Retention & Operations

Reviews aren't a vanity metric. They're in the claim.

The Google patent that describes local ranking counts documents carrying reviews of your business as one of five prominence factors. Not your star rating. The number of places you're reviewed.

Being reviewed well in five places beats being reviewed brilliantly in one.

That distinction changes the job. Most reputation services promise more five-star reviews on Google. The claim counts documents, which means breadth across platforms is doing work that a higher average on one profile does not.

Most businesses we audit have the reviews they deserve and a fraction of the reviews they have earned. It is almost never a service problem. Nobody is asking.

So we put the ask inside your actual workflow, at the moment a customer is most pleased, and we keep the pace steady. A spike after a quiet year reads as bought, to customers and to the platforms.

What's Included

Everything, done for you.

✓The ask built into your workflow at the moment a customer is most pleased, not a monthly email blast
✓Spoken ask, then a text within the hour, while it is still fresh
✓Every review answered within 48 hours, in a real voice
✓Multiple platforms, because the claim counts documents carrying reviews
✓A steady pace, never a burst, so growth reads as genuine
✓Reactivation campaigns to the customers already in your database
✓HIPAA-safe response templates for healthcare clients, written against a compliance rail
✓Monthly reporting on review volume, velocity, and platform spread

One System

Reviews feed local ranking, and local ranking feeds everything else.

Reputation is not a standalone service. It moves one of the five prominence factors, it raises conversion on every other channel you are paying for, and it is the cheapest source of new work you already own. We run it alongside local and retention, not apart from it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Isn't this just asking for more Google reviews?+

No, and that is the common mistake. The claim counts documents carrying reviews of your business, so being reviewed across five platforms does work that a higher average on one does not. We build spread, not just volume.

We're a healthcare provider. Is responding to reviews risky?+

Yes, and it is one of the most reliably fined activities in healthcare marketing. The Office for Civil Rights has penalized practices repeatedly, including $23,000 plus a two-year corrective action plan in one case, for what was written in a reply. Simply confirming that someone was a patient is itself a disclosure. A reply thanking someone for letting you care for their mother is enough to cross the line. And a patient identifying themselves publicly does not give you permission to respond in kind, which is precisely what caught several of the practices that were fined. We write healthcare responses against a compliance rail, using templates that would be safe under any review on your profile.

Can you remove bad reviews?+

Only if they violate the platform policy, and we will flag those. Otherwise the answer is a good public response and enough genuine reviews that one bad month stops being the headline. Anyone promising removal is selling you something they cannot deliver.

How fast does this move?+

Review volume moves within weeks because the ask is finally being made. The ranking effect compounds over the engagement, since it is one factor among five. We report volume, velocity, and platform spread monthly.
