Built from a real local business need.
Rateo was created to make Google review management feel simple, useful, and accessible for the local businesses that depend on their reputation every day.
Why Rateo exists
A family restaurant sparked the idea.
Alexandre first saw the problem up close when a member of his family ran a restaurant in a busy tourist destination. Even with a great location, the restaurant collected far fewer Google reviews than it deserved. The team was busy serving customers and simply did not have the time to answer every review.
He created Rateo to solve that problem: give local businesses an easy way to make honest reviews easier to share, respond to new Google reviews automatically with an AI trained around their business, and protect the reputation they have worked hard to build.
The application quickly proved its value. What began as a solution for one family business became a tool Alexandre wanted to open to every local business that relies on Google to be found, trusted, and chosen.
