Linking Your Review Accounts & Business Info

The second step you will want to complete is to link all of the review sites to Review Manager. This will allow you to manage ALL of your reviews in the same spot! You can link reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp and over 100+ industry specific review sites.

Lets start with connecting your business location!

After you click Connect Location you will be guided through steps to complete your location connection.

You can choose to manually connect by searching your business in the google search bar or you can connect your Facebook if you have a business page with all your business info included already.

When you have chosen a location, click Next and you will be led to step two, which will be linking your review accounts!

Google automatically searches for major review sites that you might have.

Simply check the little box next to the review site you would like to add and click Next.

This processes might take up to 5-10 minutes to complete depending on how many sites you are connecting

After Review Manager has added the review sites, you will be directed to add your logo in the next step.

This logo will be able to be seen by your customers who receive your requests for review. Make sure the logo is NOT white since the background will be white. You want your logo to be viewable. If your logo is white, consider adding a colored background and then uploading it into Review Manager.

The next step will let you know that your account is ready to go!


Add Additional Listings

Important: In order to add/link review sites to your Review Manager you must already have them set up. For example, you need to set up a Google Business Review site before adding Google Reviews to Review Manager.

Do you want to add another listing you have? No problem! Simply click the + Add Listing button located in the Funnel menu.


After you click the add listing button a popup will appear where you can select the review site you want to link. You can link reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp and over 100+ industry specific review sites.

Once you have selected a review site to add a popup will appear prompting you for information. below is an example of adding Fourquare Reviews.

You can also view and add more linked accounts in the Links menu on the left.


Set your Notifications

The first thing you will want to do is make sure you email is inserted into Review Manager. You can find this area in the Funnel menu


Simply fill in the email you would like to have notifications sent to and click the + Add button.

You can then set what notifications you would like to receive by clicking My Reviews in the left menu and then going to the Settings tab at the top

From there you can choose to receive an email when your business receives less than a 5, 4, 3, or 2 star review. You can also choose to receive an email for any review or to not receive any email alerts.


Connect Your Social Media

Connect your social media so your review requests show them at the bottom so that clients may be able to like or follow you on social media! You can find this area in the Funnel menu at the very bottom.


Create Your Landing Page

Customizing your landing page can help engage customers effectively. Prompt client who had positive experiences to leave public reviews with a call-to-action like "Share your experience." For clients who may have had a negative experience, offer a private feedback option, such as "We’d love to hear your thoughts," allowing them to share concerns without impacting your reputation. This dual approach boosts engagement and helps improve your service. Here’s how to make adjustments:

  1. Content Section Customization: Under the content section, you can edit the title and body of your message. For example:

    • Message Formatting: Change the format to suit your brand's tone and style.

  2. Customizing Star Ratings: You can personalize the star ratings labels, making them more fun or aligned with your brand's personality. For example:

    • You can change "Bad" to something like "Not what I expected." This new label will appear when the user hovers over the star ratings.

  1. Incentivizing Reviews: You can attach an incentive or offer to encourage your customers to leave a review. Here, you can define the wording of the offer and the types of incentives (discounts, special offers, etc.) you wish to provide.

Interactive Design

You can personalize the responses your customers see based on the type of feedback they provide.

  1. Positive Feedback (4 or 5 Stars):

    • Set a threshold for positive feedback (e.g., 4 stars or higher).

    • If a user rates 4 or 5 stars, a prompt will appear thanking them and asking them to share their experience on your Google Business profile.

  2. Negative Feedback (1 to 3 Stars):

    • For ratings below 4 stars, you can encourage customers to provide private feedback. This helps you address concerns before the review goes public.

Private Feedback

If you would like to have an option other than leaving a public review, you can add this option to your requests!


New Landing Page User Interface

If you have the new user interface follow the instructions below:

1. Accessing the Settings

To begin, head over to the Settings section in the Review Funnel. Here you can make updates to your business name if needed and add additional review site listings.


2. Adding Additional Review Site Listings

To add a new review site, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Click the plus button to add a new review site.

  • Step 2: You can either use the directory to search for review sites or enter a specific review site URL if you know the exact site you want to add.

  • Step 3: If your desired review site isn't listed in the directory, you can add a custom link. Simply enter the URL of the review site. For example:

    • Add the review monitoring URL, followed by a backslash and your business name (e.g., https://reviews.example.com/YourBusinessName ).

Once added, click Save. Your new review site will now appear in the list.

  • Optional: If you’d like this site to be included in your landing page for public reviews, click the circle next to the review site. For example, you may want to prioritize Google and Facebook for public reviews.


3. Customizing the Appearance of Your Landing Page

Next, move on to the Appearance settings to modify the look and feel of your landing page:

  • Header Color Scheme: Adjust the color scheme for your page header.

4. Modifying Landing Page Verbiage

  • Edit the Landing Page Message: You can change the text and verbiage displayed on your landing page. For example, you can thank customers for their feedback and prompt them to leave a public review.

  • Modify Your Logo: You can adjust the size of your logo to ensure it’s clearly visible on the landing page.

  • Star Rating Customization: Choose the type of rating scale you'd like:

    • 1 to 10 scale (e.g., NPS rating)

    • Thumbs up/down

    • Star rating (most common)

If you use the star rating, you can set follow-up actions based on the rating:

  • Positive Feedback: After customers leave a positive rating, you can direct them to public review sites like Google and Facebook.

  • Negative Feedback: For customers who leave a negative rating (3 stars or less), you can customize the next screen to encourage them to share their feedback directly with you.


5. Handling Negative Reviews

For reviews with 3 stars or less, you can set up a custom message that appears after they leave their feedback. In the negative review section, you should:

  • Encourage Direct Feedback: Emphasize that customers with negative feedback should share their thoughts directly with you instead of posting publicly.

  • FTC and Google Compliance: It's important to note that review links must be presented to both customers who leave positive and negative reviews. This ensures compliance with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines and Google’s terms of service.

  • Font Customization: You may want to increase the font size or use bold text to emphasize your request for direct feedback.


6. Direct Feedback for Negative Reviews

After customers provide direct feedback (for negative reviews), they will be directed to a page where they can leave detailed comments. This page can be customized to collect the following information:

  • Name

  • Email Address

  • Phone Number

  • Message

You can modify the verbiage on this page to suit your brand and communication style.
