Reputation Intelligence

Understand the reputation signals shaping customer trust.

Reputation is more than a rating. Track sentiment, response behavior, and the themes shaping how customers perceive your business.

The full picture

What is Reputation Intelligence?

Reputation Intelligence is the wider lens on how your business is perceived — not just your star rating, but the whole picture customers form before they ever call. It pulls together review sentiment, response behavior, recurring positive themes, and early warning signs across the sources that matter, then translates them into a plain-language read on where your reputation is strengthening and where it's slipping.

When a pattern starts forming — a run of comments about a specific location, a shift in tone after a menu change, a quiet dip in response consistency — you hear about it before it turns into a trend on Google. Staff and service mentions are surfaced so you know who's being praised and what's being flagged, which becomes some of the best coaching data your business has.

It's the difference between checking your ratings once a month and actually understanding the story customers are telling about your business every week. For owners with multiple locations, the same view rolls up so you can see which shops are climbing, which are dragging, and where a manager could use backup.

Reputation health

A composite view of how your reputation is trending across the sources that matter.

Location health status

Every location carries a live status — healthy, stale, or needs attention — based on activity in the last 7 to 14 days plus critical signals like connection issues or reply failures. You know at a glance which shops are running clean and which need someone this week.

Sentiment movement

Track how customer sentiment is shifting week over week, by location or service.

Response rate & reply audit

Understand how consistently your team is engaging with customers publicly, with a full audit log distinguishing AI replies from manual ones so accountability is never in doubt.

Negative trend alerts

Get notified when a pattern is forming — not after the fifth one-star review.

Copy-paste review spam detection

Automated detection flags coordinated or duplicate review activity across your listings so you can dispute it fast with the platform, instead of finding out three months later that a competitor bought a review farm.

How the AI internet sees you

As customers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and other answer engines for local recommendations, we track how your business is described by those models — because being missing or misrepresented there is the new version of not showing up on Google.

Positive themes

Know what's working so you can double down and reinforce it.

Staff & service mentions

See who and what customers are naming — the best coaching data your business has.

How it works

From signal to action.

  1. Step 1

    Aggregate

    Reviews, feedback, ratings, response behavior, and listings signals flow in from every connected source.

  2. Step 2

    Score

    A composite Reputation Health score is calculated from volume, sentiment mix, ratings trend, and response consistency — and each location gets its own live health status.

  3. Step 3

    Detect

    Pattern detection watches for negative streaks, sentiment shifts, quiet response gaps, and coordinated review spam before they become trends.

  4. Step 4

    Explain

    Every movement is translated into a plain-language reason — not just a red or green arrow.
