Automating your Google review responses with a tool like BFN-AI can improve your restaurant's reputation, but it doesn't directly increase your rating.

However, it boosts user engagement with your Google Business profile, which can indirectly impact your ranking by building trust and credibility.

What it does is ensure you respond quickly and professionally to reviews, leading to better customer satisfaction and more positive reviews over time. It also has a direct influence on bookings, as diners often read reviews and responses before deciding where to eat.

Consistent engagement shows customers you value their feedback, which can increase bookings. This is especially important when addressing negative reviews—well-written, empathetic responses can greatly reduce their negative impact.

In fact, a 2024 BrightLocal survey found that 62% of consumers are more likely to forgive a negative review if the business responds appropriately, helping to restore trust and protect your restaurant's reputation.
