Reviews = Trust and Trust = customers choosing you.
Google Review Software for Local Businesses
Review count, recency, and rating can influence how customers compare local businesses. RateInvite gives you an immediate QR code, consent-based SMS follow-up, and daily rating tracking so your request process stays consistent. Customizable physical products are sold separately through Brand Shop.
What this does for your business
A review request process you can actually measure.
RateInvite makes the request path visible, from QR scans and SMS delivery to invite-link clicks and daily Google rating snapshots. Review outcomes still depend on customer participation and Google publication decisions.
QR
Direct review-page access
A branded sign gives customers a direct, scannable path to the same Google review destination without searching for your listing.
SMS
Consent-based follow-up
Customers who explicitly opt in can receive one delayed review-link message, with sender identification and STOP handling built in.
Daily
Track what changes
The dashboard records request activity and stores daily Google rating and review-count snapshots for each connected location.
Your sign. Your brand.
A physical reminder for your review request workflow
A printed QR sign can sit on the counter so customers can scan when they choose. Customer participation and review publication are never guaranteed.
Physical products are available separately in Brand Shop. Choose a product, customize its available options, and pay the catalog price shown at checkout.
Long-term business value
Every review you earn today pays off for years
Published reviews remain part of your Google Business Profile unless the reviewer or Google removes them. A steady request process can help keep your profile current over time.
RateInvite tracks the process, but it does not guarantee publication, ranking changes, or customer decisions.
How it works
Set up one consistent request workflow.
RateInvite keeps the QR destination, opt-in flow, delayed SMS, and activity tracking together. Customers still choose whether to scan, opt in, and publish a review.
Link your Google review page
Paste your Google review URL. We generate a short invite link and branded QR code in seconds. No technical setup required.
Customize a Brand Shop product
Choose a current product and its available options, customize the design, and purchase it separately at the catalog price shown in Brand Shop.
Customers choose when to respond
Customers who opt in receive one delayed invite and can choose whether to open the link and share feedback on their own device.
Review daily snapshots
Your dashboard records invite-link clicks and stores daily Google rating and review-count snapshots so you can evaluate changes over time.

Why most review attempts fail
Your reviews are disappearing. You don't know it yet.
Google removes reviews that look coerced. If a customer writes one while still at your location, or right after being handed your phone, Google's AI flags it as influenced and deletes it. That's why owners try everything and still see their count barely move.
❌ What businesses try
Handing customers a phone at the counter. Asking while they're still inside. Using a shared tablet. Google sees the IP, the timing, and the location, and removes those reviews silently. You never find out.
✓ What actually works
A consent-based invite lets a customer decide whether to share feedback later on their own device. Google controls whether a submitted review is published or removed.
→ That's the entire RateInvite system
Your sign provides the entry point. Customers who explicitly opt in can receive one delayed SMS with the same review destination and opt-out instructions.

What could a stronger review profile be worth?
A Harvard Business School study found an association between a one-star Yelp rating increase and a 5–9% revenue lift for independent restaurants. That result is not a RateInvite outcome and should not be applied directly to Google reviews or every industry.
