Review Generation & Reputation Protection for GoHighLevel

A review generation workflow asks customers for a rating after their visit, makes it easy for satisfied customers to post a Google review, and alerts the owner straight away when someone has a bad experience.

01The problem

Happy customers rarely leave reviews unless asked, while unhappy customers often go straight to Google.

02How it works

  1. 01

    Visit completed

    Triggered by GoHighLevel, or by the speed-to-lead workflow, when an appointment is marked as showed.

    • Appointment Completed
    • Normalize Customer
  2. 02

    Ask for a private rating first

    Two hours after the visit, the customer is asked for a 1–5 score by SMS and tagged as review-requested.

    • Wait 2 Hours
    • Rating Request SMS
    • Tag review-requested
  3. 03

    One gentle reminder

    If there's no rating after two days, a single follow-up is sent.

    • Wait 2 Days
    • GHL Get Contact
    • No Rating Yet?
    • Gentle Reminder SMS
  4. 04

    The customer replies

    The rating is read from the SMS reply and matched to the GoHighLevel contact by phone number.

    • Customer SMS Reply
    • Extract Rating
    • GHL Find Contact by Phone
  5. 05

    Route by rating

    A 4–5 gets the Google review link and is tagged as a promoter. A 1–3 gets an apology and callback offer, the owner is alerted on Slack and by email, and the contact is tagged as a detractor. Unclear replies are forwarded to the team.

    • Route by Rating
    • Send Google Review Link
    • Apology + Callback SMS
    • Alert Owner
    • Forward Unclear Reply

03Built to fail safely

  • Only one reminder is ever sent
  • Unclear replies go to a person instead of being guessed at
  • Low scores reach the owner immediately, with time to make it right

Outcome. More public reviews from happy customers, and problems reach the owner before they reach Google.
