EasyReviews FAQs

Online reviews can either make or break your business.

Select your type of business and find out how you can easily improve your reviews
How many reviews should I expect to see?

While every client has a different success rate, we can shed a little light. Our clients who do not use the negative filter (the 1,2 or 3 star system), have success rates of 50% to 85%. Clients who use the negative filter usually have success rate between 15% and 35%. Not using the negative filter will result in less reviews on major sites, however the upside is that the amount of negative reviews will be decreased. The choice is yours, however we highly recommend using a negative filter.
From there, it is simply a numbers game. The more customers you enter into our Get More Reviews tool, the more reviews you will get. It is that simple.

Due to the fact that all reviews generated while using our software are the direct result of real customers reviewing real business they interact with, we cannot guarantee results from using our software. Although businesses that use our software typically see higher review-conversion-rates, and a higher overall volume of reviews, results from business to business will vary and will depend on several factors including, but not limited to, industry of the business, volume of customers served, timelines of sending out review requests, accuracy of customer contact information and quality of products and services rendered.

How long does it take to see results?

Typically, our clients see reviews come in within 24-72 hours of entering in customers. 

What can I do to help increase reviews for my company?

Regularly submit your client’s info into your dashboard so they are contacted and asked to leave reviews

Use the QR code we provide, making it easy for clients to reach your review page. Print the QR code on all of your receipts, your business cards, display it at the check-out counter and anywhere else your clients may be.

Log into your dashboard and connect your Facebook, Google or Twitter account so that customer’s positive reviews are posted to your social media pages.

What cell number is used to send messages?

It will be local number that is shared by other Easy Review users.

Can people reply to the sms message?

No, however the text will read:

And since the client recently used your service, they will know who sent the text.

If you need to have your own sms number, it must be purchased through Twilio. We highly recomend that your web designer or someone experienced in using Twilio be used.
