Strict Google Compliance: Zero Review Links in Step 1
In accordance with Google review policies and FTC guidelines, Step 1 outreach messages strictly never include Google review links or solicitations. Step 1 is solely for sincere customer service recovery, compensation, or manager contact. A 5-star review invite is only unlocked in Step 3 after the customer issue is genuinely resolved.

Zero Public Exposure
Every message in the Private Inbox was captured silently — the customer never saw a link to Google Maps. Their note is completely internal. Use this to resolve issues before they escalate.

6Shielded Notes

Shielded is the real-time output of the Sentiment Shield — negative ratings intercepted before reaching Google. Each entry here is also forwarded instantly to your Telegram group or private channel.

7QR Code & Stands

The QR Code & Stands tab lets you download your store's review QR code in SVG or PNG format, and generate a print-ready NFC stand card. Customers scan the code and are taken directly to your branded review landing page.
