ROI Logic

Agencies can charge a premium because a single additional 5-star review can lift conversion rates by up to 10% for local clients, and proactive response management prevents churn from reputation damage. The automation stack reduces labor to a few hours per week, while white-label platforms allow resale at 3-5x the underlying software cost.

Deliverables

  • Automated review request campaigns (SMS and email)
  • AI-assisted response templates with human approval workflow
  • Weekly review performance and sentiment report
  • Escalation playbook for critical negative reviews
Definition of Done

The client's review response rate exceeds 90% within 48 hours, and the average rating has improved by at least 0.2 points or maintained above 4.5 over a 30-day period.
