How it works.

River gathers your new reviews, writes each person a short reply that names what they loved, and posts them all after one go-ahead. Complaints come with a suggested fix for you to decide.

  1. Tell River what’s off-limits

    Refunds, discounts or anything you’d rather decide yourself. River won’t promise them.

  2. River answers each reviewer

    By first name, naming the exact thing they loved, or owning a problem without arguing.

  3. Replies live, themes on top

    Each reply goes up where the review lives, and the month’s themes show what people keep mentioning.

What you get.

  • A personal reply posted to every new review on Google, Yelp and your store
  • A Reviews Sheet with each review, its reply and the month’s themes on top
  • A suggested fix for each complaint, with a private message drafted where allowed

A few things to know.

Which review sites does it cover?

Google Business Profile, Yelp, Etsy, Shopify and Square. River finds where your reviews live from your website and the accounts you’re signed in to.

How does it handle a bad review?

It acknowledges the problem without arguing, keeps order and personal details out of public view, and invites the person to reach you directly. It never asks anyone to change a review.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. Replies go out through the Google, Yelp and store accounts you already run.
