Fresh reviews, without chasing them

The rating is not everything: Google also looks at how recent your reviews are and how steadily they come in. GMB Manager collects them, tracks them and watches your competitors' reviews, all in one place.

Collection

One link, one QR code, and your customers rate you

Every location has its own public collection page: the customer scans it at the counter or clicks the link they received, rates their experience and lands straight on your Google profile to post the review.

The QR code downloads in one click, ready to print: counter, window, receipt, business card.

Invitations

Invite every customer, at the right moment

Import your customers, launch a campaign: each one receives an email or a text message under your brand, with no mention of GMB Manager, and a direct link to your profile. Sends can be scheduled to keep the collection pace steady.

Email SMS WhatsApp: soon
Review list in the application: rating, text, date and published reply.

Monitoring

All of your reviews, archived

Your reviews are synced automatically and kept over time: average rating, volume, new reviews highlighted. You can see at a glance whether the machine is running or slowing down.

Tags sort your reviews by theme so you can surface them in the right places on your website: the reviews that mention a service on that service's page.

Reading relies on a data source independent of the Google APIs: no connection to your Google account is needed to track your reviews.

Soon: automatic sorting by tag
Competitor review tracking: reviews received month by month, your profile compared with the competitors you track.

The competition

Are your competitors collecting faster than you?

The same tracking applies to competing profiles: rating, volume and collection pace, archived week after week. You know whether the gap is widening or closing, and how many reviews you need to move ahead.

Our commitment

Playing by Google's rules

Plenty of tools inflate ratings artificially. We do not: a credible rating is built cleanly, and it holds over time.

01
No review filtering

All of your customers are invited, happy or not. Screening out unhappy customers before Google ("review gating") is prohibited by Google: we do not do it.

02
Consent first

A customer is only invited if they agreed to be contacted. Consent is recorded with every customer record.

03
AES-256 encrypted data

Your customers' emails and phone numbers are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, the standard banks use. They are used to invite them, nothing else.

Coming soon

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about reviews

Where do the reviews shown in the tool come from?
From a data source independent of the Google APIs, synced regularly. Your Google reviews are read from it and archived in GMB Manager, without connecting your Google account.
What happens to an unhappy customer?
They are invited like everyone else and their review goes to Google. Filtering out unhappy customers before publication is against Google policies; it is also what makes your rating credible to future customers.
Are the invitations sent under my brand?
Yes. The customer receives an email or a text message in the name of your business, with no mention of GMB Manager, and a direct link to your Google profile.
How much does it consume?
Every invitation consumes credits from your account: one credit per email, five per text message. The collection page, the QR code and review monitoring are included in your plan, with no consumption.
Do I have to connect my Google account?
No, neither for collection nor for monitoring: everything works without access to your account. The Google connection will only be needed for upcoming features, such as replying to reviews.

How many reviews away are you from moving ahead?
