Client Tools

The Review Funnel:
More Reviews, Less Friction.

Every PeaksLocal client gets a branded review page built for their business — one link that works across every platform, with templates to help clients say something real without the blank-page anxiety.

Why it matters

More Than a Link

01
Branded trust, not a raw URL

Sending a bare Google link works, but a branded page with your name, a clear headline, and a personal ask converts better. It signals that you take your reputation seriously.

02
One link for everything

Your review page works as a QR code on invoices, a link in email signatures, a button in follow-up messages, and a destination in print materials. One URL handles all of it.

03
Recency beats volume

Platforms weight recent reviews more heavily than an old burst. A consistent stream of feedback, even at low volume, outperforms a one-time push that goes quiet. The funnel keeps the ask easy over time.

04
Responding is part of the signal

Owner responses to reviews are a ranking signal, not just a courtesy. The review page is the start of the loop: collect, respond, repeat. PeaksLocal tracks and supports this as part of Identity Management.

Built for Your Business Type

The platform options on your review page depend on how your business operates. Toggle between the two scenarios below to see the difference.

Businesses with a verified physical location can have a Place Card on Apple Maps, which supports direct reviews. All four major platforms are available.

Platform nuance

Apple Maps + Service-Area Businesses

The limitation
  • ·Apple reviews require a Place Card
  • ·Place Cards require a verified physical address
  • ·SABs (home-based, mobile, remote) don't qualify
  • ·No Place Card = no Apple review profile
The workaround
  • ·Yelp reviews feed Apple Maps in certain cases
  • ·Strong Yelp presence = best indirect Apple signal
  • ·Builds your Yelp profile directly
  • ·Apple Maps visibility improves over time

Worth knowing: Apple has indicated that SAB support is on their roadmap, but there is no confirmed timeline. PeaksLocal monitors platform changes across all major systems and will update client pages when Apple support becomes available.

Review templates

Reduce the Blank-Page Problem

Most clients want to leave a review and don't know how to start. These prompts give them a frame, not a script. The words should be theirs — these just remove the friction.

Note: these are starting points, not templates to copy verbatim. If a lot of reviews sound too similar, review platforms can flag that pattern as inauthentic, even when every review is genuine. Encourage clients to make it their own. Curious how platforms actually evaluate reviews? Read what's confirmed, and what's just rumor.

"Working with [Business Name] was straightforward from the start. They helped us with [what you worked on] and the results were clear: [one outcome]. Easy to recommend."

Just fill in the brackets — the rest is already there.

"We came to [Business Name] because [the problem you were trying to solve]. The process was [how it went — communication, timeline, etc.]. What stood out was [one specific thing]. Since working with them, [the result or change]. If you're dealing with something similar, they're worth a conversation."

Answer each prompt in a sentence or two — it writes itself.

"I don't usually write reviews, but [Business Name] earned one. They [what they did] and it made a real difference for [your business or situation]. Honest feedback: [one thing that worked well]. Worth it."

Honest reviews are the most useful ones — for future clients and for the business.
