Reviews & Reputation

A good job should keep sellingafter it's done.

Zapla asks for a review at the moment you choose, keeps the feedback connected to the customer, and turns finished work into proof your next customer can actually see.

Great communication. Everything was clear and the team followed through exactly as promised.

Why reviews matter

People check your reviewsbefore they call.

Your rating matters. So does how many reviews you have and how recent they are.

Positive reviews
85%

Review count
47%

won't use a business with fewer than 20 reviews.

Recent reviews
74%

look for reviews written within the last three months.

Higher reviews. Higher visibility.

More reviews and positive ratings can also help your business rank better in local search.

The part businesses miss

Happy customers leave.Most don't think to review you.

They pay, get back to work, pick up the kids, or move on to the next thing. If nobody asks, a good experience can disappear without ever becoming a review.

94%

are open to leaving a review.

4–6
reviews a year
from the typical consumer.

The missing step
Ask while it's still fresh.

Not two weeks later. Not when somebody remembers. Ask when the work is finished and the experience is still fresh.

The ask

The difference ishow you ask.

Timing matters. Consistency matters. And the fewer steps between the request and the review screen, the easier it is for the customer to act.

Right moment

Ask while it’s fresh.

When the service is complete, after the appointment, when payment clears, or whenever the moment makes sense.

Automatic

Make it automatic.

Once the trigger happens, Zapla sends the request. Nobody has to remember on a busy day.

One tap away

Open the review screen.

The customer taps the link and lands on the review screen. No searching for your business first.

of people asked to leave a review went on to leave one

Customers are willing to review businesses. The missed opportunity is often simply not asking them.

When they're still there

Make the human askeasy too.

If the customer is still there, your team can simply say the review link has been sent. No directions. No searching. They can open it from their phone when they're ready.

Thanks again. If you have a minute, we'd really appreciate a quick Google review.

Easy to book, clear communication and the team left everything tidy.

The service was fine, but I waited longer than expected and wasn't sure what was happening.
