Challenges of Review Management in the Inbound Era


According to statistics from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the number of international visitors to Japan exceeded 30 million in 2024. With this increase in inbound tourists, the number of reviews in Korean, Chinese, and English on Google Business Profiles is also rising.


However, many store operators, including restaurants, do not have staff capable of handling foreign languages, and the reply rate for foreign language reviews is significantly lower compared to Japanese reviews. Failing to reply to reviews can give potential international customers the impression that the establishment is not welcoming to foreigners, leading to lost opportunities for customer acquisition.


How the New Feature Works


The multilingual review reply function automatically detects foreign language reviews and generates AI-powered reply drafts in the same language.


Supported Languages

  • Korean (한국어)
  • Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
  • Traditional Chinese (繁體中文)
  • English (English)

Feature Workflow

1. Retrieve reviews from Google Business Profile

2. AI automatically detects and translates foreign language reviews

3. AI analyzes the content of the review (appreciation/question/complaint, etc.)

4. Automatically generate a reply draft in the same language

5. Store owners review and post the reply with a single click


Inclusion of Japanese Translations

Since the generated reply text is accompanied by a Japanese translation, owners who do not understand foreign languages can still grasp the content of the reply before posting it.


Handling Negative Reviews


The AI also generates replies with an appropriate tone for negative reviews (2 stars or less). It creates text that conveys an apology and a willingness to improve, while maintaining a polite response based on facts.


We encourage business owners with high inbound tourist traffic to try MapBoost's multilingual reply function.
