Reputation,watched for you.

Counterpulse is the always-on AI reputation concierge for local service businesses — dentists, plumbers, restaurants, med-spa operators — built for shops that never wanted to be priced out of Birdeye or Podium. It reads every review, social mention, and competitor signal so you do not have to log in on Sunday night to 26 messages across 3 platforms.

The cloud above the desk

You started the business to do the work.
Not to chase the work.

Without Counterpulse

The week

Quiet on the outside. Loud in the inbox.

  • A 1-star review sits unanswered for 4 days while you finish a root canal
  • Your front desk rewrites the same apology reply for the tenth time this month
  • A competitor quietly re-promotes on Birdeye and you do not see it for another two weeks
  • You finally log in on Sunday night to 26 messages across 3 platforms

Birdeye and Podium were not built for the dentist on Maple St. They charge $400 to $600 / location / month for tier-1 review automation — fine for enterprise, punishing for a single-location shop.

With Counterpulse

The week

A small desk on Sunday morning.

  • Categorized in 90 seconds
    Reviews, social refs, and competitor signals sorted by subject and tone.
  • Drafted, not published
    Every reply sits in a queue with your policy guardrails visible.
  • Escalated when it matters
    Anything toxic, health, refund, or legal stays out of the auto lane and lands in your inbox.
  • A plan, not a dashboard
    Each Monday report ships 3 to 5 ranked actions with the words you can paste in.

Pricing built for single-location service businesses — not for chains. Ask us for a one-page quote and a working demo in your zip code.

How it works

Three moves, then a Monday report.

No replatforming, no migration project. You stay on your booking system, your CRM, your tabs — we sit on top and watch.

STEP 01

Connect the channels you already use

Plug in Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor, Yelp, and your booking inbox. No data export, no spreadsheet.

STEP 02

Tune the guardrails once

Pick the topics that should never auto-reply, set the tone from friendly-formal to crisp-clinical, and decide who gets the escalation texts.

STEP 03

Get your Monday report

Mentions, the few that mattered, the ones we drafted on your behalf, and the three moves that will move the needle this week.

Monday morning, 6:14 a.m.

A report. Not a dashboard.

Every Monday your inbox gets a one-page reputation snapshot — what came in, what we said on your behalf, what got escalated to you, and the three moves that will move the needle this week. No charts you have to interpret, no 37 metric cards to scroll past.

Tone-weighted, never just star-count.
Each action includes the exact line you can paste.
You can roll back any auto-publish in one tap.

The human lane

Some threads should never be on autopilot.

Anything that touches health, billing, refund, legal, or a brand-new customer stops the auto-publish, drafts a calm hold-message, and lands in your inbox and on your phone. You decide what counts as sensitive — and you can change it any Monday morning.

Auto-halts on

  • Mentions of medical outcome, refund, or refund-adjacent language
  • Threads longer than two replies deep
  • Past customers the concierge has not seen before
  • Anything the policy registry flags as off-brand or off-topic

You get a ‘needs you, here is the thread, here is a draft you can one-tap-send’ notification. No fires, no smoke.

Pricing

A card you can read in 15 seconds.
