Google review reply generator

Paste a review, pick a tone, and get a reply drafted in seconds — written specifically for that review, not a canned template. Then you read it, edit it, and post it yourself. This tool never posts anything to Google for you.

Built by Nathan Avery — I build tools for local businesses. Free: 5 drafts per day, no account needed.

0/4000

The review text and your business name are sent to my server to generate the draft, then discarded — that text is never stored (the server keeps only a usage counter), and nothing is posted for you.

Draft reply
Read it before you post — it's your reply, and you're the one clicking Google's post button.

Drafts are written to follow Google's review content policies — review-specific, no profanity, and never offering incentives to change or remove a review. Google moderates owner replies before they publish (Google's own help page says most publish quickly, but it can take up to 30 days in some cases), so always give a draft a human read first.

How it works

Three steps, and you keep control

  1. Paste the review from your Google Business Profile dashboard, along with your business name and the tone you want.
  2. Get a draft written for that specific review — it responds to what the customer actually said instead of spitting out a template.
  3. Copy, edit, and post it yourself in Google's dashboard. The tool never touches your Google account and never posts on your behalf. That's on purpose: your replies are public and permanent, so a human — you — should approve every word.
If you reply to reviews every week

ReplyLocal: the same drafting, inside your Google dashboard

This page is the free web version of ReplyLocal, a browser extension I'm building. Instead of copy-pasting reviews into this page, it adds a "Draft reply" button directly on each review inside the Google Business Profile dashboard.

  • Draft button on every review card — no copy-pasting reviews out of your dashboard
  • Tone and length controls, plus an owner-notes field so drafts include your actual facts
  • 10 free drafts a month on its own meter; unlimited is $9/mo or $49/yr
  • Never auto-posts. You review and click Google's own post button on every single reply
Coming to the Chrome Web Store

Honest status: ReplyLocal is brand-new. I'm a solo developer and it launches with zero users — this page will link the store listing the day it's live.

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this really free?
Yes. You get 5 free drafts per day on this page, with no account and no email required. The limit resets at midnight UTC.
Does this post the reply to Google for me?
No — never. It only writes a draft. You copy it, read it, edit anything you want, and post it yourself inside your own Google Business Profile. Nothing is ever posted on your behalf.
Do you store the review text I paste in?
No. The review text is sent to my server, used to generate the draft, and not stored. The server keeps only a usage counter so the daily free limit works.
Is it against Google's rules to use AI to write a review reply?
Google's review content policies don't prohibit tool-assisted owner replies. Google does moderate owner replies against its content policies before they publish, so the drafts here are written to follow those policies — review-specific, no profanity, and never offering incentives to change or remove a review. You should still read every draft before posting, because you're responsible for what you post.
Who built this?
Nathan Avery — I'm a solo developer in Oklahoma City and I build tools for local businesses. This tool is the free web version of ReplyLocal, a browser extension I'm bringing to the Chrome Web Store.
What is the ReplyLocal browser extension?
It adds a draft button directly inside the Google Business Profile review dashboard, so you don't have to copy and paste reviews into this page. It has its own free tier of 10 drafts per month, and unlimited drafts cost $9/month or $49/year. Like this tool, it never posts anything for you.
