Reputation managementMore reviews. Fewer bad surprises.
Reputation management for service businesses: we ask customers to share their experience, make Google reviews easy, send concerns straight to you, and prepare replies with AI in your voice and the approval rules you choose.
From $995 setup + $297/month
Texts and emails are charged separately at actual use.
Your happy customers are not quiet. They were never asked.
The customer with a problem writes a review on their own. The customer who loved the work goes back to their day. Asking every customer, the same way, every time, is most of the job.
83%
of respondents asked for a review reported leaving one that year.
A reason to ask consistently, not a forecast of your campaign's response rate.
74%
of consumers look for reviews written in the last three months.
A strong rating from two years ago is not enough. Asking has to be steady.
80%
say they are likely to use a business that replies to all of its reviews.
Your replies are read by the next customer, not only the last one.
50%
are put off by templated or generic replies.
Respond to the feedback without adding private customer, patient or client details.

Four things running for you every month.
You do the work. We set up the requests, reminders and reply process around your eligible customers and the service milestones you approve.
01
Your past customers
Most firms have hundreds of past customers who were never asked. Upload the list, and we send a short series of texts and emails over a few weeks, so a list of 500 does not all land on the same afternoon.
Only contacts who agreed to hear from you.
02
Every new job
When a job is marked done, the “How did we do?” message goes out that day, with one reminder for anyone who has not answered.
Timing set around your finished-job moment.
03
Replies with the right approval
AI drafts in your voice. We agree what can be published, what needs a person and who receives a complaint. Sensitive details stay out of the public response.
Approval rules agreed before launch.
04
Your Google Business Profile
We tidy the profile customers see before they call: categories, services, hours, description and photos, so the reviews land on a profile that looks cared for.
Set up at launch.
One finished job, followed all the way.
This is what happens after every job, whether you had a great week or a terrible one.
The job
Work finishes
The furnace runs, the crown fits, the file closes.
Same day
How did we do?
One short text or email asks how it went, while the work is fresh.
A tap later
The review link
Every eligible customer gets the same one-tap review invitation, whatever their feedback.
Any time
A concern
Anyone with a problem reaches a person on your team, fast.
Every review
A reply to review
AI drafts in your voice. Publishing follows the approval rules agreed with your business.
What counts as “done”?
Pick a clear service-completion event: the car is collected, the scheduled visit is finished or the agreed work is delivered. Use the same rule for everyone. Respect opt-outs and avoid duplicate requests. Handle complaints promptly while leaving the public review invitation available.
The right moment depends on the work.
For auto repair review requests, use the agreed repair-order or collection event. For pest-control review requests, separate a completed visit from an open re-service request. For landscaping review requests, choose a completed visit or project milestone instead of asking after every recurring payment.
TQP sets up the request, reminder and team handoff around that event. Existing software stays in place; the connection and who approves replies are agreed before launch.
When someone is unhappy, a person responds.
A customer can contact your team and leave a public review. When they raise a concern, a named person gets an alert so it can be handled promptly. The review invitation stays available. Here is what to do next.
The reply reaches a person, fast.
When a customer answers the request with a problem, the owner or a named person gets an alert. Not a weekly report.
Call back the same day.
Start with: “Thanks for telling us. I want to understand what happened.” Listen more than you explain. Write down what they say.
Fix what you can, and say so.
A return visit, a partial refund, or simply an honest explanation. Tell them what you are doing and when.
Never ask them to take a review down.
If they posted before you reached them, reply once in public using the script above. If they choose to update it later, that is their decision.
Decide who replies.
Before the first review arrives.
The Quiet Protocol is the best fit for a small business that wants its review process set up and maintained for it. We agree the request timing, reply rules and receiving person, then test the whole journey with your team.
- Routine service feedback
- Choose the tone and what a reply may mention. A home-service business can acknowledge the feedback without adding an address, access details or information from a private job record.
- A patient or legal client
- Use a designated approver. The public response should not confirm the relationship or repeat details of treatment or a matter. Your practice or firm approves the wording and any restrictions on requesting reviews.
- A complaint needs action
- Send it to the person who can resolve it, with a clear next task. Keep the public reply separate from the private investigation. A low rating does not remove the customer’s review opportunity.
Health practices need particular care: HHS has taken action over patient information disclosed in review replies. For therapists, follow our practice-specific approach before considering review requests.
What we check before launch
Walk through a completed job, a repeat customer, an opt-out and a customer with a complaint. Check the recipient, the request and the reminder. Confirm that the public invitation does not depend on a positive survey answer, and that a sensitive draft waits for the right approver. Your written scope names the software connection and the person responsible for exceptions.
Review growth
From $995 setup + $297/month
Setup covers configuration, testing and launch. The monthly plan maintains the agreed request, reminder and handoff process, with a 3-month initial commitment. Texts, emails, carrier registration and AI use are charged separately at actual use.
Our part
- Tidy your Google Business Profile: categories, services, hours, description and photos
- Load your customer list and set up the series of texts and emails for past customers
- Send the “How did we do?” message after every finished job, with one reminder
- Configure AI-assisted replies with the agreed approval controls and complaint alerts
- Keep it running, with a clear record of who was asked and who answered
Your part
- Share your customer list, including only people who agreed to hear from you
- Tell us who calls back unhappy customers, and make that call the same day
- Name the person who approves sensitive replies and the wording your profession permits
- Let us know when your services, hours or team change
Know whether the process is working.
Review eligible completed jobs, delivered invitations, failed deliveries and opt-outs. Separately track new published reviews, replies awaiting approval and unresolved customer concerns. A link click is not proof that a review was posted. Qualified enquiries and booked work remain the business outcome; a higher rating alone does not establish that the system brought a sale.
Not included: guaranteed review numbers, rating or ranking; paid or fake reviews; ongoing local search and listings work beyond the profile setup.
For ongoing local search and listings across the web, pair this with Local Ranking Accelerator ($99/month, or $82.50/month billed yearly).

Common questions
Straight answers about reviews, your customer list and what it costs.
What does the review system do?
It asks eligible customers for feedback at the agreed service milestone, gives them the same opportunity to leave an honest review, sends concerns to your team, and drafts replies using agreed approval controls. We set up the profile and maintain the installed request, reminder and handoff process. Wider ongoing reputation work is scoped separately.
Can you message my past customers too?
Yes. Upload your list and we send a short series of texts and emails over a few weeks, so a list of 500 is not all messaged at once. We only message people who agreed to hear from you, and every message has an easy way to opt out.
Do you reply to reviews for me?
We configure AI-assisted replies in your voice and the approval controls agreed with your business. Sensitive reviews go to the named person before publication. The written scope states who approves, who publishes and whether ongoing hands-on response management is included.
Will it get me more Google reviews?
It gives eligible customers a consistent opportunity to review you. BrightLocal's 2026 survey found that 83% of respondents who were asked reported leaving a review that year. That is a consumer survey result, not a promised campaign conversion rate. Nobody can guarantee how many customers will review you or what they will say.
Can I offer a discount for a review?
No. Google prohibits incentives for reviews, whether the requested review is positive or negative. Ask for an honest account of the customer's experience without a discount, gift or reward.
Are texts and emails included in the price?
No. Texts, emails, carrier registration and AI use are charged separately at actual use, and you see what was used.
Your next five-star review is from a customer you already served.
Tell us what your finished job looks like. We will show you the request, the reminder and who gets the unhappy replies.
