Positioning

Most businesses ask for reviews when they remember.
Strelve asks every single time a job finishes.
Then follows up. Then asks for the referral.

The difference between a handful of reviews and a steady stream is not asking better -- asking systematically. Strelve ties the review request to the only moment that matters: when the job is done and the customer is happiest.

How it flows

From job done to next lead -- all connected.

Completion protection -- each email fires once

The review request, reminder, and referral each have atomic send claims. Even if a manual dashboard send and an automated daily cron fire simultaneously, only one email goes out per stage. No duplicate asks.

How it works

Complete. Request. Remind. Refer.

01

Job marked complete

Operator marks the job as won and complete in the dashboard. Strelve detects the completion and queues the review request.

02

Review email sent automatically

Customer receives a branded email from your business asking for feedback. The CTA button links directly to your Google review page -- no extra clicks.

03

Follow-up reminder if needed

If no review after 7 days, a gentle reminder goes out. You control the copy and timing. Stops automatically when a review is left.

04

Referral ask triggers after review

Once the review is done, a referral email asks if they know someone who needs the same work. New leads flow straight into your estimator.

Setup in 4 steps

From review link to automated reputation in minutes.

01

Add your Google review link

Paste your Google review URL (g.page, maps.app.goo.gl, search.google.com/writereview, or Place ID) in Settings > Company. Strelve validates and canonicalises it automatically.

02

Customise the email template

Adjust subject, heading, body, and CTA text in Lead Emails > Review Requests. Use {{firstName}}, {{clientName}}, and {{businessName}} placeholders. Preview before saving.

03

Enable and test

Turn on the review request toggle. Submit a test lead, mark it won, and verify the email arrives with your branding and working link.

04

Optional: SMS review request

On Professional, a review text rides along with the email using your verified custom domain as a short link. Enable in Lead Emails > Review Requests.

What you get

Everything needed to compound reviews without the admin.

Automatic on job completion

No manual trigger needed. When you mark a lead as Won with a completion date, the review request queues instantly.

Branded email from your business

Email uses your logo, colours, and sender name. Customer sees it as coming from you -- not Strelve.

Smart link canonicalisation

Accepts any Google review URL format (Place ID, short links, Maps URLs, g.page) and converts to the direct writereview link.

7-day follow-up reminder

Optional reminder email if no review after a week. Stops automatically when review is detected via short-link click tracking.

Built-in referral loop

After the review, an automated referral email asks if they know someone who needs the same work. New leads enter your estimator.

SMS option on custom domain

The Professional plan can send a review text with a branded short link (yourdomain.co.nz/r/...) alongside the email.

Frequently asked questions

What Google review link formats work?
Any valid Google review destination: Place ID (ChI...), short links (goo.gl, maps.app.goo.gl), Maps listing URLs, search.google.com/local/writereview links, and g.page/r/.../review URLs. Strelve validates and canonicalises them to the direct writereview format automatically.
Does the review request send from Strelve or my email?
The email sends via Strelve's email infrastructure (Resend) but uses your business name as the sender name and your contact email as the reply-to. To the customer, it looks like it came from you.
Can I customise the email content?
Yes. In Lead Emails > Review Requests you can edit the subject, heading, body, footer, CTA text, and whether the CTA button shows. Placeholders {{firstName}}, {{clientName}}, and {{businessName}} are replaced per recipient.
What happens if a customer leaves a review -- does the reminder still send?
No. The reminder only fires if 7 days pass after the initial request AND no review click has been tracked via the short link. Once the short link is clicked, the reminder is suppressed for that lead.
Is the referral email separate from the review request?
Yes. The referral email is a distinct automation that triggers after the review request sequence completes (or is skipped). It has its own template, delay (default 7 days after job completion), and enable toggle in Lead Emails > Referral Requests.
Do I need a custom domain for the SMS review link?
Yes. The SMS review request uses a short link on your verified custom domain (e.g. reviews.yourbusiness.co.nz/r/abc123). This keeps the message under one SMS segment and maintains brand trust. Without a verified custom domain, the SMS is skipped with a visible reason in the activity timeline.
What plan is required for review requests?
Review request emails are available on all plans including Starter ($99/mo). The SMS review request and referral automation require Professional ($399/mo).
Can I disable review requests for specific lead categories?
The review request is a form-level setting with a single enable toggle. It applies to all leads from that questionnaire when they reach Won status. For category-specific control, you would use separate questionnaires per service line.
