How RatingFlow works

RatingFlow is built on a smart-routing system that segments customer sentiment before it reaches public review platforms. This architecture protects your brand reputation while maximizing positive social proof.

The smart-routing workflow

1

Review request delivery

You deliver review requests to customers through multiple channels:
  • SMS/Text messages: Automated bulk or individual text messages with a direct link
  • Email campaigns: Branded email requests sent from your domain
  • QR codes: Scannable codes placed at your physical location
All methods direct customers to a private RatingFlow landing page—not directly to Google or other public platforms.

Private sentiment capture

When customers click your review link or scan your QR code, they land on a branded page where they rate their experience privately.This is the critical filter layer:
Customers never see Google, Facebook, or any public platform at this stage. They simply provide an honest rating in a neutral environment.
Rating options include:
  • Star ratings (1-5 stars)
  • Numeric scores (1-10)
  • Emoji feedback (happy, neutral, sad)

Intelligent routing decision

Based on the customer’s rating, RatingFlow automatically routes them to one of two paths:

5 star reviews generator (positive path)

Customers who rate 4-5 stars are immediately redirected to public review platforms:
  • Google Maps/Google Business Profile
  • Facebook Business Page
  • Trustpilot
  • Yelp (if applicable)
  • Industry-specific platforms
This automated redirect to public platforms is what makes RatingFlow a powerful 5 star reviews generator. Happy customers are guided to leave public reviews with minimal friction.

Negative feedback shield (protection path)

Customers who rate 1-3 stars are redirected to a private feedback form instead:
  • They never reach public platforms
  • They can describe their concerns in detail
  • You receive an immediate notification
  • You can respond directly and resolve the issue
  • The negative sentiment never impacts your public rating
This doesn’t suppress legitimate reviews—it gives you a chance to fix problems before they become permanent public damage.

  • Real-time notification of new reviews (both public and private)
  • Analytics on request delivery, open rates, and response rates
