## TL;DR

For 4- and 5-star reviews. The generator produces a short reply that uses the reviewer's name, references one specific detail, and skips the marketing voice.

## Overview

The mistake with positive-review replies is over-writing them. This preset caps the output at two sentences and forces a specific reference — the two things that keep replies from sounding automated.

## Quick tips

- Two sentences beats five paragraphs.
- Use the reviewer's name if it's in the review.
- Reference one specific detail — a dish, a stylist, a repair.

## Example replies

### 5-star

> _Review:_ Best haircut in years.

> _Reply:_ Thanks Priya — glad we got it right. Book direct with me next time. — Ellie

### 4-star

> _Review:_ Great food, dessert underwhelming.

> _Reply:_ Cheers Sam — fair on the dessert; new pastry section lands on the 15th. Come back for it, on me. — Marco

### 5-star, short

> _Review:_ Perfect.

> _Reply:_ Cheers Tom — see you soon. — Ellie

## FAQ

### Is it worth replying to every 5-star review?

Yes — reply-rate consistency across every star rating is what feeds the local signal.

### How short can a reply be?

Two sentences. Any shorter and it looks dismissive; any longer and it looks scripted.
