More good reviews,
handled properly.

Reviews are often the first thing people in Oakville, Milton or Georgetown look at before they call. We set up an easy way to ask happy customers for reviews, reply to every one in your voice, and help you deal with the bad ones without making it worse.

All within Google's rules: no fake reviews, no paying for reviews, and no filtering out unhappy customers. That's what keeps your profile safe.

Reviews decide who
gets the call

Map pack

Review count, rating and how recent they are all play into where you show up on Google Maps.

Trust

Two businesses side by side, and one has 140 reviews and the other has 6. Guess which one gets the call.

Feedback

Reviews tell you what customers love and what's bugging them. That's free market research.

What our review
management covers

Bad review help

A calm, professional reply plan for negative reviews, and flagging reviews that break Google's rules (spam, fake, off-topic) for removal.

Monitoring

Alerts for new reviews on Google, Facebook and the sites that matter in your industry, like HomeStars for trades.

Showing off reviews

Your best reviews added to your website, with proper markup, so new visitors see them before they leave.

Monthly report

New reviews, rating trend, response rate and what customers keep mentioning.

How we get you
more reviews

1. Check where you stand

We look at your reviews on Google and the other sites that matter for your business, and compare you to the competitors showing up around you.

2. Make asking easy

Short review links, a QR code for the counter or invoice, and text and email templates. Most businesses don't get reviews just because nobody asks.

3. Reply and monitor

Every new review gets a reply. Bad ones get flagged to you right away, with a suggested response.

4. Report and adjust

Each month you see how it's going. If reviews slow down, we look at why and tweak the process.

What we won't do
(and why it matters)

Google takes review rules seriously. Breaking them can get reviews removed, your profile suspended, or worse.

Run a clinic? Healthcare has extra rules about testimonials and privacy. See reputation management for behavioral health clinics.

FAQ: review & reputation management

Can you get bad reviews removed?

Only if they break Google's rules, like spam, fake reviews, hate speech or reviews from people who were never customers. We'll flag those for removal. Honest negative reviews stay up, so the best move is a calm, helpful reply.

Can I offer a discount for a review?

No. Google doesn't allow incentives for reviews, even for honest ones. We'll help you ask in ways that work without breaking the rules.

Should I reply to every review?

Yes, ideally. A short thank-you on good reviews and a calm, helpful reply on bad ones shows potential customers you care. We can draft them or post them for you.

How many reviews do I need?

There's no magic number. What matters is having more recent, good reviews than the businesses you're up against in your area. We'll show you where you stand.

Do you manage reviews on sites other than Google?

Yes. Facebook, Yelp, HomeStars, TripAdvisor and industry sites, depending on where your customers look. Google is usually the most important.

Can you write reviews for us?

No. Fake reviews break Google's rules and Canada's competition laws, and they can get your profile suspended. We'll help you get real ones.
