Automated Review Management for Australian Service Businesses
Review automation is a system that automatically requests, monitors, and manages customer reviews for a business. After each completed job or appointment, the system sends a personalised SMS or email with a one-click link to leave a Google, Facebook, or industry-specific review. Smart timing ensures requests are sent when customer satisfaction is highest — typically 2-4 hours after service delivery. According to BrightLocal's 2026 Local Consumer Review Survey, 97% of consumers read online reviews before choosing a local business, and 81% specifically check Google reviews before making a purchase decision (Qualtrics, 2026). For Australian service businesses, automated review management typically increases review volume by 3-5x within the first three months, with businesses averaging 8-15 new reviews per month compared to 1-2 without automation. LUNA Systems handles the full setup, including review request timing, follow-up sequences, and negative review alerts.

Industry Examples
How Different Businesses Use This
Trades
Plumber completes a job at 2pm. At 4pm, the customer gets: 'Hi Sarah, thanks for choosing Smith Plumbing! Mind leaving us a quick Google review? [link]'. Review count grows from 12 to 47 in 3 months.
Health & Wellness
After a patient's 4th physiotherapy session (when they've seen results), they receive a review request. Timing is based on treatment milestones, not just appointment completion.
Accounting
After tax season completion, clients receive a review request. The firm went from 8 Google reviews to 42 in three months — building instant credibility for new client acquisition.
FAQ
Common Questions
Won't customers find automated review requests annoying?▼
No. The messages are personalised, well-timed, and sent only once per job. Happy customers actually appreciate the reminder — most people intend to leave a review but forget. Our response rates average 15-25%.
What if a customer leaves a negative review?▼
You get an instant notification so you can respond quickly and professionally. The system can also route unhappy customers to a private feedback form first, giving you a chance to resolve the issue before it becomes public.
Which review platforms do you support?▼
Google Business Profile, Facebook, Trustpilot, and most industry-specific platforms. We configure the links based on which platforms matter most for your business and industry.
How quickly will I see results?▼
Most businesses see a significant increase in reviews within the first 2-4 weeks. By month three, review volume typically triples. The key is consistency — every customer gets asked, every time.
