The Reviews channel combines customer reputation with broader brand mentions and press coverage. Its tabs form one workflow from owned listings to earned authority.

Reviews

  • Reviews — monitor volume, rating, movement, and recent feedback.
  • Directories — review presence and consistency across important listing sources.
  • Acquisition — organize the process for requesting new reviews.
  • Respond — prepare responses that follow the site’s saved brand voice.

Earned visibility

  • Mentions — discover public references to the brand.
  • Press — focus on editorial and media coverage.
  • Citation Gap — find sources that mention competitors or relevant topics but not your brand.

A healthy reputation routine

  1. Confirm the correct business identity and review sources during onboarding.
  2. Triage recent negative or high-impact reviews.
  3. Draft a response, verify its facts, and publish through the appropriate source.
  4. Track recurring themes instead of treating every review as an isolated event.
  5. Use Citation Gap to prioritize credible outreach and evidence-building opportunities.

Response guidance

  • Acknowledge the reviewer’s actual experience.
  • Do not disclose private account or customer details.
  • Avoid arguing or inventing facts to defend the business.
  • Move complex resolution to a private support channel.
  • Keep positive-review replies specific and human.
Review and mention coverage varies by connected source, market, and plan. A quiet feed can mean no recent matches, an incomplete connection, or a source that Cleo cannot read directly.
