Stop chasing customers for reviews. Let it happen automatically.

For salons, HVAC, restaurants, and any local business that lives and dies by Google ratings.

  • Customer visits → they get an SMS → AI helps them write a review in 3 taps → posted to Google. Zero effort from you.
  • Review rate goes from the industry average of 12% to 60–70% because the hard part (writing) is done for them.
  • Bad experiences are caught privately before they become public 1-star reviews.

After each visit, an automated SMS is sent with a personalized link. The customer answers 3 quick questions. AI generates a natural review from their answers. They approve and post — all in under 60 seconds.

Know your customers. Not just their names — their habits.

A lightweight CRM built specifically for local service businesses — no bloat, no training required.

  • Every customer profile shows visit history, reviews left, photos shared, and credits earned — in one place.
  • Automatically flags customers who haven't returned in 60+ days so you can win them back before they're gone.
  • Send targeted follow-ups by segment: new customers, regulars, lapsed, or high-spenders — with one click.

Every review, visit, photo, and credit transaction feeds into the customer profile automatically. No manual data entry. The CRM builds itself.

Your reviews are telling you how to run your business. We translate them.

A monthly AI-generated report that reads every review and turns patterns into specific actions.

  • See exactly what customers love (use it in your marketing) and what they complain about (fix it before it costs you).
  • Ranked suggested actions each month — not vague tips, but specific moves tied to your actual review data.
  • Track your Google rating trend, review volume, and how you compare to local competitors over time.

Every review is analyzed by AI each month. Themes are extracted, ranked by frequency, and matched to business actions. Delivered as a clean dashboard and optional PDF report.

Monthly review insights dashboard with charts

Turn happy customers into your social media team.

Customers share photos of their experience. You get a ready-to-post content queue for Instagram and Facebook — with their permission.

  • Customers earn credits (redeemable as discounts) for uploading a photo after their visit — so they actually do it.
  • Every photo arrives in your dashboard pre-captioned by AI, tagged for Instagram or Facebook, one tap to post.
  • Explicit consent is captured and stored per customer — you're always legally covered.

After a 4+ star review, customers are invited to add a photo for credits. They choose which platforms they allow. Photos land in your content queue ready to approve and publish — no social media manager needed.
