Ask while they’re still smiling.
The best moment to ask is thirty seconds after “I love it.” A QR code on the counter opens a form on their phone — star rating, a quick video or a few sentences, done before their card clears. No app, no account, no “I’ll do it later.”
The reviews you’ve earned shouldn’t live only on Google.
Five years of five-star reviews are sitting on platforms you don’t control, doing nothing for your own website. Sync them in, keep them fresh automatically, and put them to work next to your Book Now button.
Show up with stars, everywhere they look.
People check you out three times before they book: in search results, on your website, and one last skim of reviews. One script tag covers all three — no developer, no theme surgery, works on whatever your site is built with.
Five stars is also your content calendar.
The hardest part of posting for a local business is having something to say. Your reviews already say it. Render any testimonial as a branded, captioned clip for Instagram and Facebook — and let the before-and-after photos your customers attach do the talking.
Runs itself between customers.
We taped the QR to the front desk on a Tuesday. By Friday there were nine new reviews — two on video, one mentioning Mia by name. The search results used to be our weak spot. Now they’re the reason the phone rings.
