The only review tool that keeps your Google listing safe

Some tools quietly block unhappy customers from Google. That is review gating, and it can get your listing removed.

Reviewtail never does that. Every customer gets the same public review link, and anyone who had a problem can also reach you privately first. Same path for everyone, plus a chance to make it right.

No review gating. Every customer can leave a public review, we just make the experience great.
Compliant with Google's review policies. Built on the feedback-first approach Google recommends.
Your listing stays safe. No risk of suspension, penalisation, or review removal.

FAQ

Everything you're wondering, answered.

Yes. Review gating, screening customers by sentiment and only sending happy ones to Google while diverting unhappy ones away, violates Google's Maps Rating Manipulation policy, reinforced in the April 2026 update.

Reviewtail's Feedback Funnel invites every customer to leave a public Google review the same way, and anyone who had a problem can also reach you privately first. We never block anyone from posting publicly. We make the experience better, which naturally grows your reviews and your rating.

Reviewtail does this automatically with QR codes, the tap-to-review Plate, and automated email requests, so you collect more 5-star reviews without ever chasing anyone. Around 70% of happy customers leave a review when asked this way, versus under 5% who do it on their own.

You improve your Google rating by getting more recent 5-star reviews and fixing the issues behind negative ones.
