“Terrible service, never coming back. Waited 3 hours and the tech didn’t fix the problem.”

"Decent work but took longer than expected…"
"Price was too high for what we got…"
97% of customers read business responses to reviews. When there's no response, they assume you don't care — and they go to your competitor.
The average local business has 14 unanswered reviews right now. At an average ticket of $200, that's $2,800 in revenue sitting on the table, ignored.
You don't have time to monitor 8 platforms, write professional responses, and run your business. That's exactly why we built Starpio.

“I had 23 unanswered reviews going back 8 months. Starpio responded to all of them in the first hour. Three customers came back and updated their ratings.”
