Why reviews get missed

You probably don't have a customer problem. You have a follow-up problem.

Most local businesses already have customers who would be willing to leave a review. The problem is that asking them consistently falls through the cracks.

01

Your team gets busy.

The job gets finished, the customer leaves, the phone rings, and asking for a review becomes one more thing nobody gets to.

02

Happy customers move on.

A customer can love your service and still never think about opening Google and writing a review on their own.

03

Your review count grows too slowly.

Meanwhile, another business with a better follow-up process can look more established online even if your service is better.

How Northstar works

One simple system working after the customer leaves.

We configure the follow-up process around your business so requesting reviews becomes part of the customer journey.

Step One

Customer finishes their visit or service.

The customer enters your review follow-up process based on the workflow we set up for your business.

Step Two

Northstar follows up automatically.

A simple, professional message asks the customer to share feedback while their experience is still fresh.

Step Three

They can go directly to your Google profile.

No searching for your business or figuring out where to go. We make the path to leaving honest feedback easy.

What customers see

Keep it simple, personal and easy to act on.

You don't need a complicated campaign. You need the right customer to receive a straightforward message at the right time.

Northstar sets up the workflow, messaging and review link so your team doesn't have to manually repeat the process for every customer.

Questions

Before you get started.

How much does the review system cost?

Google Review Growth is $197 per month.

What does the $297 database reactivation include?

It's a one-time campaign designed to contact eligible past customers who may not have previously been asked for a review.

Are customers required to leave five-star reviews?

No. The goal is to make it easier to consistently request honest feedback. Customers decide whether and how they review your business.

Do I have to buy the other automation services?

No. Review Growth works as a standalone service. The other services are available if you later identify another process you'd like help improving.

Can I talk to someone before purchasing?

Absolutely. Use the booking link below and we'll walk through how the system would fit into your business.
