Google Review Generation

88% of donors read your Google reviews before they contact you.

Most charities have almost no reviews. The ones they do have are months or years old. To a donor weighing up where to give their time or money, silence looks exactly like a reason not to trust you.

Free 30-minute call. We audit your current review profile and show you exactly where you stand.

15 new verified 5-star Google reviews in 30 days, guaranteed Provided you supply 50 past contacts. If we miss it, we keep working at no extra cost.

Hard to put into words. This organisation does work that genuinely matters. Five stars is not enough.

Silence is not neutral. To a donor, it looks like doubt.

When someone finds your charity on Google and sees four reviews, two of which are two years old, they do not think "this is a small organisation doing quiet good work." They think "nobody is talking about this." They keep scrolling.

73% of people only trust reviews written in the last month. That means a charity with 40 reviews from two years ago has effectively the same credibility as a charity with none. Reviews go stale. The organisations that stay trusted are the ones that generate new reviews consistently, month after month.

The problem is not that your donors would not leave a review. 83% of people asked to leave a review actually do. The problem is that nobody is asking them. Most charities have no system for it, and asking manually is inconsistent and time-consuming for a stretched team.

Every month without a review system

Your existing reviews get older and less trusted. Donors who found you weigh you against a competitor with fresh, recent reviews, and they choose the one that looks more alive. The credibility gap compounds every single month.

  • 01
    Your reviews are old

    73% of donors only trust reviews from the last month. A profile with 30 reviews from 2022 is less credible than one with 8 reviews from last week. The cost: every day that passes makes your existing reviews worth less.

  • 02
    You have too few reviews to pass the trust threshold

    Top-ranked organisations average 40 to 47 reviews. 68% of people do not trust a rating unless there are enough reviews to back it up. The cost: a donor who finds you with 6 reviews gives their time or money to someone with 40.

  • 03
    Nobody is asking

    83% of people will leave a review if asked. Your donors want to help you. They just need to be asked at the right moment, in the right way. The cost: every supporter who leaves without being asked is a missed review you will never get back.

  • 04
    Reviews go unanswered

    80% of donors are more likely to choose an organisation that responds to every review. 19% expect a response the same day. The cost: an unanswered review tells every future reader that nobody is paying attention.

Your reviews are the first thing a donor judges you on.

Before a donor reads your website, before they look at your programs, before they decide whether to give their time or money, they look at your Google profile. They count the reviews. They check the date of the most recent one. They read what people said.

This happens in under 30 seconds. In those 30 seconds, your review profile either passes or fails the trust threshold. Pass it and they keep reading. Fail it and they are gone, and you will never know they were there.

The threshold is not complicated. You need enough reviews that the rating feels credible. You need recent reviews so the profile feels active. And you need responses so the donor knows there is a real, attentive organisation behind the profile.

An automated sequence that asks for you, every single month.

You provide one contact list. We build the sequence, run it, respond to every review, and report back monthly. Your team does not need to think about it again.

1
You provide your contact list

Past donors, volunteers, or service users with a mobile number or email address. Minimum 50 contacts to activate the guarantee. We handle everything from here.

Day 1
2
Personalised SMS or email sent to each contact

Branded to your organisation, written in plain conversational language. Not a mass marketing email. A personal-feeling message that asks specifically for a Google review and links directly to your profile.

Days 2 to 4
3
Gentle follow-up for non-responders

A single follow-up message sent to contacts who received but did not open or act on the first message. Timed and worded to feel like a natural reminder, not a marketing chase.

Day 7
4
Every review responded to within 24 hours

The review response agent monitors your Google profile daily. Every review, positive or negative, receives a personalised response. Generic templates are not used. Responses are written to reflect your organisation's tone.

Ongoing
5
New contacts added fortnightly

As new donors, volunteers, and service users come through your organisation, they are added to the sequence on a fortnightly cycle. The review velocity compounds over time without any additional work from your team.

Every 2 weeks

SMS and email, not just email

SMS requests have a significantly higher open and response rate than email alone. We use both channels so more of your contacts see the message and more of them act on it.

Every review gets a real response

We do not use copy-paste templates. Each response is written to match the specific review and your organisation's voice. 80% of donors are more likely to contact an organisation that responds to all reviews.

Live and generating reviews within two weeks.

From audit call to first reviews arriving in your profile, most clients are live within 10 to 14 days.

Pricing confirmed on the call. No obligation.

15 new verified 5-star Google reviews in 30 days. Miss it and we keep working at no extra cost.

Provided you can supply 50 past contacts with a mobile number or email address, we guarantee a minimum of 15 new verified 5-star Google reviews within 30 days of the sequence going live.

If we do not hit that number, we continue running the sequence until we do, at no additional charge. No vague commitments. A specific number, a specific timeframe, written into the agreement before you sign anything.

If you cannot supply 50 contacts, we adjust the target by agreement before signing so the guarantee remains fair and achievable for your situation.

Questions we get asked

Asking for reviews is allowed and encouraged by Google. What is not allowed is asking only happy contacts, offering incentives, or asking contacts to write positive reviews rather than honest ones. Our sequences ask all eligible contacts in a neutral way, with no incentive and no instruction on what to say. Every sequence is built to comply with Google's review policies.
The review response agent handles every review, positive or negative, within 24 hours. A well-written, professional response to a negative review actually builds trust with future donors. 56% of consumers change their view of an organisation based on how it responds to criticism. If a review violates Google's content policies, we flag and report it through the proper channel. We do not ask anyone to remove legitimate feedback.
We adjust the guarantee target by agreement before signing. If you can provide 30 contacts, we set a proportionally reduced target that reflects that volume. The sequence works at any size. What changes is the expected output in month one. We discuss this in the audit call and agree a number that is honest and achievable before anything is signed.
In our experience, supporters of charities are often genuinely happy to be asked. They believe in your mission and want to help. A personal, well-worded message asking for a review is received very differently from a mass marketing email. The sequence is designed to feel like a genuine request from your organisation, not an automated campaign. We also cap contacts at one message sequence, so nobody receives repeated requests.
Most clients see the first new reviews within seven days of the sequence going live. The guarantee window is 30 days. By the end of month one, most clients have cleared 15 new reviews and are already seeing their Google profile look meaningfully more active and credible than before we started.
We keep pricing for the audit call because the right scope depends on your contact volume and whether you are bundling with GBP optimisation. The audit is free and you will have a clear number before you decide anything. No obligation to proceed.
