Foursquare
Foursquare review reply templates
Foursquare skews younger, more local, and more casual than Google. Tips are often photos, check-ins, or one-liners. These templates keep replies short, social, and specific — the three things that work on Foursquare.
Foursquare reply rules
- Foursquare tips and reviews are public and tied to venues.
- Replies should be short — long corporate responses look out of place.
- No spam, promotions, or repeated copy-paste replies.
- Tips can include photos and check-ins; reference those when relevant.
- Flag inappropriate content through Foursquare; don't argue publicly.
Tone notes
Short, social, and neighbourhood-aware. Foursquare users read replies the way they read tweets — fast. Get to the point and sound human.

1. 5-star tip
Review
"Best espresso in Brooklyn. Get the almond croissant."
Reply
"Cheers — the almond croissant is our quiet hero. See you next time. — Sofia"
2. 3-star, food was okay
Review
"Cute spot but the burger was just okay."
Reply
"Hi — fair on the burger. New patty blend drops next week; come back and let us know if it's better. — Marco"
3. 1-star, service
Review
"Waited forever for a table even with a reservation."
Reply
"Hi — that's not the reservation experience we want. DM us the date and we'll sort it. — Sofia, owner"
4. Wrong hours
Review
"Came at 10am and you were closed."

"Hi — we open at 11am Tue-Sun. Sorry for the wasted trip. Coffee's on us if you swing by after 11. — Sofia"
5. Fake / check-in only
Review
"Worst place ever (no details, no check-in)."
Reply
"Hi — we can't match this to a visit. If you did come in, message us and we'll make it right. — Sofia"
6. Follow-up visit
Review
"Came back and the burger was much better."
Reply
"Glad round two landed — thanks for giving us another shot. — Marco"
FAQ
- Should I reply to every Foursquare tip?
- Reply to tips with text or photos, especially if they're negative or ask a question. A simple 'thanks' on a brief 5-star tip is enough.
- Can I offer a discount in a Foursquare reply?
- Avoid promotions. Foursquare penalises spammy behaviour and users dislike marketing in replies.
- How is Foursquare different from Google reviews?
- Foursquare tips are shorter, more social, and often photo-driven. The same reply principles apply, but the tone should be more casual.
