Review management
Reviews are the lever you can actually move.
Review management covers asking for reviews, responding to them and reporting on them. In a Google map pack the review count and rating are among the few ranking inputs a business can genuinely move, and the ask is usually what is missing rather than the goodwill. Included from the Basic plan at $500 a month excluding GST.
Rankings are decided largely by things outside your control. Review count and rating are not. In a map pack they are among the few inputs a business can change this quarter.
What it covers
The work, and why each part is there.
Review requests
A system that asks every customer at the right moment, by the channel they already use. Most businesses do not have a goodwill problem — they have an asking problem.
Responses
Every review answered, including the bad ones. A calm reply to a one-star does more for a watching customer than the review costs you.
Beyond Google
Where a second platform matters in your industry, it gets asked for too.
No incentives, no filtering
Gating reviews so only happy customers can leave one breaches Google’s policy and is worth exactly nothing when it is caught.
Count, rating, velocity
Reported monthly against the businesses currently outranking you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every customer, immediately after the work, with a direct link that takes one tap. Volume comes from consistency of asking rather than from any clever tactic. A request built into the job-completion process outperforms a campaign every time.
Can you remove a bad review?
Only if it breaches Google’s policy — spam, a competitor, personal abuse, or plainly not a customer. We will flag those. A genuine unhappy customer cannot be removed, and the reply is the opportunity.
Is it legal to offer a discount for a review?
Incentivised reviews breach Google’s policy and, where the review misleads consumers, raise Australian Consumer Law issues. We do not do it and would advise you not to.
