01

Trust matters more than the haircut

Photos show the finished coat. Reviews tell a nervous pet owner whether the staff listened, communicated, handled an anxious animal patiently, and made the visit feel safe.

02

Repeat schedules can turn into repeat nagging

A client who visits every six weeks should not receive a review text after every checkout. A customer-level cooldown lets you ask once and stay quiet for the period you choose.

03

Pickup is already crowded

The front desk is taking payment, checking rebooking, sharing care notes, and managing pets at the door. An automatic request after checkout removes one more spoken script from that moment.

Connect your grooming appointments and checkouts.

Connect your Google Business Profile and Gingr. The starting point is when a reservation is checked out in Gingr. Confirm that this event matches finished work in your business, then choose a delay. Staff can also start requests manually for work outside your connected app.

After the leash is on and the checkout is done.

A short delay after qualifying checkout keeps the request out of the pickup rush. Use a cooldown that fits regular grooming visits so a loyal client is not asked after every trim.

No payment app? You can still ask today.

Connecting a payment app makes requests fully automatic, but nothing about ReviewNudger requires it — every account gets both of these from day one.

Type a name, hit send

Type a customer’s name and number and the request goes out right away, or at a time you pick. Your crew gets a private link and QR code so they can ask on the spot from their phones.

Upload your customer list

Upload a spreadsheet (CSV file) of past customers and send requests to all of them at once — the fastest first win, from people who already love your work.

Whichever way you send, the same protections apply automatically — unsubscribes, do-not-contact requests, wait periods between asks, and quiet hours.

Send yourself the actual text.

We'll text you the exact review request your customers get after a paid job. It usually lands in about ten seconds.

Msg & data rates may apply. US & Canada numbers only, one demo text per number per day. By submitting your number you agree to receive one example text from ReviewNudger. Text STOP to opt out.

Your own number sends after carrier approval. While verification is pending or recently rejected, accounts that meet the sending conditions may use a ReviewNudger number, subject to limits and availability. See pricing for full terms.

A toll-free texting number and carrier verification are included. A local number is an optional $100/year add-on, billed separately; it requires a paid plan and its own approval.

See how the essentials compare

A few questions before you get started.

How often should a regular grooming client be asked?

Set a cooldown longer than the normal booking cycle. A client can be asked after a completed visit, then later checkouts stay quiet until the number of days you chose has passed.

We run on Gingr — do we need Gingr API access?

The Gingr connection uses checkout notifications rather than requiring a customer API key. Follow the connection page to set up the webhook address and signature key. A qualifying checkout can start one request per pet parent per day; customer contact, consent, and cooldown checks still apply.

Will reminders stop after someone responds?

Yes. Follow-ups stop when the customer clicks the Google review button, sends private feedback, or opts out. Clicking through is enough; we do not wait for proof that a review was posted. You can also stop follow-ups yourself. A separate repeat-customer cooldown controls when a later visit can start a new request.

What can I do during the 14-day free trial?

Connect Google, bring your reviews into one inbox, connect your job or invoicing app, and prepare your requests and follow-ups. Submit your business details for texting approval during the trial. Trial: up to 50 SMS attempts from your approved toll-free number or, when the sending conditions are met and one is available, a ReviewNudger number during carrier review. See pricing for sending limits. A card is required, but you pay $0 today. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid a charge.

How much does it cost? Are texts extra?

$29 per month per location includes text and email review requests, follow-ups, the Google review inbox, AI reply tools, and unlimited team members. There are no per-message fees or annual contract. Your toll-free texting number and its approval are included. A local area-code number is an optional $100/year add-on.

Can you guarantee reviews or a higher Google ranking?

No. Your customers decide whether to review you and what to write, and Google controls its search results. ReviewNudger makes asking and following up consistent. It does not buy reviews, promise a review count, or filter unhappy customers out of the default request.

Need help checking your setup? Email support@reviewnudger.com and a human will help.

Keep the care personal. Make the reminders automatic.

Set up in about 10 minutes. Requests go out after each paid job, follow-ups run on their own, and every review lands in one inbox.
