Step-by-step guide to the fastest possible review response workflow — from notification to published response in under 60 seconds using Ampli5 Pulse's AI review assistant.
Why This Matters in 2026
Local search drives more customer decisions than any other channel for local businesses. Getting the right tools in place is the difference between growing and guessing.

What Makes a Good AI Response
Ampli5 Pulse AI responses: address the specific review content (not generic); match your configured brand tone; include your business name and optionally city; are warm for positive reviews and professionally empathetic for negative ones; and include a soft return invitation.
When to Take More Than 60 Seconds
Take longer for: detailed negative reviews describing a specific operational failure; reviews making factual claims you want to address carefully; customers you recognise and want to respond to personally.
60 seconds is appropriate for: all positive reviews (4–5 stars); neutral reviews with no specific complaint; most mixed reviews where concern is minor.
