Dubai Media City · Bur Dubai 4.9★ · 643 reviews
Mon-Sat: 9AM-9PM · Fri break 12-2PM · Sun closed +971 55 753 0104
A profile with 643 reviews at 4.9 outranks one with twelve at the same average. The rating is identical; the evidence behind it is not. Review management is four separate jobs — earning reviews at a steady pace, answering every one inside a day, removing the ones that actually breach Google's rules, and rebuilding a profile that has taken damage. We run all four, on our own profile first.
Quick answer
Google review management is four workstreams: earning reviews through a structured two-touch ask, answering every review within 24 hours, flagging the reviews that genuinely breach Google's policies for removal, and rebuilding profiles carrying sustained negatives. Azizi Technologies runs all four for Dubai businesses from Dubai Media City, using the same routine that built our own 643-review profile.

Key Takeaways
Updated September 2026Review management is four workstreams, not one. Most Dubai businesses run the first badly and ignore the other three.
Is it the whole profile you need looked at, not just the reviews?
This page covers the review corpus. Categories, service areas, photos, posts and Map Pack position are handled on the profile page.
What review management actually is
Almost every Dubai business we speak to is doing some version of workstream one — asking customers for reviews, usually inconsistently and usually at the wrong moment. Very few are answering reviews on a clock, almost none know which reviews Google will actually remove, and the ones carrying real reputation damage are generally trying to bury it under new reviews without having fixed whatever produced the old ones.
The four are genuinely separate disciplines. Acquisition is an operational routine your staff run at handover. Response is a daily editorial job with a house voice. Removal is a rules exercise, where knowing what Google will not remove matters more than knowing what it will. Recovery is operational surgery followed by patient rebuilding. They need different people, different cadences and different measures, which is why treating "reviews" as one task is where most programmes quietly fail.
Run on our own profile first
The same two-touch ask and 24-hour response cycle that produced 643 reviews at 4.9.
Nothing that risks the profile
No incentives, no seeded reviews, no gifted five stars. The downside is suspension, and it is not worth it.
Honest about removals
We tell you which reviews have a real case and which do not, before you pay for the attempt.
Replies written for the next reader
Not for the reviewer, who has moved on, but for the customer reading before they call.
What we run
Acquisition, response, defence and recovery, plus the reporting that shows whether any of it is working.
The QR card, the WhatsApp templates and the two-touch ask, handed over as an operational routine your team runs without us.
Every review answered inside a day, from a twelve-template library customised to name the actual service, date or person.
Reviews assessed against Google's published criteria, flagged, escalated where the case is genuine, and reported honestly when it is not.
Operational root cause first, then 30 to 60 fresh reviews over 8 to 12 weeks, with every legacy negative answered.
Each branch monitored and reported separately so a weak location cannot hide inside a group average.
Monthly pace, response rate, removals attempted and where your review corpus sits against the Map Pack competitors.
Managed vs left to the team
Most Dubai businesses are not choosing between agencies. They are choosing between a routine and good intentions.
| Managed programme | Handled internally, ad hoc | |
|---|---|---|
| When customers are asked | Every job, at handover, then once by WhatsApp | When someone remembers, usually when it is already awkward |
| Response time | Inside 24 hours, every review | Days, or only the angry ones |
| Negative reviews | Answered to a template, customised, offline route offered | Argued with, or left standing |
| Reviews that breach policy | Assessed, flagged, escalated where the case holds | Usually not flagged at all |
| Reviews that do not breach policy | Told to you plainly, so you stop paying to chase them | Chased anyway, or promised by an agency that cannot deliver |
| Multi-branch | Per-location velocity and response reporting | One inbox answering for locations it cannot see |
| Evidence it is working | Monthly velocity, response rate, sentiment, Map Pack comparison | The star average, checked occasionally |
How the programme runs
We read the whole corpus, not the average: where reviews came from, what the negatives have in common, which ones breach policy, how fast you currently reply, and how your profile compares to the others in your Map Pack.
QR card, WhatsApp templates and the two-touch timing, handed to your team as something they run at the counter rather than something we do to them from outside.
Every review answered within 24 hours from the template library, customised per review. Anything that breaches Google's criteria is flagged and escalated where the case holds.
Velocity, response rate and time, removals attempted and their outcome, sentiment movement, and your position against Map Pack competitors. Numbers that moved the wrong way come with the reason.

Finding us
The review desk sits in Office 45 on the 10th floor of Concord Tower in Dubai Media City, with a second office at G 58 in the IT Center Building on 21A Street in Bur Dubai. Customer parking at Concord Tower is free; 21A Street is paid, with the BurJuman car park taking the overflow.
You do not need to come in for this work — it is run remotely for clients across the UAE and reported monthly. Offices are open 09:00 to 21:00 Monday to Saturday, with a Friday prayer break from 12:00 to 14:00 and no Sunday opening, if you would rather walk the profile through with someone in person.
Clinics and salons whose profile carries a handful of loud negatives, restaurants and hotels where volume matters more than average, law and finance practices where one unfair review is disproportionately visible, and multi-branch operators whose head office is answering for locations it never sees.
Manager access to the Google Business Profile, the names of anyone already replying to reviews so we are not writing over each other, and an honest account of any operational problem behind a run of negatives. That last one saves the most time, and nothing about it leaves the engagement.
