    1-Star — No Record of Customer

    You can't find any record of the reviewer

    Hi {{reviewer_first_name}}, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We can't find any record of working with you — it's possible this review was meant for another business, or that you used a different name when you visited. Either way, we'd love to clear this up. Could you email us at {{email}}? We'll get to the bottom of it.

    Best practices for replying to reviews

    • Reply within 24–48 hours. Google's algorithm favors active businesses, and customers notice.
    • Use the reviewer's name. "Thanks, Sarah" reads warmer than "Dear customer."
    • Reference a specific detail. Even one phrase from their review shows you actually read it.
    • Take negatives offline. Acknowledge publicly, then move the conversation to email or phone.
    • Never argue in public. Future customers are reading your reply more than the original review.
    • Naturally mention your service + city in Google replies. It's an SEO win without sounding spammy.
