Reputation engine: reviews on autopilot
Connect Google Business Profile, store the review link once, automate the ask at the moment of peak happiness, and handle every review that lands.

Connect Google Business Profile
Settings, then Integrations: connect the Google account that manages the GBP listing. This unlocks review monitoring and GBP messaging features.

Store the review link as a custom value
Grab the direct "leave a review" short link from your GBP dashboard and save it as the custom value review_link. Every request message references {{custom_values.review_link}}.

Automate the request at the right moment
Trigger the review workflow when the deal moves to Won or the job-complete tag lands: wait one day, send an SMS and an email asking for the review. Use the Review Request prompt in the library for the full build.

Ask only the happy path at scale
If you run a satisfaction check first (thumbs up or down), route thumbs-down to a private feedback form and a manager alert instead of the public link. Never suppress or gate dishonestly; just route unhappy customers to a human first.

Reply to everything
In the Reputation tab, reply to every review within a week: thank the positives specifically, address negatives calmly with a path offline. Use the Review Reply prompt in the library for on-brand drafts.

Watch the velocity
A steady drip of reviews beats a burst. Reputation dashboards show request-to-review conversion; tune the timing and copy if requests are not landing.
Do it with Claude
Review replies are a perfect Claude job: paste the review, get an on-brand draft in seconds (or use the guided prompt). The MCP’s conversation tools also let Claude flag unhappy replies to your review requests for human attention.
Watch out for
- Asking for reviews weeks after the job when the excitement is gone.
- Copy-paste identical replies on every review, which reads worse than no reply.
