How to Set Review Responses for Bulk Listings in GMB Briefcase

Managing customer reviews across multiple business locations can be challenging, but with GMB Briefcase, you can streamline the process using its bulk listings feature. This guide explains how to set up review responses for bulk listings, saving you time while ensuring consistent and professional communication with your customers.

Customer reviews are vital for maintaining a business's online reputation. Whether positive or negative, responding to reviews shows that you value customer feedback and are committed to improving their experience. With multiple locations, responding to reviews manually can become overwhelming. That’s where the bulk response feature in GMB Briefcase becomes a game-changer.

Step 1: Log in to Your GMB Briefcase Account

2. Use filters to narrow down listings by region, rating, or review type (positive, neutral, or negative).

Step 3: Create Your Response Templates

1. Go to the "Review Response Templates" section.

2. Craft templates for different review types. For example:

   • Neutral Reviews: "Thank you for your feedback. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and your comments are invaluable to us."

   • Negative Reviews: "We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Please contact us at [Contact Info] so we can make things right."

3. Save your templates for future use.

Step 4: Apply Templates to Bulk Listings
