What You’re Getting

Four tools your team
can use starting today

Every piece is print-ready and designed for real business owners — not marketing people.

Breakroom Poster

Negative Review Triage Flowchart

A step-by-step visual guide showing your staff exactly what to do when a bad review appears. Is it fake? Should you respond publicly? Can you move it offline? Every decision mapped out clearly.

Best use: Print and pin in the break room. Staff handle review crises without you getting involved.

Clipboard-Ready

Manager Weekly Checklist

A printable weekly and monthly tracking sheet covering review monitoring, staff accountability, and platform reporting. Gives your manager something concrete to own.

Best use: Print, clip to a $1 clipboard, hand to your manager on Monday morning.

Staff Training

Employee Review Request Script

The exact words cashiers, servers, and front desk staff can use to ask for a review without feeling pushy or scripted. Includes variations for different situations and customer types.

Best use: Include in new hire packets. Run a 5-minute team huddle around it.

Quick Reference

Review Platform Cheat Sheet

A one-page guide to the 10 review platforms that actually matter — and which ones matter most for restaurants, contractors, salons, dental offices, and retail. Most owners are focusing on the wrong ones.

Best use: Review with your manager and identify which 2–3 platforms to prioritize this quarter.

Who This Is For

Built for local business owners
who want more 5-star reviews

🍽️

Restaurants & Cafés

A single 2-star review can swing your entire rating when you have under 100 reviews. You need a system, not a one-time fix.

✂️

Salons & Spas

Your clients trust online reviews like personal recommendations. The toolkit helps you capture that trust consistently.

🔧

Contractors & Home Services

Homeowners read every review before they call. A strong recent review profile is your #1 sales tool.

🦷

Dental & Medical Offices

Patients choose providers based on reviews more than any other factor. Your online reputation is your referral engine.

🏪

Retail & Boutiques

Local search drives foot traffic. A strong review profile on Google Maps is what gets you found over the chain down the street.

🏡

Real Estate & Property

In a relationship-driven industry, reviews are proof. The toolkit helps you systematically collect them after every transaction.

Why It Matters

The problems most
owners ignore until
it’s too late

  • You have no system for asking customers for reviews — it happens by accident, if at all.
  • A bad review sits unanswered for weeks because no one knows whose job it is to respond.
  • Your last Google review was 4 months ago — Google is quietly penalizing your ranking for it.
  • Your staff feels awkward asking for reviews, so they don’t — and you lose hundreds of opportunities a year.
  • You’re monitoring Google but ignoring Yelp, Facebook, and 6 other platforms where your customers are talking.

I didn’t even know we had a 3.8 on Yelp. We were focusing on Google. The toolkit made us realize we had a whole blind spot.

— Local restaurant owner

The good news: all of these problems are fixable with the right process. That’s exactly what the toolkit gives you — for free, starting today.
