Frequently asked questions!

Does HowdWeDo work with my Google Business Profile?

Yes. Connect your GBP in about 2 minutes and we pull every review automatically. Replies you post inside HowdWeDo show up on your Google listing.
Which review sites can I monitor?

Google, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, and Trustpilot on the Growth and Scale plans. Google-only on Solo. We add new sources regularly — ask if you need a specific one.
How does the AI reply work?

We draft a response in your brand voice using your past replies, your FAQs, and the specifics of the review. You review, edit if needed, and post — usually in under 60 seconds.
Will this help my local map pack ranking?

Review freshness, volume, and reply rate are all documented local-pack signals. HowdWeDo moves all three in the right direction. We won’t promise a specific rank change — Google’s algorithm is their own — but the inputs it rewards get stronger.
How do customers get review requests?

SMS, email, or WhatsApp. Send one at a time, run scheduled campaigns, or fire them automatically from your POS, booking app, or CRM through Zapier.
Can I manage multiple locations?

Yes, on the Scale plan. Add storefronts, assign team members by location, and roll up performance across all of them in one dashboard.
What happens with negative feedback?

A private feedback form on the invite lets unhappy customers tell you first. You fix the issue in private, keep the customer, and your public rating stays cleaner. Nothing is hidden from Google — the customer can still post publicly if they choose.
Is there a free trial?

Yes — Solo and Growth start free, no card required. Scale begins with a short demo call so we can set up multi-location and team roles correctly.
