automatically.
94% of customers won't leave a review unless you ask. An AI review management agent asks every single one — at the right moment, with the right message, personalised to their specific visit. 5-star reviews go to Google. Negative feedback gets privately routed so you can fix it first.

The 6-step review pipeline
Fully automated from appointment completion to published Google review — with a private recovery path for any negative feedback.
Appointment marked complete
Your booking system marks the appointment as attended. This fires the trigger — no manual action required.
Wait 1–3 hours
Configurable delay — long enough for the customer to be home and reflecting on the experience, but not so long they've moved on.
Personalised message sent
SMS or WhatsApp referencing the customer by name, the specific service, and the staff member. Not a generic 'please leave us a review.'
Customer rates the experience
A simple 1–5 star tap or numeric reply. Two paths open depending on their answer.
5 stars → guided to Google
One-tap deep link to your Google Business Profile review form. Frictionless. Most complete it in 30–60 seconds.
Under 5 stars → private route
Customer is asked: 'What could we have done better?' Their feedback is sent directly to you. No public platform. You respond, recover the relationship, and address the root cause.
Both paths in action
The 5-star path converts happy customers into published reviews. The recovery path turns a dissatisfied customer into a loyal one.

Thanks for visiting Bloom Coffee today! ☕ Quick question — how was your experience? (1–5)AI Agent
Thank you for being honest — that's really helpful to know. A 20-minute wait isn't acceptable and we're sorry about that. Would you be open to a complimentary pastry on your next visit? I'll pass this to the manager directly.AI Agent
Done — your next visit is on us. We'll make sure to get it right. Hope to see you again soon ☕Works with your point-of-sale and booking system
The review pipeline is triggered by a real business event — not a time-based blast. This makes the timing feel natural and improves response rates.

Review management questions
Does this violate Google's review policies?
No — Google's policy prohibits incentivising reviews or review-gating (only asking satisfied customers to review publicly while hiding negative feedback). Our pipeline doesn't gate publicly — every customer who responds is offered a path, and only the 5-star path leads to Google. Negative feedback is privately captured but not blocked from going public — if a customer independently decides to post a Google review after their private feedback, that's their right. We capture negative feedback first to give you a recovery window, which is standard practice across the industry.
What if a customer who gave 3 stars later posts a 1-star Google review?
The private recovery path is your best defence here. When a customer feels heard and receives a genuine response (apology, complimentary offer, explanation), most choose not to post publicly. Our typical outcome data shows that 70–80% of sub-5-star responders who receive a recovery response do not post a public negative review. You get to fix the relationship before it becomes a permanent public record.
Can the agent respond to existing Google reviews on our behalf?
Yes — we can add a review response module that drafts responses to new Google reviews (positive and negative) and either sends them automatically or presents them for your approval. Responding to reviews is a strong local SEO signal and demonstrates that you're an active, engaged business. We write responses that sound human and brand-consistent, not templated.
How is the message personalised?
We pull data from your booking or POS system at send time: customer first name, the specific service or item they purchased, and the staff member who served them. 'Hi Emma, hope Zara's balayage is growing on you!' converts at a significantly higher rate than 'Hi, how was your recent visit?' The specificity signals that it's a real message, not a mass blast.
How quickly does this start generating results?
Within the first 30 days, most businesses see a meaningful increase in review volume — often doubling or tripling the monthly rate. The rating improvement follows within 60–90 days as the higher volume of positive reviews begins to statistically move the average. Local search ranking improvement (more visibility in Google Maps) typically shows up within 90–120 days for competitive niches.
