Not constructive criticism, the best way of responding

Social instruments give the opportunity to add filters in order to avoid rude reviews and to forbid users from leaving their comments.
Although they are useful instruments, it is recommended to use these filters only if it is not possible to take advantage from the matter discussed or if the user uses to bother you and you do not have enough time to manage this fact.

Possible discredit play from competitors:

This is the case when users leave their negative reviews and they are not at all interested in asking for the solution of a problem. His goal is only to create issues. This the most complex and the most important situation to deal with.
Anyway in this case polite tones are highly recommended. Another important suggestion is to answer the questions sincerely, with a pinch of irony but avoiding exaggerations, sarcasm and aggressive tones.

This aspect is particularly important in the socials where the internal algorithm rewards topics with the highest number of reviews; it happens the same when in a physical place a discussion involves more and more curious people who feed issues.

Constructive criticism like a way to keep your community active and to get suggestions

In all other cases, managing a complaint or a negative review can be extremely useful because it publicly shows our ability to interact positively. Criticism related to products or weaknesses you already know is a legitimate negative review. The advice is to publicly point out that the matter has been dealt with and to contact the person privately as quickly as possible.
When you receive an open question or someone leaves you a negative review through Google My Business or social media, actually he is sharing an issue that you are not aware of and he is giving you the opportunity to improve something that is important to your business and your company.

If you receive the same question frequently , save the answer to be quicker
