View, Assign, and Respond to Google Reviews

Turn every new Google review into visible, owned work. Filter reviews across locations, assign responsibility, respond with the right level of automation, and track each review through resolution.

Centralized Google review queue for multiple business locations

One operational review queue for every location

Cacao brings Google reviews from connected Business Profiles into one workspace. Corporate teams keep network-wide visibility while regional and local users work only on their assigned locations.

  • View reviews across accounts and locations without opening profiles one by one.
  • Filter by location, response status, date, and supported workflow status.
  • Find unanswered and negative reviews that need attention.

Prioritize the reviews that need action

A shared inbox is useful only when teams can see what requires attention. Cacao helps teams separate routine feedback from unanswered, negative, or sensitive reviews and send each item into the appropriate workflow.

  • Surface unanswered reviews.
  • Prioritize negative feedback and operational exceptions.
  • Keep the original review connected to its location and responsible team.
Corporate regional and local ownership for Google review work

Assign ownership across corporate, regional, and local teams

Assign a review to a person or responsible team so ownership is explicit. Headquarters can retain visibility while regional managers and local operators handle the reviews connected to their locations.

For Google reviews below 4 stars, category-based negative-review alerts select one customer-defined category and email its configured recipient with the review and location information. These notification rules do not grant location access or change response states; an authorized user can then open and manage the review.

For the complete organizational model, see multi-location review management software.

  • Route work to the person or team responsible for the customer experience.
  • Limit users to the locations they are allowed to manage.
  • Escalate sensitive feedback without losing central visibility.
AI-assisted Google review response workflow with human review

Respond with the right level of automation

Teams can respond manually, work from an AI-assisted draft, or use supported automatic, hybrid, and semi-automatic workflows. Sensitive reviews can remain under human control.

Explore the detailed workflow for AI-assisted Google review responses.

Track response approval and publication

Pending and resolved states track the response workflow: a draft awaiting approval remains pending, while a published response is resolved. These states do not record whether the underlying customer issue has been fixed.

  • See which response drafts are still pending approval.
  • Confirm when a response has been published.
  • Report on response activity by location, group, region, or organization.

Turn Google reviews into owned, trackable work

Give every review a clear path from monitoring and assignment to response, resolution, and reporting.
