Three steps. Set up once. It runs itself from there.
Add your customer's name and phone number. Takes 30 seconds. That's all we need to get started.
A friendly review request goes out — from your business name, timed to land while their experience is still fresh in their mind.
Reviews come in, AI drafts a reply in your voice. You review it, post in seconds. Not minutes.
We haven't found a competitor that offers all three of these. Most don't offer any of them.
Every review gets a draft reply that sounds like you wrote it — your tone, your business language, your sign-off. Post in seconds, not minutes.
All plansAs your reputation grows, your subscription bill shrinks. Gold Reviews gives you discounts for building more reviews — up to 15% off. We haven't found another platform that does that.
Growth & aboveEvery customer gets the same choice — Google review or private feedback. When someone chooses private feedback with a low score, it comes straight to your dashboard. An automated follow-up goes out within 24 hours so you can resolve the issue and rebuild the relationship.
Growth & aboveGold Reviews pays you to grow it — we haven't found another review platform that does. Share your referral link and earn 20% commission in your first year, then ongoing trailing commissions on every business you bring in — full schedule on the partner page.
I started Gold Reviews as an experiment — but somewhere along the way, it became something bigger. After 20 years running trades and retail businesses, I'd seen firsthand how hard small business owners work and how little help they get.
They don't need another overpriced platform or a $300/month price tag. They need tools that actually work, at a price that doesn't hurt. No jargon. No bloated features. Just a tool built by someone who's been on your side of the counter — and one that earns you money the more you use it.

Gold Reviews is built around Google's review policies: every customer gets the same review link regardless of their expected rating — no gating, no filtering. We actively monitor Google's policies and update the platform whenever they change.
Every customer gets the same choice — leave a Google review or share private feedback. On Growth and Dominate plans, when a customer chooses private feedback with a low score, the Comeback Engine kicks in: their feedback comes to your private dashboard, an automated check-in SMS goes out within 24 hours, and you get an escalation alert at 7 days if it's still unresolved. You can follow up, fix the issue, and rebuild the relationship — all within your dashboard.
Starter covers the core product — SMS review requests, AI draft replies, and your dashboard. Growth adds competitor tracking, the Trust Score rewards system (earn discounts on your subscription), the Comeback Engine for private feedback recovery, Proof Vault for testimonial management, and the Gold Partner referral program. Most businesses who want the full platform choose Growth.
