4. Provide context: If the review contains specific feedback, provide context and we explain how we plan to address the issue. For example, if a customer has raised a concern about your business hours, we can provide an explanation and assure them that you are working to improve the situation.
5. Show appreciation: We end the response by thanking the reviewer for their feedback and expressing your appreciation for their business.
