How to reply to a bad review (for businesses)

A calm, useful reply often matters more than the review itself.

General advice only. It isn't legal or financial advice.

Reply quickly

Customers notice when a business answers within a day.

Stay calm and specific

Thank the reviewer, say what went wrong in plain words and what you will do about it.

Move details to a private message

Ask for order details privately, never in public.

Report only real rule breaks

A low rating alone isn't a reason to report. Report reviews that break the rules.
