FAQ – How Reviewly Helps You Get Found, Trusted, and Chosen

At Reviewly, we don’t just help you generate reviews we review your entire online presence to uncover what’s holding you back.

From your website and Google Business Profile to your local SEO fingerprint and how you're showing up in AI search results, we help you stand out where it matters most.

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked:

Frequently Asked Questions

We're here to make things simpler.

What does Reviewly actually do?

We review your entire digital fingerprint and fix what's blocking your business from being found, trusted, and chosen.

That includes technical SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, AI search visibility, and trust signals.

Why is it called "Reviewly" if you’re not a review tool?

Great question. The name comes from our core process: we review your entire online presence.

We identify gaps and opportunities, then implement proven local strategies that drive rankings, trust, and leads.

How do you help local businesses stand out online?

By fixing what others miss. We go beyond "more content" or "backlinks" and focus on the highest-impact trust and visibility factors.

Especially those tied to Google Maps, AI results, and customer trust.

What do you "review" in the audit?

Your website, on-page SEO, Google Business Profile setup, keyword strategy, competitor positioning, trust factors (like reviews), local signals, and visibility in AI search surfaces.

What happens after the review is complete?

We show you a plain-English breakdown of what’s working, what’s broken, and what we’ll do to fix it.

You can either DIY or let our team implement the changes

Do you manage the changes, or just advise?

We manage everything for you — GBP, content, AI visibility, technical fixes, and trust signals. It’s hands-free.

How do you improve our Google rankings?

Through a mix of local SEO, GBP optimisation, AI content strategies, and visibility techniques that bypass old-school blog-heavy SEO models.

What’s the difference between organic SEO and local SEO?

Organic SEO focuses on national rankings. Local SEO is about dominating in your service area — especially in Google Maps and AI-powered local results.

Will this help me show up in AI search results?

Yes. We structure your content, GBP, and online presence so AI engines (like Google SGE and ChatGPT ) recognise your information and show your business to potential clients.

What’s involved in GBP optimisation?

We update your categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A, and more — all in line with ranking signals and Google's evolving AI models.

Will you manage our GBP ongoing?

Yes. We post weekly, track insights, and update your profile to match changes in search trends.

Can you help if we already have an agency?

Absolutely. Many agencies overlook GBP entirely. We can run alongside them or take over local visibility fully.

How do you help build trust online?

We ensure your business looks trustworthy at every digital touchpoint: 5-star reviews, consistent branding, GBP optimisation, and professional web presence.

Do reviews help my rankings?

Yes. Google prioritises businesses with high volume, high-quality reviews especially recent ones less than 30 days old.

Do you automate review requests?

Yes, we can help you automate SMS, email, or QR-code-based review collection but this is just one part of a broader trust strategy.

What is Satellite Search and how is it different from traditional SEO?

Satellite Search is our priority AI-powered visibility system that helps local businesses rank across Google Maps, local packs, and AI search. Not through blogs, but through smart content hubs called “search satellites.” It’s designed for how Google works now, not how it worked five years ago.

Is Reviewly a software platform?

No. We’re not a tool you log into. We’re a visibility partner that gets hands-on with your business.

Do I have to log in anywhere?

Nope. We handle everything for you.

What types of businesses does this work best for?

Any service-based or multi-location business. This includes trades (plumbers, electricians), health clinics, law firms, real estate agencies, and franchise brands.

Especially those needing visibility across multiple suburbs or service areas.

Can you manage our Google Business Profile too?

Yes! We fully optimise your GBP including categories, service areas, posts, images, and AI-friendly content.

Most of your customers will see your GBP before they see your website which makes this so important if you want to increase your online fingerprint getting more calls and queries across the board.

Do you offer review request tools?

We do. Our Review Engine is a built for purpose and automated request process just for your business and client behaviours. It includes follow ups, and perfectly curated responses. Our process helps your business grow trust with Google and increases your local rankings.

Will I still need to write blog content?

No. Satellite Search replaces traditional blogging with daily AI-generated content across your keyword focused micro-sites.

Our clients have saved countless hours and now rank better without lifting a finger.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients start seeing visibility gains within 30 - 90 days, with major uplift in 120 days. We don’t chase rankings we build lasting visibility. We don't see our services as a cost but rather an investment.

How do you measure success?

We track map views, profile visits, call volumes, keyword rankings, and AI search visibility. You'll get a dashboard with all the key data, updated regularly

Can we still use our existing website and marketing?

Absolutely our HEAT Method & Satellite Search System doesn’t replace your site. However, we may need to carry out an audit and make improvements. Then our Satellite System surrounds it with high-performing local satellites that boost visibility and drive traffic back to you.

How much does it cost?

Our plans are tailored based on your business size, service areas, and competition. Get started with a free visibility audit and we’ll show you the best path forward
