Review Replies Cost: Included in Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a Month
Review replies are not sold as a separate plan. They are included in RankSteer's Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a month: a drafted reply for every new review, unhappy reviews always left to the owner.
Updated September 29, 2026.
Review replies are included in Autopilot SEO Core, RankSteer's entry plan at $99 a month per location. They are not sold on their own. For that $99, every new review on your Google Business Profile gets a drafted reply, alongside website SEO fixes, blog content, rank tracking and AI visibility tracking, and unhappy or low rated reviews are always left for you to answer personally.
- Review replies are included in Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a month; there is no separate review replies plan to buy.
- You get a drafted reply for every new review. Unhappy or low rated reviews are always left to the owner, on purpose.
- Autopilot SEO Complete is $349 a month per location and includes review replies too, plus Google Business Profile management and posts on a schedule.
- The drafts are written from the actual review, then handled the same way inside whichever plan you are on.
- The visibility report is free and needs no card, so you can see something before you spend anything.
What the $99 a month actually covers
The short version: review replies are part of a managed plan, not a purchase on their own. Every new review that lands on your Google Business Profile gets a drafted reply, and you get that alongside the rest of the SEO work Core is already doing.
What Autopilot SEO Core, at $99 a month, includes:
- A drafted reply for every new review, not a sample and not just the first few.
- Replies written from the actual review, so they name what the customer mentioned instead of repeating a template line.
- Unhappy and low rated reviews are never auto-replied to. They are flagged and handed to you.
- Website SEO fixes, blog content, rank tracking and AI visibility tracking, all included alongside the review feed.
Core already includes the SEO fixes and blog content that do a similar job to a good review reply: putting real, specific detail about your business where people and AI assistants can read it. What Core does not include is Google Business Profile management, automatic posts or map pack work. That is where Complete comes in.
Autopilot SEO Core vs Complete
Almost everyone asking about review reply pricing is really asking a second question underneath it: does Core cover everything I need, or do I need Complete? Here are the two real plans next to each other.
| Criteria | Autopilot SEO Core | Autopilot SEO Complete |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $99 a month per location | $349 a month per location |
| What it is | Website SEO fixes, blog content, rank tracking, AI visibility tracking, and a review feed with drafted replies. | Everything in Core, plus Google Business Profile management, listing accuracy, service areas, automatic posts and map pack work. |
| Review replies | Included. A drafted reply for every new review. | Included, same as Core. |
| Who does the work | Fully managed. The work is done for you each month. | Fully managed, plus the Google Business Profile work. |
| When it makes sense | You want website SEO, content and review replies handled without profile management. | You also want the profile managed and posted to on a schedule. |
The important line in that table: review replies are included in both plans, so there is no separate review replies purchase to make.
What stays on your desk either way
Every new review gets a drafted reply, on both plans. That is the part that saves the time. The part that protects you is the rule that unhappy or low rated reviews are always left to the owner. A bad review is a business problem before it is a writing problem, and a canned answer to an angry customer usually makes it worse in public.
The drafts are written from the text of each individual review, then reviewed before anything goes live. We say that out loud because you deserve to know what is writing on your behalf, and because it is the reason the unhappy ones are carved out and handed to you instead.
Which is right for you
Pick Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a month if any of this sounds like you:
- You want website SEO fixes, blog content and review replies handled, but you manage your Google Business Profile yourself or do not need posts published to it.
- You want AI visibility tracking without paying for profile management.
- You are starting with one location and want the core work covered first.
Pick Autopilot SEO Complete at $349 a month per location instead if you also want your Google Business Profile managed: listing accuracy, service areas, and posts published to the profile on a schedule.
What review replies will not do
Worth being plain about this.
- It does not make anyone guarantee a ranking, a position, or a number of calls. Nobody honestly can.
- It does not answer an unhappy review for you. That decision is always the owner's, on every plan.
- On its own it is not a full reputation department, but Core and Complete both pair it with the SEO fixes and content that build the same kind of trust.
What it does do is keep your profile looking active with specific, real replies instead of a wall of unanswered five-star reviews next to one angry two-star that never got a response.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do review replies cost?
Review replies are included in Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a month per location. They are not sold separately, and every new review on your Google Business Profile gets a drafted reply.
Do you reply to bad reviews for me?
No, and that is deliberate. Unhappy and low rated reviews are always left to the owner. They get flagged to you with the review in front of you so you can decide whether to call the customer, check the job, or answer publicly. Only positive reviews get a drafted reply.
Are the replies written by AI?
The drafts are generated from the text of each individual review, then reviewed before publishing, which is how every new review can get a specific reply instead of a template. We are upfront about that. It is also the reason unhappy reviews are carved out and handed to you instead.
Will replying to reviews improve my rankings?
We cannot promise rankings, positions, traffic or calls, and nobody honestly can. What replies do is keep your profile looking active and put real service details in text that Google and AI assistants read. It is hygiene and signal, not a guaranteed lever.
Is review replies available without Autopilot SEO?
No. Review replies are included in Autopilot SEO Core at $99 a month per location, and they are included in Complete as well. There is no separate review replies purchase to make.
