Frequently asked questions

How many Google reviews does a real estate agency in San Francisco need?
Median in San Francisco is 77 reviews. To rank in the top 25% of businesses in your category, aim for at least twice that — around 154 reviews.
How do I get from 4.0 to 4.6 stars on Google?
Two levers: systematically request reviews from happy customers (QR code at the point of service works best) and intercept unhappy feedback privately before it becomes a public 1-star review. Our pilot customer Sakura Hagen went from 4.0 to 4.6 in 6 weeks this way.
Is AI auto-reply to Google reviews GDPR-compliant?
Yes — provided data is processed in the EU and no customer PII beyond what Google already displays publicly is used. Starise meets both standards.
How much does review management cost?
Starise Standard is $59/month per location including unlimited AI replies, QR code, and dashboard. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
How fast will my Google rating improve?
Typically 4-8 weeks. Speed depends on your customer volume and starting rating. Lower starting scores improve fastest.
