- Birdeye Reviews (+ Listings if you want Google Seller Ratings help).
- QR codes printable for counters; SMS-capable customer phones with consent.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Create review automations. Campaigns (left rail) → Create automation → Review → trigger Contact is added (sources: Integration, Bulk Import, Check-in…) → schedule immediately or after a short delay → save.
Step 2. Add in-store QR. Print QR codes that open your Google review link (or Birdeye request page) at checkout.
Step 3. SMS review asks. Include SMS templates in the automation for post-purchase follow-up.
Step 4. Centralize listings/reviews. Use Birdeye Listings so NAP data stays consistent across stores.
Step 5. AI replies at volume. Reviews AI → Agents → Response agents → Review Response Agent → prefer Post after approval until you trust the tone → Run test → publish. Approvals: Settings → Reviews → Approval.
Step 6. Google Seller Ratings. Once review volume is strong, enable GSR on ads with your Birdeye/Google rep so stars show on search ads.
