Most people read reviews before they call. They look at how many you have, how recent they are, and whether anyone bothered to reply. A business with nine reviews from three years ago loses work to one with sixty from this year, even when the work is the same.
The Reviews Engine is the system that asks, follows up and answers, so reviews arrive steadily instead of whenever someone remembers. Requests go out by text and email, anyone who ignores the first message gets one reminder, and everything that comes in is monitored and answered.
Setup is front-loaded. The first week is templates, review sites and getting the first list in. After that it settles into a rhythm that keeps reviews arriving without you thinking about it.

I work with clients across Maine and beyond, pairing agency-level quality with the approachability of working directly with the person doing the work. Your profile stays claimed in your name, gets kept current as the business changes, and is managed alongside the rest of your local search rather than as a disconnected task.
The review habit running on its own, for a business that already has the search side handled or just wants reviews sorted first.
The full local picture. SEO gets you found, the Reviews Engine gets you chosen. Both together for less than buying them separately.

He stays on top of our website for us. We can not say enough about the value we receive from having Mike handling our website.
Related, but not the same. SEO decides whether you get found. The Reviews Engine decides whether you get chosen once you are. Plenty of businesses rank well and still lose the call because the reviews underneath look thin or old. They work well together, which is why there is a price for taking both.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who offers that. Filtering people so only the happy ones reach Google is against Google’s policies and can get a profile actioned. Everyone gets the same ask. The protection is that you hear about a bad review straight away and it gets answered properly.
There is no magic number. What matters is that they keep arriving and that they are recent. A steady handful every month beats a burst of thirty that then stops, both for how customers read you and for how Google does.
Very little. Either your customer list comes to me once a month, or you send requests yourself from your own login, or you hand out a QR code on site. Most people end up using a mix. The templates and review sites are set up for you at the start.
