About This Automation Requesting reviews after a job and responding to new ones is a scattered process that depends on someone remembering to send a message and checking a listing throughout the week. Delays in replying to reviews, especially negative ones, can hurt trust and search visibility.
An automated version sends a review request the moment a job is marked complete and watches the business listing continuously for new reviews. Positive reviews get a drafted reply automatically while negative ones are routed for approval before anything is posted.
