Reviews
Reviews help customers decide whether to trust you.
Good review work is not manipulation. It is asking at the right time, making it easy, and responding like a real local business.
Review workflow
Ask fairly, respond usefully, and keep private details private.
A healthy review process is repeatable and honest. Ask after real customer experiences, make the link easy to find, and respond in a way that helps the next customer understand how the business handles feedback.
- Ask honestly after a real customer experience.
- Do not gate, pressure, pay for, or reward reviews.
- Respond to useful details, not ranking keywords.
- Move sensitive issue resolution to a private channel.
- Use negative reviews to show accountability, not argument.
