How a local business gets more reviews with less staff time.
Ask for a review the same day as a good visit, with one link that opens your Google review box, and send a short note to regulars who have not been back. Both run on their own once you write the words. In Grand Rapids, KeenHand, Aaron Byrne's AI consultancy, helps owner-led businesses set that up.
Why reviews and repeat visits slip
The best moment to ask for a review is right after a good visit, which is exactly when staff are with the next customer. The regular who stopped coming leaves no signal at all; noticing takes a list nobody keeps.
What you can do this week on your own
- Get your review link. Google Business Profile gives you a short link that opens the review box directly.
- Ask the same day. By text or email after the visit, in your words, with that one link.
- Ask everyone the same way. Never offer anything for a review, never write one for a customer, and never ask only the happy ones.
- Reply to every review. AI can draft the reply; a person reads it and posts it.
- Notice who stopped coming. A list of customers with no visit in a few months, and one short note from you.
