Fictitious locations. Head office sees all locations in one overview, reports are submitted by the locations themselves today.

>80%

Over the past 12 months, Google removed more than 80 % of the reports submitted through Sternehero within 15 minutes.

In individual cases the review takes a few days. Google alone makes the decision.

The problem

Twelve profiles. Twelve logins. No overview.

Every location has its own Google profile. Your brand's reputation is formed exactly where head office looks least.

  1. 01

    Reviews are everywhere, just not in one place

    Ratings, critical reviews and reports are spread across dozens of accounts. A complete picture only emerges when someone clicks through every profile one by one.

  2. 02

    The weakest location shapes the brand

    Your customers do not distinguish between branch and brand. When a location slips, head office often finds out last.

  3. 03

    Unfair reviews are left untouched

    Without a set process, every branch decides for itself whether to report a review without real customer contact. In practice, what often happens is: nothing.

Sample view with fictitious locations.

The head office overview

Every location. One control room.

Head office sees the key figures of all connected locations: rating, negative reviews, reports and outcomes, plus new reviews per month. Available on request, set up by the Sternehero team.

Straight talk before you start

What Sternehero is. And what it is not.

01

No guarantee of success.

The decision on every report lies solely with the respective platform. This applies to every single location and in exactly the same way to reports that will come from head office in future.

02

No legal advice.

Sternehero is a software platform, not a lawyer. There is no legal assessment of individual reviews, not even by the AI topic analysis. You make all decisions about content yourself.

03

You confirm every report.

Only what you select and for which you confirm the missing customer contact is reported. Head office does not report anything automatically either.

Frequently asked questions

Straight talk on chains & franchises

Honest answers about the status, billing and the limits.

Available on request are the head office overview of all locations, the AI topic analysis, billing centrally or per location, and free reports with central billing at Premium level. The Sternehero team sets up your head office after a conversation.

Reporting and connecting from head office on behalf of the locations, central AI reply templates, ranking and regions, and team invitations by head office. Sternehero deliberately does not name a fixed date. Companies with an open request are the first to hear as soon as features are ready.

New locations register with your joining code and connect their Google profile. The Sternehero team assigns existing location accounts to your head office. The number of locations is not limited.

You choose. With central billing, head office pays a price per location for all locations, monthly or yearly, new locations are billed pro rata. With billing per location, every location chooses its own location plan, at a discounted franchise price.

The price per location depends on the number of locations and your structure and is agreed in the conversation. All prices are net plus 19 % VAT. You will find the location plans and credit packages available today transparently on the pricing page.

With central billing at Premium level, all locations report their negative reviews without using credits, including existing ones. This applies to German business profiles. You pay for covering the locations, not for an outcome: the platform makes the decision on every report.

For franchisors, chains and multi branch retailers with 5 or more locations, where a head office needs an overview of all profiles. With fewer locations you are well served by the regular business account.

No. The decision about a report lies solely with the respective platform. Sternehero automates the submission process, the platform determines the outcome. This applies to every location and in future in exactly the same way to reports from head office.

No. Sternehero is a software platform. There is no legal assessment of individual reviews and no legal advice. You make all decisions about content yourself. For legal questions we recommend consulting a specialist lawyer.
