System · fully managed · cancel monthly

Your happiest customers forget to review.
Your angriest never do.

Review Engine fixes both: it asks every happy customer at exactly the right moment — and catches the unhappy ones privately, before they go public. Your Google rating climbs on autopilot, and reviews are the #1 factor in local search.

What it is

A review machine that runs on your existing workflow

88% of consumers check reviews before choosing a local business, and Google ranks you partly on review count, recency and your responses. Review Engine automates the whole loop — request, interception, response — triggered by what you already do: finishing a job, closing an invoice, completing an appointment.

  • Perfect timing — request lands when satisfaction peaks
  • One-tap for customers — direct link to your Google review box
  • Unhappy? Intercepted — private feedback first, alert to you
  • AI responses — every review answered in your tone
  • Email or WhatsApp — whichever your customers actually read
  • Monthly report — rating trend, new reviews, competitors

How it works

Four steps, zero new software for you

Trigger from your workflow

Job done, invoice paid, appointment completed — we hook into your booking tool, invoicing, calendar, or even a simple "done" WhatsApp from you.

Satisfaction check first

Customer gets a friendly one-tap "how did we do?". Happy → straight to your Google review link. Unhappy → private feedback form + instant alert to you.

Reviews answered by AI

Every new review gets a personal draft response in your tone. Approve with one tap — or auto-publish for 5-star reviews. Google rewards responders.

Watch your rating climb

Monthly report: new reviews, rating trend, response rate, and how you stack up against three competitors you pick.

Who it's for

Use cases

Any business found through "near me" searches lives or dies by its Google rating:

🔨

Contractors & home services

You do great work, then forget to ask. Your competitor with 120 reviews gets the call, not you with 14. Every finished job now becomes a review request.

Reviews = the deciding factor for hiring
🦷

Clinics, dentists & physio

Patients pick practices on rating. Requests go out after treatment (privacy-safe, no medical details), unhappy patients reach you privately first.

4.2★ → 4.7★ changes who calls
🍕

Restaurants & cafés

Post-visit or post-delivery requests at the right hour, angry-guest interception before a public rant, and every review answered — even the 3-star ones.

Rating drives the Friday-night choice
🚗

Garages, movers, cleaners

High-volume service businesses: each completed job pings a request automatically from your invoice tool. Volume compounds — 20 jobs/week = 15+ new reviews/month.

Set once, compounds forever

FAQ

Common questions

01Is asking for reviews allowed by Google?

Yes — asking is allowed and normal. Not allowed: buying reviews, incentives, or review-gating. Our interception collects private feedback first but never blocks anyone from posting a review.

02How does it know when a job is done?

We connect a trigger that fits your workflow: booking tool, invoicing, calendar, a sheet row — or simply you sending "done" on WhatsApp. Zero new software to learn.

03What happens with unhappy customers?

They get a private feedback conversation and you get an instant alert — you fix the problem before it becomes a public 1-star. That alone pays for the system.

04Who answers incoming reviews?

AI drafts a personal response in your tone; you approve with one tap, or set 5-star reviews to auto-publish. Responding is itself a local-SEO ranking factor.

05Why so much cheaper than Podium or NiceJob?

Those platforms bundle full messaging suites most small businesses never open. Review Engine does one job extremely well, on automation infrastructure we already operate.
