How To Automate Google Business Page Responses

If you have a business that receives a lot of reviews/ratings on your Google Business Page per month, you can now automate ChatGPT responses to positive ratings and/or get an email notification whenever you receive a negative rating.

                                        1. Add Action: Search and select Gmail (or your email service provider)

                                                    • Subject: you may write ‘New Negative Google Review’ or something to that effect

                                          Having those two workflows setup saves you a lot of time and energy from replying to each and every review you receive. And in the event that you get a negative review (low rating), you or your customer service representative will be notified so you can then apply your SOP’s to handle those negative reviews. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to do and if you are generating a lot of reviews monthly, your money spent will be worthwhile.
