Email is crowded and social media is noisy. To get 5-star reviews, you need to reach your customers where they actually look: their text messages.
Compare this to the 20% average for marketing emails. Your message will be read.
The majority of SMS messages are read within 90 seconds.
SMS response rates are 7.5x higher than email. More replies mean a faster climb up the Google Map Pack.
Google's local algorithm prioritizes Review Velocity (how fast you get reviews) and Recency (how new they are).
By using the high-engagement power of SMS, CF Gears ensures a steady stream of fresh ratings that signals to Google your business is the top-tier choice in your city.
Our simple, straightforward approach makes getting Google Reviews as easy as clicking "send".
Use our CF Gears system to send a friendly text message to your customer.
Your customer receives a message with a link requesting a Google Review.
Your customer clicks the link and is sent to your Google Review page.
Most "cheap" SMS tools use unverified numbers that carriers block as spam. Not CF Gears.
Friction is the enemy of reviews. CF Gears removes every possible barrier between your customer and your Google page.
Pro accounts can use a library of pre-approved SMS message templates and set a default, so staff can send review requests in one click without typing anything. Every message stays on-brand and consistent, no matter who's sending it.
Select from pre-approved messages that the whole team can use.
Set a default so every new request starts with the right message — no decisions required.
