Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt

Prerequisites

  • Birdeye Reviews.
  • Post-job trigger (FSM integration or daily contact import).

Step-by-step setup

Step 1. Send post-job review requests. Campaigns → Create automation → Review → trigger when the contact is added from your integration → send by SMS and email (their case: each channel ~45% conversion).

Step 2. Track tech outreach. Use Birdeye's employee leaderboard (or export) so techs see who is asking and who is not.

Step 3. Reply from one dashboard. Turn on new-review alerts; respond in Birdeye instead of hunting Google/Facebook separately.

Step 4. Optional AI drafts. Reviews AI → Agents → Response agents with Post after approval for faster replies that still get a human eye.

Step 5. Watch local SEO. More reviews + replies usually lift map-pack visibility (Mr. Electric's goal after inheriting a poor prior-owner reputation).

Copy-paste prompt

Write SMS (under 160) and email review-request copy for {{company}} electrical after a completed job.
Include {{review_link}}. Warm, one ask, no guilt.
