For shops, cafés & studios that live on word of mouth

Every good review is a love letter. Make sure it gets read.

RaveHQ asks happy customers for a review at just the right moment, drafts warm replies for your approval, and quietly routes the unhappy ones to your inbox first — so your Google page finally sounds like your shop feels.

Illustration of a small shopfront: striped awning, café windows with flower boxes, an arched door, and a hanging sign that reads OPEN. OPEN

Hover the sign — it swings like the real thing.

The unglamorous truth

Great service doesn't write itself onto Google.

Your regulars love you. They say so over the counter, not on their phones. Meanwhile your review page sits quiet — or worse, one rough night from a stranger sits at the top, unanswered, for months, telling every new customer who you are before you get the chance.

RaveHQ closes that gap in the background, without turning review management into a second job.

How it works

How the letter gets written

01

Ask at the right moment

Right after a good visit, RaveHQ sends a review request the way you already reach customers — text or email — timed while the experience is still warm.

02

Draft the reply

When a review lands, RaveHQ drafts a reply in your voice — thankful, specific, never generic.

03

You approve, you post

Nothing goes out under your name without your OK. Approve the draft, tweak it, or write your own — then post it yourself, in seconds.

04

Rough nights stay private

If a customer's unhappy, RaveHQ sends it to you privately first — so you can make it right before it's ever public.

What a draft actually looks like

Not a form letter. A reply that sounds like you.

"Best flat white in the neighborhood, hands down. Only knock is the parking out front."

— a customer, sample review

Drafted by RaveHQ

"Thank you — that means the world coming from a regular. We hear you on parking; we're working with the building on more spots out front. See you soon."

Sample exchange — illustrative, not a real customer
