But let’s be real: Likes don't pay rent.
You know what pays rent? The guy searching "Tacos open now" on Google Maps.
You know what kills rent? The 1-star review on DoorDash that pushes a store down to page 2.
The "Trinity" Trap
We see incredible kitchens fail because they ignore the digital reality. They get trapped in what we call the "Tablet Hell":
- Google Maps: The beast. If you don't feed it replies, it thinks you're closed.
- Yelp: The bully. Ignore it, and only the haters speak up.
- DoorDash: The silent killer. A rating drop of 0.1 stars can cut delivery volume by 20%.
Most owners ignore these. Why? Because the DoorDash tablet is buried under a stack of receipts.
Silence is Expensive
The most common excuse we hear: "I'm too busy cooking to reply."
We get it. But here is the hard truth: When you don't reply, the customer thinks you don't care. When you don't reply, the algorithm ranks you lower.
A simple "Thanks, glad you liked it" is a heartbeat. It tells the platform: This business is alive.
The 10-Minute Fix
You don't need a social media manager. You need a workflow.
That's why we built ReviewReport. We didn't build it for "Engagement metrics". We built it to unify Google, Yelp, and DoorDash into one screen.
So you can sit down on Monday morning with your coffee, see the noise, click "Generate Reply", and be done.
Your reputation is managed before you even unlock the front door.
Stop chasing likes. Start chasing the people who are actually trying to order dinner.
