While clients who leave a 4–5 star review will be prompted to share their review on Google, Facebook, or Yelp, posting is entirely at the client’s discretion. The software cannot publish reviews to those platforms on behalf of the client.

If a review does not appear on your business listing, it typically means the client chose not to complete the posting step, and the review will remain internal.

❓ FAQs

Find answers to common questions or additional details that may not be covered in the main instructions.

Click the arrow to view frequently asked questions

What happens if a client leaves a low-star review (1-3 stars)?

Click the arrow to view the answer

These reviews stay internal for your team’s reference and are not shared publicly. This allows you to follow up privately to resolve concerns.

Can I stop review requests from sending automatically?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Yes. Go to Reputation → Settings → Interval, then disable automated review requests or set a longer interval between sends.

Do I need a Google Business Profile to collect reviews?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Not for internal feedback, but connecting your Google Business Profile enables clients who leave 4–5 star reviews to post them publicly on Google.

Why can’t I save my email or text template?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Each template must include the Review Link Button (and Unsubscribe for email). Without these placeholders, the system will block saving to maintain compliance.

Can I edit a review after it’s submitted?

Click the arrow to view the answer

No. Once submitted, reviews are saved as-is to preserve authenticity. You can respond to reviews but not alter the original content.

How can I resend a review request to a client?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Go to Reputation → Reviews Tab, locate the client, and select Resend Request. The message will be sent using your existing email/text templates.

Will disabling messaging affect reputation features?

Click the arrow to view the answer

Yes. Reputation Management relies on the messaging module (email or SMS). If messaging is disabled, review requests cannot be delivered.
