Review collection

This page is a draft of the collection step, not a reviews page. No review, rating or testimonial appears on this page. Reviews cannot be written by a machine without being fabricated, so this page publishes the process and the ask, and the reviews themselves will appear only when real clients leave them on the platform.

Why we collect reviews

When an AI assistant is asked to recommend a business in Fort Myers, it weighs third-party evidence. A review that names the city and the service is one of the signals that resolves an entity to a place. That is the reason for this step, not decoration on a page.

The collection step

  1. After a delivered milestone, send the client one request — by email, with the direct review link for the platform their customers already use.
  2. Ask for an honest review. Never offer an incentive, a discount or a gift in exchange for a rating; that breaks the platform rules and would make the review worthless as evidence.
  3. Ask the client to mention the city and the service in their own words. Do not supply the words for them.
  4. Thank the client whether the review is positive or not, and reply publicly to every review so the response is part of the record.
  5. Re-check the profile weekly and repeat for the next delivered milestone.

The request copy (draft)

Subject line: How did we do on the work we delivered?

Body: We have finished the milestone we agreed. If the work was useful, would you leave an honest review? The direct review link for your platform is in this email below. If something was not right, reply to this email first and we will fix it before you write anything.

This copy asks for an honest review and offers nothing in return. That is deliberate: a review given in exchange for a discount is not evidence, and it puts the client's profile at risk.

What this page will become

Once real reviews exist on the platforms, this page will carry the verified count and links to the profiles. Until then it stays a draft, and it is marked noindex so a search engine does not read a draft as content.

Where the reviews live

The profiles themselves are the record. This page points at them rather than copying them, so there is one source of truth and no chance of a review being misquoted here.

What we will never do

We will not write a review on a client's behalf, we will not buy reviews, we will not offer an incentive for a rating, and we will not filter out a negative review by asking only satisfied clients. A review that is not independently written is not evidence, and treating it as evidence would mislead both a buyer and a search engine.

How this connects to AI visibility

The opportunity behind this page exists because an AI assistant asked for agencies in Fort Myers did not name this business. An assistant weighs third-party evidence, and the review profiles are part of that evidence. That is why the step above is worth doing: not for a star rating on a page, but because the review text is one of the few third-party signals that ties the business to the city and the service in words a model can read.
