Admin Instructions: Setting Up Frontline Users

The mobile request option through the Reputation mobile app (iOS | Android) allows your frontline employees to send a review request SMS message to a customer on-the-spot. The app includes gamification to incentivize your staff to continually request reviews for maximum search rankings.

Considerations for implementing the app for your organization:

• If SMS Opt-In is enabled for your account, the recipient must first reply YES to confirm initial consent to receive text messages from your business. Because one-off requests sent person-to-person do not infringe upon United States telecommunication laws, we typically recommend disabling this setting when sending requests from the mobile app for maximum response rate; however, follow your own corporate messaging guidelines.
• Each frontline employee who will request reviews from the app must have a mobile device with the Reputation mobile app installed (iOS | Android).
• Each requester must also have a user profile created within your platform account (Admin > Users). Alternatively, you can have your employees use a magic link to log in so that you don’t have to send welcome emails or require them to set up a password. However, this option requires users to be able to check their company email on their mobile devices. See user instructions below.
• The app contains a leaderboard for frontline employees to see who has requested the most reviews at their location. Additionally, you can use the leaderboard within the web application to see request leaders across multiple locations.

Customer Request Experience

The recipient receives an SMS message and clicks the link to open review site options for the location they visited. If SMS Opt-In is enabled for your account, the recipient must first reply YES to confirm initial consent to receive text messages from your business.

The recipient can reply STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE to stop receiving requests. You will not be notified if a recipient unsubscribes.

Leaderboard

The more review requests you send, the higher your ranking on the app Leaderboard. The Leaderboard shows you who has sent the most review requests at your location.
