Sample audit

See what the free Reputation Gap Report looks like.

This sample shows the kind of practical readout RepstackHQ prepares from public Google review activity before any paid work starts.

No Google password. No payment. Public-profile review only. First readout target: within 1 business day.
What the audit found

A loved restaurant with a quiet owner-response rhythm.

Guests are already saying strong things about food, service, value, and atmosphere. The issue is not reputation quality. The visible gap is that many recent positive reviews are not acknowledged, so the profile can look less actively managed than nearby competitors.

Risk screen

Escalate what should not be answered casually.

  • Privacy-sensitive, legal, HR, safety, medical, and high-emotion complaints should be flagged before drafting.
  • Public replies should avoid arguing facts, diagnosing issues, or asking reviewers to reveal private details.
  • This sample profile showed no immediate crisis flags, but the workflow still keeps escalation in place.
First-fix punch list

What the report turns into.

1

Answer the newest positive reviews first.
Start where the business already has momentum. Thank guests for specific details instead of posting generic replies.

2

Create a weekly approval batch.
Batching replies keeps the owner out of daily busywork while still making the profile look cared for.

3

Echo real customer language.
Use recurring themes like menu favorites, hospitality, speed, cleanliness, and repeat visits.

4

Handle low-star reviews calmly.
Acknowledge the experience, avoid public arguments, and move sensitive details to a private channel.

Sample reply direction

Approval-ready, not auto-posted.

The audit does not just point at a problem. It shows the tone and structure of the first approval batch so the business can decide whether the workflow feels right.

Thank you for the kind words. We are glad the curried shrimp hit the mark, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it. We would love to welcome you back again soon.
Approval workflow

Nothing posts without sign-off.

1. Review appears

RepstackHQ checks the public Google profile and queues the review.

2. Draft prepared

The response is written in the business voice and screened for risk.

3. Client approves

The business can approve, tweak, skip, or escalate.

4. Reply posts

Only approved replies are published to Google.

  • Profiles that look strong but quiet, stale, or uneven.
