About this list
Asking every happy customer for a review is easy to forget. The 7 tools here ask for reviews for you or tell you when a new one comes in.
To be clear: none of these tools writes review replies for you. They ask for reviews and alert you, so you can answer each one yourself.
DIY builds: Google Review Alert sends a Slack message for every new Google review, across all your locations. Post-Visit Review Request sends one text after each visit with your Google review link. Its source says one chiropractic clinic went from 11 to 87 reviews, which is the source’s own number. Quote Request Kit is a set of n8n workflows for quote requests, booking, reviews and payment reminders.
Ready-made software: Weave, Podium, Birdeye and Adit send review requests, and most also handle texts or reminders. Weave starts at $199 a month in our listing. The others say to check the maker’s site.
For clinics: never mention the treatment in a review request.
