling hundreds of reviews a month, the AI Review Reply Agent automates this personalization at scale.
Start with one that matches the issue the customer raised, waiting time, product defect, or service quality. The goal is to acknowledge the specific problem and outline what you will do next. For a deeper playbook, read how to respond to negative Google reviews.
This library is curated examples you can copy and adapt. The AI Review Response Generator drafts a reply tailored to a specific review you paste in. Both are free and work together well.
