Key Executive Takeaways
- Timing is everything: review requests sent within 1 to 2 hours of transaction achieve the highest completion rate.
- Automated SMS links make leaving a review a 1-tap experience.

Why Reviews Drive Local Foot Traffic
Google Maps algorithms prioritize three primary factors: relevance, distance, and prominence. Prominence is driven overwhelmingly by review count, average rating, and review velocity.
The Problem with Manual Asking

The Automated Post-Transaction Solution
By integrating review invites with your POS or CRM, happy customers receive a quick, polite text message while their positive experience is fresh.
