How They Respond to Reviews

43%response rate
Generic

The owner relies heavily on standardized templates for positive reviews, often using identical phrasing across different users. While they provide a more structured, professional response to negative reviews by offering a direct contact number, they rarely address specific criticisms within the text of the response.
