FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is review automation?

Review automation is a system that automatically sends review requests to your customers at just the right moment after a job is complete. Instead of manually asking for reviews, smart automations do it for you through text, email, or both, so you collect more 5-star Google reviews consistently and without extra effort.

Will this work with my existing CRM or job management software?

Yes. We integrate review request tools with your existing CRM or job management system so review requests go out automatically after key service moments. Our team handles the setup so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Is asking customers for reviews against Google's policies?

No. Asking customers for honest reviews is fully allowed by Google. What’s not allowed is incentivizing reviews or posting fake ones. Our approach is built around genuine requests sent to real customers at the right time, keeping you fully compliant.

How soon will I start seeing more reviews come in?

Most clients start seeing reviews within the first 0 to 2 months as automations go live and requests start going out. By months 3 to 6, you’ll have built meaningful social proof and credibility. After 6 months, those reviews start to fuel better Map Pack rankings and more inbound leads.
