Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the platform, Google connection safety, review automation, and pricing.

#General

What is Busirank?▼

Busirank is an AI-powered Google Business Profile management and local SEO platform. We help businesses and marketing agencies automate review responses, generate and schedule Google Posts, track local ranking analytics, and scale their local search presence from one centralized dashboard.

Do I need technical skills or coding knowledge to use Busirank?▼

Not at all. Busirank is designed for busy business owners, marketing managers, and agencies. Connecting your Google Business Profile takes 30 seconds with one click, and our intuitive interface guides you through every step.

How is Busirank different from generic social media tools?▼

Generic social media schedulers treat Google Business Profile as an afterthought, often missing Google-specific features like instant sentiment analysis, CTA buttons, offer start/end dates, review response approvals, and local Map Pack analytics. Busirank is purpose-built exclusively for Google Business Profile and Local SEO.

#Google Business Profile Connection

How does Busirank connect to my Google Business Profile?▼

We connect securely using Google's official sign-in system. You simply authorize access with your Google account, and your locations and customer reviews sync automatically without sharing any passwords.

Is Busirank compliant with Google's terms of service?▼

Yes, 100%. We only use Google's official, approved connection and strictly follow Google's content policies and review guidelines. Your account safety and local reputation are our top priority.

What permissions does Busirank require?▼

We request standard permissions to manage your business listings: viewing and posting customer review replies, publishing Google Posts, and reading performance analytics.

#Reviews & AI Replies

How do AI review replies work?▼

When a customer posts a review, our AI analyzes the star rating, emotional tone, and specific topics mentioned (e.g. food, speed, price). It then drafts a tailored, empathetic response in your configured brand voice. You can approve drafts with one click or configure automatic posting rules.

Can I set rules so negative reviews are never replied to automatically?▼

Yes! In fact, we recommend configuring human approval for reviews under 4 stars. This ensures sensitive complaints are reviewed by a manager, while routine 5-star praise can be responded to instantly.

Does the AI support multiple languages?▼

Yes. If a tourist or customer leaves a review in Spanish, French, German, or Japanese, the AI automatically detects the language and drafts a polite, grammatically perfect response in that same language.

#Google Posts & Scheduling

What types of Google Posts can I schedule?▼

You can schedule 'What's New' general updates, 'Offer' posts with start/end dates and coupon codes, and 'Event' posts with specific times and direct booking buttons.

Can I publish the same post to multiple locations at once?▼

Yes. Our multi-location scheduler lets you compose a single promotional post and broadcast it across dozens of branch locations with localized city or neighborhood tags.

Can I add Call-To-Action buttons to scheduled posts?▼

Yes, you can choose from Google-supported action buttons including 'Book', 'Order Online', 'Buy', 'Learn More', 'Sign Up', and 'Call Now'.

#Analytics & Reports

What metrics can I track with Busirank?▼

You can monitor profile search impressions (Direct vs. Discovery vs. Google Maps), customer actions (Phone calls, Driving directions, Website clicks), review ratings and volume over time, and sentiment breakdown.

Can I generate white-label PDF reports for my clients?▼

Yes, Agency and Enterprise plans include full white-label reporting. You can upload your own agency logo, set brand colors, and schedule automatic monthly PDF report delivery to client emails.

#Pricing & Plans

Is there a free trial available?▼

Yes! We offer a full-featured 14-day free trial on Starter, Professional, and Agency plans. No credit card is required to sign up and get started.

Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime?▼

Yes, you can change your subscription tier or cancel your account at any time with zero cancellation fees or lock-in contracts.

What happens if I manage more locations than my plan limit?▼

You can easily add additional location add-ons at a discounted per-location monthly rate directly from your billing settings without needing to jump whole plan tiers.

#For Agencies

Can I separate my agency clients into different workspaces?▼

Yes, the Agency plan features multi-client sub-accounts. Each client's locations, team members, review drafts, and reports remain strictly isolated from one another.

Can clients approve review replies without seeing our agency dashboard?▼

Yes, you can generate client approval magic links where clients can preview and approve pending review drafts and scheduled posts without logging in.
