Rateo automatically collects genuine customer reviews and responds to them with AI, helping your business build and protect a strong reputation, stand out on Google, and win more customers.
Local business owners
Very easy to use. We printed the QR code and put it near the register. Some customers scan it and some don't, but we've definitely gotten more reviews than we were getting before. The automatic responses are also helpful because I don't always have time to sit down and write something for every review.
We've only been using it for about a month but I'm already happier with how we're handling reviews. I especially like that the responses don't sound like giant corporate paragraphs. Most are short enough that they actually make sense for a small business like ours.
We've been using Rateo for a few months now. The biggest difference is consistency. Before, we'd have a great week with five or six reviews and then nothing for three weeks because nobody remembered to ask. Now it's part of our normal checkout process. That's probably more valuable to us than anything else.
