How did we do today?
Hi Alex, thanks for choosing us today. If you have a minute, an honest review on Google helps our small team more than you would think.

Why consistent review requests matter
Same service. Similar ratings.
Different first impressions.
Imagine someone comparing two businesses in the same trade. Both have strong ratings, but one gives them more customer experiences to read, and more recent ones.

Prairie Clean & Detail

146 customer reviews · newest 4 days ago
A similar rating, with more customer experiences to read, and a steady flow of new ones.
Illustrative example. Fictional businesses and review counts. These are designed examples, not Google screenshots or Digital8 client results.
Your rating tells part of the story.
Your customers’ reviews tell the rest.
Make it easier for customers to share their experience after each job. Google gives weight to how recent reviews are, so a few new ones every month do more than a pile of old ones. More reviews alone do not guarantee higher rankings, more enquiries or sales.

A review request system,
set up for your business.
We agree on how completed jobs are recorded, connect your Google review link, and prepare the messages with you. Your team knows exactly when requests go out.
Ask at the right moment
Send a short text or email after a completed job, with a direct link for customers to share their experience. One reminder a few days later if they have not responded.
Make it easy to respond
Use a clear message and a review link or QR code. Give every eligible customer the same opportunity to leave honest feedback.
Keep track of progress
See request activity and changes in your profile over time. Adjust the process around what your team and customers need.
Set up by Daniel Plotnik, Digital8Daniel runs Digital8 from Winnipeg and builds these systems himself for shops across the Prairies. You deal with him directly, from the first comparison to the day your requests go live.

Your first step · Free comparison
See where your Google profile stands.
Tell me your business name and I will send you a one page comparison of your Google profile against a comparable local business, with one practical next step. No call needed, no obligation.
What you get:
- Your rating, review count and how recent your reviews are
- The same numbers for a comparable competitor in your area
- What those numbers mean for someone choosing between you
- One practical next step, whether or not you work with us
Good questions
A straightforward approach.
What exactly is in the free comparison?
One page: your Google rating, review count and how recent your reviews are, next to the same numbers for a comparable local business, plus one practical next step. I look it up by hand from Google Maps and email it to you within one business day.
Can you guarantee more reviews or higher rankings?
We cannot promise them. Customers decide whether to leave a review, and Google determines rankings. What we can do is take the risk off you: for the first three businesses, nothing is charged until day 30, and if you get fewer than 5 new Google reviews in that first month, you don't pay. We do not guarantee ratings, rankings, leads or sales.
Do you only ask happy customers?
No. The process asks eligible customers for honest feedback regardless of sentiment. We do not offer incentives or filter customers to collect only positive reviews.
Can’t I get a Google review link for free?
Yes. Google provides review links and QR codes. Our service is setting up the request process, fitting it into your workflow, and helping your team maintain it.
What happens after the free comparison?
If the numbers show room to improve and you want help, the plan above is the whole offer: $350 to set it up and $99 a month for the first five businesses, no contract. The first three also get the guarantee: no setup fee, and no charge for the first month if it brings fewer than 5 new reviews. If there is no fit, you keep the comparison and we part ways.
