“Our collaboration with Uberall is truly a partnership. We're in regular exchange on different topics, and we particularly value the structured, results-driven communication and Uberall’s ongoing development. Our feedback is heard — which means we can actively shape the platform’s evolution and strategic direction.”

Katrin Härte

Integrations Manager, GALERIA

Since 1879, GALERIA has been a household name in German retail. With 83 department stores in prime city-center locations and a growing online offering, GALERIA blends offline and online shopping into a seamless experience. But with scale comes complexity — especially in day-to-day marketing operations, where consistency in location data and managing customer reviews is critical.

With thousands of reviews across multiple platforms, frequent changes to store hours, and local nuances to manage, the marketing team quickly realized they needed a centralized solution — one that would simplify processes, strengthen customer engagement, and increase digital visibility.

Scaling Brand Trust and Customer Engagement

One of GALERIA’s primary goals was to ensure up-to-date store information across all platforms — particularly during short-notice changes like holiday hours. At the same time, the team wanted to elevate its approach to review management. While AI now assists in drafting replies, GALERIA continues to emphasize personalized, human responses to meet its high standards for customer communication.

With Uberall, the team can now efficiently prioritize and respond to reviews, reducing the average response time to around one day. Uberall’s AI-powered response suggestions — introduced just recently — help accelerate this process, without sacrificing the brand’s personal touch.

The team also manages all social media content directly through the Uberall platform, significantly reducing workload while ensuring a consistent brand presence across all digital touchpoints.

From Ambition to Impact

GALERIA’s investment in a scalable solution is already paying off:

  • +63% increase in location visibility

  • +18% more clicks on directions

  • +24% more visits to the website

These results show that customers are engaging with the brand more intentionally — and that centralized tools make a measurable difference. For a business with 83 locations, being able to update and synchronize data quickly and consistently saves time and improves data quality — both essential for ranking high on Google and other platforms.
