Reviews Overview
The Reviews feature in Reputation AI lets you monitor, manage, and respond to customer reviews pulled from connected review sources. Once accounts are connected, reviews are automatically retrieved and organized under one dashboard. This helps you maintain visibility of customer feedback across multiple platforms in one place.
Use the Reviews feature to track your business's reputation, respond to reviews where supported, and export feedback for internal use or reporting. This reduces time spent switching between review platforms.
