An online reputation management (ORM) software helps businesses monitor, manage, and improve their brand image across review sites, social media and search engines.

With Chatavise Review Suite, reputation management becomes intelligent and effortless.

Our AI-powered automation continuously tracks the customer journey, captures feedback, solicits reviews, and showcases mentions wherever you need reviews the most.

Chatavise’s ability to attribute reviews to employees and teams is especially valuable for home service companies with 20+ field technicians as it raises the minimum baseline of service while acknowledging and rewarding your best employees for their efforts to increase the reputation of your brand.

Your online reputation is often the first impression customers have of your brand and it shapes whether they trust, engage, or buy from you. Depending on where you look, 93 to 98% of customers research reviews before making any purchasing decision that has anything to do with their home.

For home service businesses specifically, that number carries extra weight. You're asking customers to let a stranger into their home, trust your team with their property, and often spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on the work. Reviews are the primary way a prospect decides whether your business is worth that level of trust before they ever pick up the phone.

A strong, current review profile doesn't just help you get found in local search. It's often the difference between a prospect calling you or calling the competitor listed below you.

Chatavise Review Suite enables you to:

• Generate & manage reviews from review sites that matter the most to you.
• Manage customer communication from one easy to use inbox.
• Leverage easy-to-customize workflows to make responding to large amounts of reviews a breeze to manage.
• Utilize Generative AI to create the best responses.
• Showcase reviews on your website, social media, paid ads and search
• Access top of house analytics as well as the ability to drill down to specific locations and even down to specific employees.
• Keep a pulse on how your most important competitors are performing

Chatavise offers plans, suites, and optional add-ons that fit your business like a glove. We believe software should fit you, not the other way around.

First, choose a plan. Core starts at $200 per month, Flow at $450, and Scale at $750. Plans are based on the level of automation and volume of texts your business requires. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time.

Most businesses are up and running within a single onboarding session.

If your business runs on Jobber, HouseCall Pro, or JobNimbus, Chatavise connects natively. No complicated connectors, no third-party middleware, and no technical background required. The integration is designed to be set up by the business owner or office manager without needing outside help.

Once connected, Chatavise starts listening for job activity in your field service system immediately. From that point, automated review requests, survey triggers, and follow-up workflows run in the background based on real job completions.

We work with businesses across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia and our onboarding team walks every new customer through the setup to make sure everything is connected correctly before you go live. If your business runs on a proprietary or custom system, we have experience with those integrations as well. Book a demo to talk through what that looks like for your specific setup.

While there may be a few exceptions, the general rule of thumb is to send the review invite as soon as the job is completed while the experience is still fresh in the customer’s mind and before they move on with their day. Doing so increased our average customer review completion rates by 20%.

Some businesses see solid review completion rates even when the first message they send is the review invite. But most of our customers who connect Chatavise to their field service system take a different approach: job confirmation, on-the-way message, and then the review invite.

Our data shows that making the review invite the second, third, or even fourth message in the sequence increases engagement and reduces opt-outs. The reason is straightforward. Customers who have been kept informed throughout the job already have a positive impression of your communication before the review request arrives. They've experienced your business as one that respects their time and keeps them in the loop. That goodwill makes them more likely to take the extra step of leaving a review.

The perceived value of your SMS communication builds with every touchpoint. A review invite that arrives after a great customer experience lands very differently than one that arrives cold with no prior context.

Yes, just keep in mind that you don’t want to be too pushy when asking for a review. Chatavise is delivering the review invite through SMS (as the primary method) so you’ll know if the text was delivered.

However, it’s entirely possible that 1 of 2 things happened:

1. the customer saw the text and never clicked on the link because they were in the middle of something (which is why it’s super important to send out the review invite as soon as the job is complete)

2. the customer saw the text AND clicked on the link yet still choose not to leave a review. Knowing this you can decided as a company do you want to send a more light heart text to encourage the review.

With Chatavise you can easily build workflows to help automate the friendly encouraging reminder.

You should aim to respond to every review, positive or negative, within 24 hours. Quick responses show customers and prospects that your business is attentive and that feedback doesn't go unnoticed. On a practical level, a fast response to a negative review can also prevent a small frustration from escalating further on a public channel.

For positive reviews with no additional commentary, a brief, professional acknowledgment is all that's needed. For negative reviews, a personalized and empathetic response that shows you've read the feedback and take it seriously goes a long way toward demonstrating the kind of professionalism that actually wins back undecided prospects reading the exchange.

Chatavise Review Suite makes this manageable at scale by using AI-powered automation to generate on-brand responses based on rating, sentiment, and keywords. You can set rules that handle routine responses automatically while flagging reviews that need a personal touch from your team. Direct response to Google and Facebook reviews is available from within Chatavise so your team never has to log into multiple platforms to stay on top of your reputation.

Sounding Board is a smart tool that lets you capture customer sentiment privately before it becomes a public review. With it you can ask a simple question (e.g., “How did we do?”) right after the job is complete. The sounding board tool captures feedback in a low-pressure, low stakes way. Then Chatavise will automatically route positive responses to the public review site and route negative responses to a feedback section while simultaneously notifying managers and customer service reps that a negative review is incoming. Chatavise will also send a text to the customer letting them know that a manager has been notified and that they will reach out to see if they can rectify the negative experience.

