SMTAK helps you answer every review and collect more with QR and WhatsApp campaigns. Built on Google's tips for local ranking ## Replying by hand wears you out. SMTAK doesn't. The difference between chasing every review yourself and a system officially connected to Google that watches your branches, drafts the reply and flags what's sensitive. Without SMTAK - Reviews sit for days without a reply, and the next customer reads the silence first. - Cold, copied replies tell the customer nobody really read them. - An angry review left unanswered, or a defensive reply that makes it worse in front of every new visitor. - Hours every day spent checking each branch one by one. With SMTAK - A reply that understands the visit, ready for you as soon as the review reaches the platform, approved in one tap. - It greets the customer by name and mentions their visit, in a voice that sounds like you. - Sensitive cases reach you as an alert, with a draft that takes the conversation private before it grows. - Your time comes back: replies get drafted and kept in order instead of chased. ## Choose the plan that fits your growth Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no card needed, and connects your branches on Google Maps directly.

SMTAK is a Saudi platform for automatic AI replies to Google Maps reviews in your brand voice, in Arabic or English. Connect your Google Business Profile to manage location reviews, replies and reports in one dashboard. You enable automatic publishing and choose your review rules. ### Which businesses is SMTAK suitable for? Any business whose reputation drives its footfall: restaurants, cafés, clinics, salons, shops and service providers — whether you run a single location or a chain. ### Do I need to install hardware or software? No. SMTAK is a ready cloud platform: connect your Google profile, add your locations and enable smart replies — all managed from one dashboard in Arabic or English. ### What is the SMTAK app for replying to Google Maps reviews? The SMTAK app for iPhone and iPad lets existing account holders follow their Google Maps reviews, generate AI reply drafts, review and approve replies, and read reputation reports. Publishing to Google requires a connected Business Profile. The app is not yet available to the public on the App Store; a download link will be added when it is. You can use the web platform now. ### Is the connection official and within Google's policies? Yes. The connection uses Google's official Business Profile integration with management access only, never your password and never unofficial tools, and every reply is published as the verified owner. ### What happens if a customer leaves an angry or negative review? When reviews sync, negative feedback is flagged, you get an alert inside the platform, and a calm draft is prepared inviting the customer to contact you privately. By default, replies to one-to-three-star reviews wait for your approval unless you explicitly enable reply-to-every-rating. Even then, critical or sensitive cases still wait for a person. ### How do you keep replies distinctive and on-brand? You can configure your brand tone and preferred dialect for each location. Replies adapt to the context of each review and your guidelines, with the option to review and approve every reply before publication. ### How long does it take to connect my account and locations? Connecting is straightforward: sign in with the Google account managing your business listings and grant the required permissions to load your authorized locations into the dashboard. ### Are replies automatic, and can I review low ratings first? Yes, after you enable automatic publishing. You can hold one-to-three-star replies for review while four- and five-star replies publish automatically, or enable reply-to-every-rating. You can also review every reply manually. Critical or sensitive reviews, and reviews whose stars contradict their text, still require human review even with reply-to-every-rating enabled. ### Can SMTAK delete negative reviews? SMTAK cannot delete a customer's Google review. Its author can edit or delete it, and Google may remove reviews that violate its policies after assessment. SMTAK helps you monitor and reply to reviews. You can report a policy violation from your Business Profile, but removal is not guaranteed. ### Does replying to reviews help my ranking on Google Maps? Helpful replies show customers that you care and help them assess your business. Google recommends responding to reviews, but replying alone does not guarantee a ranking improvement. Local results mainly depend on relevance, distance and prominence, including review information. SMTAK organizes monitoring and replies; it does not guarantee a position in Search or Maps. ## Your name is built every day. Start today.
