What's included

  • Asking customers for reviews

    Review requests through QR cards, NFC cards, email, SMS and LINE, using neutral wording and without filtering customers by satisfaction.

  • Bilingual response management

    We draft replies in Thai or English to match the review, with owner approval where required.

  • Monthly monitoring & reporting

    Track new reviews, ratings, reply rates and response times. Reports cover recurring feedback, branch comparisons and competitor benchmarks.

  • Branch coordination and training

    Monitor branches in one place, agree reply standards and give managers clear steps for routine reviews and serious complaints.

  • Customer photos and videos

    Plan how to ask customers for photos, short videos and posts that share their experience of your business.

  • Custom tracking

    Track links and QR or NFC cards by branch and source, with the results included in your monthly report.

Give your team a clear process for managing reviews

A review link or a QR card gives customers somewhere to leave feedback. Your team also needs to know when to ask, how to respond and who should handle a complaint.

In our work with hotels, restaurants, clinics, salons, tyre shops and franchise groups, we often find that these responsibilities have been left with a branch manager without enough guidance.

We put those steps in place: neutral review requests, Thai and English replies, a named person for complaints and a monthly review of recurring feedback. That feedback can help your team improve service and keep profile information up to date.

What customers learn from your reviews

Reviews help people decide whether your business suits them. Comments about clear pricing, parking, service or language support answer questions that a star rating alone cannot.

We look at the feedback alongside review numbers, recent activity and your replies. Recurring praise shows what customers appreciate; repeated complaints give your team something specific to investigate.

Customer photos, short videos and posts can also show people what to expect. We include these in the discussion where they suit your business, alongside written reviews.

Workflow

How we handle a negative review

We check the complaint with your team and agree on a response. Replies to negative reviews need owner approval before publishing.

  1. 1

    Acknowledge the complaint

    Aim to respond within 24 hours where possible. Address the concern calmly and keep private customer details out of the public reply.

  2. 2

    Follow up directly

    Use phone, email or LINE to collect the booking reference, visit date or order details and understand what happened.

  3. 3

    Address recurring problems

    If several reviews mention slow service, confusing prices or unclear parking directions, we flag the pattern in the monthly report so your team can investigate and make changes.

Other customers can read the reply too. A clear, considerate response helps them understand how your business handles a problem.

Working with customers in Thailand

Thai and English replies

We draft replies in Thai or English to match the review.

Follow-up through familiar channels

We plan follow-up around the channels you already use with customers, including LINE Official Account and WhatsApp where appropriate.

Local customers, tourists and expats

These customers may describe different experiences or need different information. We track those differences in the feedback.

Support for branch managers

We train branch teams on asking for reviews and passing on complaints, while our team manages the agreed response process.

A process that fits each location

We discuss your locations, customers and team responsibilities before agreeing the work.

Who this is for

  • Restaurants & cafés

    Review requests at the counter, feedback on dishes and service, and questions about dietary needs or reservations.

  • Hotels & serviced apartments

    Review requests after checkout, cards in rooms, and follow-up by email or LINE. Track Google reviews separately from booking-platform reviews.

  • Clinics & wellness

    Handle sensitive complaints carefully, protect customer privacy in replies, and agree how before-and-after content can be used.

  • Service-area & franchises

    Coordinate reviews across branches, provide QR cards for service visits, and keep reply standards and reporting consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Can we ask customers to mention our service or branch in their review?

We use a neutral request and leave customers to describe their own experience. We do not ask them to include particular services, locations or ratings.

Do you reply in Thai and English?

Yes. Our team drafts Thai replies to Thai reviews and English replies to English reviews.

How fast do replies go out?

Within 24 hours as our standard, faster for serious complaints. Negative replies always get owner sign-off before publishing.

Can you help us remove a bad review?

We can help you assess whether a review violates Google’s policy and explain how to flag it through Google’s official process. We do not offer review removal as a paid service or promise that Google will remove it.

Do you handle multi-location and franchise groups?

Yes. We provide central monitoring, consistent reply standards, reports for each branch and training for branch managers. We also agree who should handle serious complaints.
