Hey community 👋

Building Upraise — an AI-powered Google review management tool for independent local businesses (cafés, restaurants, salons, shops). The problem we kept finding: local business owners are losing customers to competitors purely because of their Google rating — bad reviews going unanswered, fake reviews dragging down their score, no system for getting more genuine reviews. What we’re building: → AI drafts replies to every review automatically → Flags reviews violating Google’s policies for removal → Gets more genuine reviews coming in → Turns 5-star reviews into social media posts Had 30+ business owners in one day tell us this is a real problem they face. Now building the MVP. Would love feedback from anyone who’s sold to local SMBs or built in this space — what were your biggest lessons early on? Waitlist 👉 https://www.getupraise.com 🙌”
