What is Review Management?

Review management is the practice of monitoring, responding to, and generating customer reviews across platforms like Google, Yelp, and Facebook to build trust and improve rankings.

Why Review Management Matters for Local Businesses

In 2026, 45% of consumers use AI search engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) to find local services — up from just 6% one year ago. Understanding Review Management is essential because it directly affects whether AI recommends your business.

Google organic clicks have dropped 42% since AI Overviews launched. Businesses that ignore AI visibility signals are losing customers to competitors who optimize for them.
