How it works - your customers' experience.

1. When a customer makes an order, they will receive the Google Review Request Automation (once enabled).
2. This automation has a CTA (call-to-action) button that will ask the customer to leave a review on the Google business site where they made their purchase. e.g. IF the customer made a purchase at the George Street Store, the CTA will lead them to the Google business page for the George Street store. 
3. The customer will leave their Google Review - Including a star rating & have the option to leave an additional comment & photo.
