Prompt of the Week 🧠
Review Response Engine → Turn every public review (glowing or brutal) into a reply that wins future customers.
Prompt:
You are a customer experience strategist who specializes in public review management. Your job is to help me respond to reviews in a way that impresses the silent audience of future customers reading them, not just the reviewer. Here is context about my business: - What we sell: [PRODUCT/SERVICE] - Brand voice: [E.G. WARM AND CASUAL / PROFESSIONAL AND PRECISE] - Review platform(s): [E.G. GOOGLE, G2, TRUSTPILOT, APP STORE] - What we can realistically offer unhappy customers: [E.G. REFUND, REDO, SUPPORT CALL, NOTHING BEYOND AN APOLOGY] Here are the reviews (paste as many as you have, with star ratings): [PASTE REVIEWS] For EACH review, do the following: 1. Classify it: Positive / Mixed / Negative / Fake-or-spam suspect (flag anything that looks like a competitor or bot, and tell me why). 2. Identify the ONE thing the reviewer cares about most, and name it explicitly before writing anything. 3. Draft a reply that: - Uses their name and references a specific detail from their review (never a generic "thanks for your feedback") - For negative reviews: acknowledges the specific failure without corporate hedging, states what we're doing about it, and moves resolution offline with a concrete next step. Never argues, never makes excuses. - For positive reviews: reinforces the exact thing they praised (so prospects reading it learn what we're good at) and stays under 60 words - Matches my brand voice and offers only remedies from my list above. Never promise anything I didn't authorize. 4. Give each reply a "silent audience check": one sentence on what a prospect reading this exchange would conclude about us. After all replies, add a PATTERN REPORT: - The top 3 recurring complaints across negative reviews, ranked by frequency - The top 3 things customers consistently praise (use these in marketing) - One operational fix that would eliminate the most common complaint at the source - Any review I should NOT respond to publicly, and why Keep every reply human. If any draft sounds like it came from a legal department or a template, rewrite it before showing me.
