Grow your Google reviews

Get reviewed on two platforms from one request

When you send a review request, your customer leaves their Word of Mouth review — complete with trust signals, service tags, and a star rating. Then we give them the option to also leave a Google review while the experience is fresh.

  • Customer completes their detailed Word of Mouth review
  • Trust signals and service data are captured automatically
  • We prompt them to also review you on Google
  • You build your reputation on both platforms from a single request

You set the mix. We round-robin the asks.

  • Allocate across Google, Word of Mouth, Facebook, and 80+ review sites
  • One ask per customer — the system picks the platform
  • Reputation compounds across every surface AI search engines cite
  • A genuine differentiator vs. Birdeye / Podium (both lock you to one platform)

Based on Princeton’s GEO research — multi-source citations lift AI visibility by up to 40%.

Frequently asked questions

Is this instead of Google reviews?

No. Essentials works alongside Google reviews. Collect Word of Mouth reviews to build trust, while continuing to collect Google reviews as usual.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep your free listing. Your reviews remain visible on your profile, but you lose featured placement, widgets, and award eligibility.

How are Service Awards earned?

Awarded to verified businesses on Word of Mouth who receive 5 consecutive 5-star reviews and a high overall rating.

How quickly will I see results?

Many businesses see their first reviews within days. Featured placement starts immediately after signup.

Can I upgrade to Pro later?

Yes. Upgrade anytime to get multi-platform review automation, AI tools, and SMS campaigns.

How does the Google review prompt work?

After your customer leaves their Word of Mouth review, we ask if they'd also like to review you on Google. If they choose to, Google opens and they can share their experience there too. It's a gentle prompt while the experience is fresh — completely optional and always the customer's choice.

Do I need a website?

No, but if you have one, you can add our widgets to display your reviews and Essentials badges (like Verified and Awards, when applicable).