Keep in mind review gating is not permitted so the customer will be able to post the negative feedback publicly however, being fast and proactive stops nearly 90% of would be bad reviews and that’s according to more than 240+ businesses & franchises that use the sounding board feature.

Additionally if you are working on repairing your brand you can simply have the sounding board be the last step so that you capture much needed feedback internally only. Remember if you make it easy for happy customers to leave you reviews you must also make it easy for unhappy customers to leave you a review. Negative feedback is seen as an opportunity to turn an unhappy customer into a happy customer retained for life through showcasing your team’s attention to their needs.

In short: Sounding Board gives you a private “feedback check” moment that helps you manage issues proactively and build a stronger culture focused on the customer experience.

Chatavise gives you complete, real-time visibility into your online reputation performance across every location, channel, and customer touchpoint.

Track reviews, ratings, and sentiment trends by location, platform, or timeframe all from one intelligent dashboard. See response times, engagement rates, and review volume at both team and individual levels to measure performance and consistency.

Yes, you are allowed to ask for reviews and you should. Customers talk about their personal experiences with businesses with everyone including family, friends, colleagues and even people they just met, all of the time. The conversations happen in real life, on social media and on online forums. Soliciting reviews with a platform like Chatavise helps you organize customer feedback to collect the data necessary for your brand to build a strong online reputation. It also uncovers insights that can help you improve your products and services.

There is no denying that making it easy for customers to leave you a review balances out the fact that upset customers are more motivated to publicly shame you more so than the happy customers are likely to praise you. So make it easy for the happy majority to publicly praise you.

Yelp is the most popular exception out of all the review sites. They clearly state that they don’t want you to ask for feedback from your customers and you risk getting your Yelp profile completely removed if they detect you doing so. Thankfully there are many other review sites including Google who see all reviews solicited or unsolicited as meaningful feedback for your business.

At Chatavise, we believe in following the rules to best protect our customers so soliciting reviews for Yelp should be avoided. However, we do pull in data from your Yelp review profile into your Chatavise dashboard for your convenience.

You are in charge of your business and we are in charge of simply providing education on the current rules governing the products and services we offer. With that said, we highly recommend that you send review invites to every customer so that your online reputation truly reflects your brand’s customer experience. Customers don’t expect 1,000s of reviews to be perfect, in-fact that would make them suspicious and suspect foul play and cherry picking. Being a genuinely good business that cares about there customers is what matters and is the foundation to building an online reputation that customers can trust.

Furthermore, excluding unhappy customers especially using automation software can amount to review gating which may lead to penalties, fines and other legal and financial consequences from various review sites as well as governing bodies including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

We strongly advise against offering incentives in exchange for reviews. While it might seem like an easy way to earn more positive feedback, it can hurt your brand’s credibility in the long run. Customers today can quickly recognize when reviews are influenced, which can lead to loss of trust.

Additionally, review site such as Google prohibit incentive-based reviews (a practice known as review gating). Violating this policy can result in your business profile being suspended or removed, causing lasting damage to your reputation.

Please, don’t buy fake reviews as you are taking a huge risk to your reputation while risking getting your profile on the review site deleted and removed entirely.

You can report slanderous or fake reviews directly to the review sites, such as Google or Facebook. After verifying your report, these platforms may remove reviews that are found to be false or misleading. No one other than the review sites themselves can remove reviews so be aware of scams claiming to 100% remove bad reviews for you.

While you want to remain cautious about employees directly asking customers for positive reviews, you can absolutely use incentives to encourage them to deliver a great customer experience. When done right this benefits all three parties: your customers, your employees who are in direct contact with those customers, and your business.

Chatavise has a native employee leaderboard and rewards system that makes this easy to roll out whether you have a single location or multiple locations across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, or Australia.

The businesses that consistently earn the most five-star reviews aren't just sending more review requests. They're delivering better customer experiences at every job. The Employee Leaderboard and Rewards feature is how Chatavise helps you build that culture systematically.

When technicians can see how their customer feedback compares to their peers in real time, two things happen. Your top performers feel recognized and motivated to maintain their standard. Your lower performers get a clear and fair signal about where they have room to improve, without needing a difficult management conversation to surface it.

The result is a team that is more accountable, more motivated, and more likely to deliver the kind of experience that earns a five-star review without being asked. That's what raises the baseline of service across your entire operation rather than depending on your best technicians to carry the team.

Receiving an occasional negative review is completely normal, as it’s impossible to satisfy every customer. The best approach is to respond quickly with a personalized, empathetic message that shows you value their feedback. If the issue can be resolved, Chatavise Review Suite allows you to convert the review into a service ticket and track it to completion. Once the concern is addressed, you can follow up with the customer, ask for a second chance, and invite them to update their review to reflect their improved experience.

Yes, you should absolutely promote your reviews. Online reviews are the foundation of today’s customer experience. Featuring them wherever potential customers look builds trust, strengthens your brand visibility, and helps you win more business. They serve as authentic proof of your quality and service, showing the world what your customers say about you, which is far more powerful than anything you could say about yourself.
