Only the angry ones write
Happy customers leave and get on with their day. Unhappy ones get in the car and type. Your rating drifts down — not because the work got worse, but because you're only hearing from one end of the room.

No fake reviews, ever
They've already decided
before they reach you.
The homepage you paid for is the second thing they look at. This is the first.
They search your name. What comes back first isn't your website — it's a map listing with a number out of five on it. That number is the whole pitch.
- Under 4 starsmost people never click through — they take the next result
- Newest and worstthe two kinds of review that get read hardest
- March to Augusthow long one angry paragraph keeps doing the talking
- Nobody's jobwhich is why none of it is being watched
And right now,
nobody owns it.
Not because your team doesn't care. Because it never got assigned, and it never gets urgent until it's already a problem.
Nobody answers
An unanswered complaint reads as an admitted one. The next reader sees a business that didn't think it was worth replying to — and no version of your side anywhere on the page.
You're deaf outside your own pages
The forum thread. The local news piece. The post shared four hundred times. None of it touches your profile, so nothing tells you. You find out from a customer, weeks late.
By the time you notice, it ranks
Bad pages age into position. A month-old complaint settles into the results for your own name and stays. Fixing it then costs far more than catching it in the first 48 hours.
Four moving parts,
run for you every month.
Not a tool you log into and forget. A senior person owns the outcome and reports on it.
Ask everybody
Review collection
Plenty of happy customers, almost no reviews — because nobody asks while it's still easy. We automate the ask and put it where the customer already is.
- —Automated requests by email, SMS and WhatsApp, timed to the end of the job
- —Tap-to-review cards for the sales team, counter stands for the front desk
- —A private check-in first, so problems get fixed before the ask goes out
- —A monthly target, tracked — so it stops being a good intention
Answer every one
Review response
The reply isn't for the complainer. It's for the next two hundred people reading the thread while they decide about you.
- —Every review answered within one working day, good and bad
- —Drafted by AI in the reviewer's own language, approved by a person before it posts
- —Full-automatic or suggest-and-approve — you pick how much rope we get
- —Written so the top twenty reviews on your profile read like a business worth choosing
Hear it first
Brand monitoring & social listening
Social listening means watching for your name in places you don't own. It turns a crisis you hear about late into a message you answer the same afternoon.
- —25 million sources tracked in real time — social, news, blogs, forums, podcasts, the web
- —Sentiment sorted into positive, negative and neutral, so volume becomes a signal
- —Alerts on the ones that matter, not a daily digest nobody opens
- —Extra keywords on demand to watch a competitor, a campaign or a founder's name
Fight the unfair ones
Dispute handling
Some reviews aren't feedback — they're a competitor, an ex-employee, or someone who was never a customer. Those break platform policy, and they come down.
- —Every suspect review assessed against the platform's actual published policy
- —Evidence-backed challenges filed and chased until there's a decision
- —An honest bad review gets answered, not disputed — that one you've earned
- —A straight answer on what's winnable before we spend your time on it
What changes
The number moves
The number moves
because the habit does.
No trick. The rating climbs because you finally ask every customer instead of none of them, and because every review gets a reply a stranger can read and respect.

We'd rather tell you now than three months in.
This is for you if
- [+]People find you on a map or a review page before they ever see your website
- [+]You serve customers face to face — clinic, restaurant, gym, workshop, showroom, hotel
- [+]You have plenty of happy customers and almost nothing on the page to show for it
- [+]One bad month, one bad hire or one bad story could cost you real bookings
- [+]You sell in more than one language and can't answer reviews in all of them
- [+]Somebody keeps meaning to reply to reviews and it keeps not happening
This isn't for you if
- [–]You want reviews invented. We don't, at any price — it's illegal in the EU and it always surfaces
- [–]You want honest criticism buried rather than answered
- [–]The service itself is the problem — fix that first, or we'll just be publicising it faster
- [–]You sell to a handful of named accounts and nobody ever searches for you
- [–]You want a dashboard licence and no one running it. Buy the tool direct and save the fee
Straight answers,
including the awkward ones.
Can you remove a negative Google review? +
Only if it breaks Google's rules. Fake reviews, reviews from people who were never customers, competitor sabotage, personal attacks and off-topic rants can all be challenged with evidence, and those cases often succeed.
An honest review of a bad experience can't be removed, and shouldn't be. That one gets answered well instead — which is usually worth more to the next reader than a deletion would have been. Anyone promising to make genuine criticism disappear is either lying or about to get your profile penalised.
How do you get more Google reviews without breaking the rules? +
Ask every customer, at the end of the job, in the channel they already use — email, SMS, WhatsApp, or a card they tap with a phone.
The lever isn't who you ask, it's when. A short private check-in first surfaces the problems while they're still fixable, so by the time the review request goes out you've earned the answer. What we won't do is offer incentives, or show the review link only to the happy ones — that's review gating, and it's the fastest way to lose the reviews you already have.
What is social listening, and do I need it? +
Social listening means watching for mentions of your name in places you don't own — social platforms, news sites, blogs, forums, podcasts and the wider web — and reading whether those mentions are warm, cold or neutral.
You need it if a bad story about you could reach your customers before it reaches you. For any business with a public name and a local reputation, that's the case.
How long before the star rating actually moves? +
It depends on how many reviews you already have. Forty reviews and you'll see movement in weeks. Nine hundred and it's months, because each new review is a smaller share of the average.
The thing that changes first, usually inside the first month, is that every review has a reply and the newest reviews on the page are current. That's visible to a customer immediately, whatever the average says.
Do you write fake reviews? +
No. It breaks platform policy, it's an unfair commercial practice under EU consumer law, and it collapses badly when it's found — which it increasingly is.
Every review we help you collect comes from a real customer who was actually served. If that's not what you're looking for, we're the wrong agency and we'd rather say so on this page than on a call.
Who actually does the work — you, or a tool? +
Both, in that order. AI drafts the review responses and sorts the mentions by sentiment, because it's fast and it's good at it. A senior person sets the tone, approves what goes out, decides which disputes are worth filing and writes the monthly read.
You get the same person throughout. Everything we set up — the profile, the request flows, the review history — stays in your name and leaves with you if you go.
What does it cost? +
It's priced per business, because the work scales with how many locations you have, how many reviews arrive, how many languages you answer in and how many names need watching.
Tell us the shape of the business on a short call and you get a written price before you commit to anything. Our general terms — no annual lock-in, no percentage of ad spend, you own what we build — are on the pricing page.
