Travelers read an average of 9 reviews before booking a hotel. OTAs reward properties that respond to reviews with higher search placements — and Google Maps does the same. Hotels with a 90%+ reply rate see a 12% boost in direct bookings, reducing dependency on costly OTA commissions.
The South Carolina Market
Tourism (Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head), automotive manufacturing (BMW, Volvo, Mercedes), aerospace (Boeing in Charleston), and a fast-growing tech-and-services economy in Greenville.
Tourism × Hotels
South Carolina's tourism economy concentrates a significant share of hotels reviews around peak season. Those reviews are often written by visitors who may share their experience with friends or plan repeat trips. Hotel Operators in South Carolina who reply quickly during peak season have a stronger chance of leaving a positive lasting impression than those who don't engage.
The challenge
Your front desk has a million priorities — check-ins, check-outs, guest requests, and staff coordination. Following up with every post-stay reviewer falls to the bottom of the list. Most hotels respond to fewer than 40% of their reviews.
The solution
Both — but for different reasons. Responding to positive reviews encourages future guests to leave reviews (they see it's worth the effort). Responding to negatives demonstrates accountability and can flip the perception of potential guests reading along.
Each ReplyBase account covers one Google Business Profile. For groups with multiple properties, you can run a separate ReplyBase account per property today; native multi-property support is on the roadmap.
Charleston tourism draws hospitality-savvy visitors who benchmark every visit against world-class hotel and restaurant experiences. They write longer, more detailed reviews than the national average — and they expect equally substantive replies.
