Reviews & Reputation
FreeCollect star ratings and written reviews from real clients, display them on your public profile, and manage your online reputation — all automatically. Available on all plans.
Overview
The Reviews app automates the entire review collection process. After a client completes an appointment, order, or service order, GoConverso automatically sends a branded email inviting them to leave a review. Clients click a unique link, rate their experience on a 5-star scale, and optionally write a comment. Reviews appear on your public profile as social proof.
Key capabilities:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Automated Requests | Review emails sent automatically after completed appointments |
| Star Ratings | Clients rate their experience from 1 to 5 stars |
| Written Reviews | Optional comments up to 500 characters |
| Verified Reviews | Linked to real bookings, orders, and service orders for authenticity |
| Dashboard Management | View stats, filter by rating, respond to reviews, toggle visibility |
| Website Display | 3 design variants for your public profile (Classic, Carousel, Masonry) |
| Example Reviews | Add placeholder reviews while building your reputation |
Access: Go to Dashboard → Reviews to manage your reviews.
How It Works
Client completes an appointment
When a booking, order, or service order is marked as completed, the system queues a review request.
Review request email is sent
After a 2-hour delay, an automated edge function sends a branded email to the client with a unique review link. The system runs every hour via a scheduled cron job.
Client submits their review
The client clicks the tokenized link in the email, which opens a review page showing your business name and logo. They select a star rating and optionally write a comment.
Review appears on your profile
Once submitted, the review is marked as verified and appears on your public GoConverso profile. You can view and respond to it from your dashboard.
Automated Review Requests
GoConverso automatically collects reviews without any manual effort. The system works across all service types.
Supported Service Types
| Service Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Bookings | Scheduled appointments completed by the professional |
| Orders | E-commerce orders marked as completed |
| Service Orders | Repair or service orders marked as completed |
How Automation Works
- The
send-review-requestsedge function runs every hour via a pg_cron job - It queries all completed services from the last period that haven’t received a review request yet
- For each eligible service, it creates a
reviewsrecord with a uniquepublic_token - A branded email is sent to the client with a link to
/review/{token} - The send is logged in
review_email_logsto prevent duplicate emails
Timing
- Reviews are requested 2 hours after the service is completed — giving the client time to leave your business before being asked for feedback
- Each client receives only one review request per service (enforced by a unique constraint on service type + reference ID)
The review request system runs automatically — you don’t need to configure anything. As soon as you start completing appointments, review emails are sent to your clients.
Public Review Page
When a client clicks the review link in their email, they see a dedicated review page at /review/{token}.
What Clients See
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Business Logo | Your profile photo or business logo |
| Business Name | Your business name displayed prominently |
| Star Selector | Interactive 5-star rating with emoji labels |
| Comment Field | Optional text area (up to 500 characters) |
| Submit Button | Sends the review and shows a confirmation screen |

After Submission
Once a client submits their review:
- The review is marked as verified (
is_verified = true) - The rating and comment are saved
- A confirmation screen is displayed thanking the client
- The review becomes visible on your public profile (unless you hide it later)
Dashboard Management
Manage all your reviews from Dashboard → Reviews.
Statistics Cards
The dashboard displays 4 key metrics at the top:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Average Rating | Your overall rating across all visible reviews |
| Total Reviews | Total number of reviews received |
| With Comments | Number of reviews that include written feedback |
| Pending Responses | Reviews you haven’t responded to yet |
Filtering Reviews
Filter your review list by star rating:
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every review regardless of rating |
| 5 Stars | Only 5-star reviews |
| 4 Stars | Only 4-star reviews |
| 3 Stars | Only 3-star reviews |
| 2 Stars | Only 2-star reviews |
| 1 Star | Only 1-star reviews |
Review Actions
For each review, you can:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Toggle Visibility | Show or hide a review from your public profile. Hidden reviews still count in your private stats but are not visible to visitors. |
| Respond | Write a public response to the review. Your response is displayed alongside the client’s review on your profile. The response date is recorded automatically. |
Responding to reviews — especially negative ones — shows potential clients that you care about feedback. A professional response to a 2-star review can be more powerful than a dozen 5-star ratings.
Website Display
Add a Reviews section to your GoConverso website to showcase client feedback directly on your public profile.
Adding a Reviews Section
- Open the Website Editor from your dashboard
- Click Add Section and select Reviews
- Choose a display variant
Display Variants
| Variant | Style | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | List layout | Stacked review cards on a white background. Shows up to 6 reviews with star ratings, customer names, and comments. |
| Carousel | Animated slider | Horizontal carousel with prev/next navigation, dot indicators, and smooth Framer Motion animations. Shows avatar images. |
| Masonry | Dark theme | Dark background (bg-gray-900) with a masonry/column layout. Displays average rating, satisfaction percentage, and verified badges. |
Example Reviews
While you’re building your reputation and don’t have real reviews yet, you can add up to 3 example reviews using the Reviews Editor in the template sidebar:
- Set a customer name, service name, star rating, and comment for each example
- Use the “Use Default Reviews” button to populate 3 pre-written examples instantly
- Example reviews are automatically replaced when real customer reviews are received
Example reviews are clearly for preview purposes while editing your site. Once real clients submit reviews, they take priority and are displayed instead.
Verified Reviews
GoConverso reviews are linked to actual services, ensuring authenticity:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| service_type | Identifies the source: booking, order, or service_order |
| reference_id | Links to the specific appointment, order, or service order record |
| reference_number | Human-readable order/booking number |
| service_name | Name of the service the client received |
| service_date | When the service was performed |
| is_verified | Set to true when the client submits their review via the tokenized link |
This means every review on your profile is tied to a real transaction — clients can’t leave reviews without having actually used your services.
Review Statistics
The system calculates aggregate statistics from your visible reviews:
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Reviews | Count of all visible reviews |
| Average Rating | Mean rating across all visible reviews (1.0–5.0) |
| 5-Star Count | Number of 5-star reviews |
| 4-Star Count | Number of 4-star reviews |
| 3-Star Count | Number of 3-star reviews |
| 2-Star Count | Number of 2-star reviews |
| 1-Star Count | Number of 1-star reviews |
Statistics are calculated using the get_review_stats database function and only count visible reviews — hidden reviews are excluded from all public-facing metrics.
