Reputation Management

Online reputation management for service businesses.

dotrevu delivers online reputation management as a managed service for restaurants, salons, and clinics, with monitoring, response drafting, and reporting scoped to the retainer you choose.

A trained reputation team backed by industry-grade software and AI-assisted tools

Almost every customer reads reviews before booking

BrightLocal research shows almost all consumers read online reviews when researching local businesses, and those reviews are their first impression of yours.

Customers read replies as carefully as the original review

Future bookers scan your responses for tone, professionalism, and signs the business takes its customers seriously.

A 1-star review without a reply tells its own story

An unanswered negative review leaves future customers with one side of the story, while a measured reply puts the business back in the conversation.

Why reviews matter

Why reviews matter for
service businesses

Consumer review research shows how customers use reviews when choosing where to eat, where to book a treatment, and which clinic to trust.

Reviews stay unanswered for days

By the time a busy owner notices, the review has been public for hours or days while future customers read down the page.

Tone slips under pressure

A defensive reply written at 9pm after a difficult shift can do more damage than no reply at all.

Operational signals get missed

Without a regular read-through, the useful signals about staff, service, and venue stay buried in feeds nobody is watching.

The gap

Where reputation work goes wrong without
a team behind it

Three things most service businesses recognise once it is too late.

Review monitoring

We track reviews on the platforms in your retainer scope, surfaced to our team and your dashboard as they land.

Response drafting and approvals

On higher retainers, our team drafts responses using AI-assisted tools and human oversight, with approval workflow and turnaround agreed at sign-up.

Reputation reporting

A regular report on ratings, sentiment, response patterns, and the topics customers are raising, at the cadence your retainer sets.

How it works

How dotrevu works for
service businesses

Online reputation management across three pillars, scoped to the retainer that suits your business.

Reviews influence trust

Future customers scan recent reviews and replies before they ever pick up the phone.

Trust influences visibility

Search engines factor review volume, ratings, and engagement into local ranking.

Visibility influences revenue

Local visibility shapes how often a business appears in front of new customers.

Philosophy

How dotrevu thinks
about reputation

Three observations about how customers behave online shape how we approach the work.

We hold this as a way of thinking about the work, with outcomes depending on factors outside any reputation service’s control.

FAQ

Reputation management questions answered

Online reputation management is the practice of monitoring customer reviews, responding to them professionally, and reporting on what they say about a business. dotrevu delivers it as a managed service for restaurants, salons, and clinics, with monitoring, response drafting, and reporting cadence set by the retainer you choose.

Response turnaround depends on the retainer. On retainers that include drafting, reviews receive a drafted reply within the window agreed at sign-up, typically 24 to 48 hours. Drafting uses AI-assisted tools with human oversight, and the approval model is agreed during onboarding.

No. We do not guarantee outcomes around ratings, review volume, bookings, or revenue. Those depend on factors outside any reputation service’s control, including platform algorithms and your wider customer experience. What we commit to is consistent monitoring, prompt response work within scope, and clear reporting.

Reviews involving legal, medical, or potential PR issues are flagged to your team directly so you can handle them yourself or with your own advisor. dotrevu does not provide crisis management, legal, or PR services on any retainer. We focus on standard review work within the agreed scope.

Software hands you a dashboard and leaves you to do the work. dotrevu combines the software with a trained team, AI-assisted tools, and human oversight. Scope and reporting cadence are set by your retainer, so the service flexes to fit the way your business runs.
