Automatic Review Generation in GoHighLevel (Step-by-Step Guide)

Online reviews play a huge role in how customers choose a business. Whether you run a local service, agency, or clinic, more positive reviews mean more trust and more conversions. GoHighLevel makes it easy to automate the entire review generation process.

This guide explains how to set up automatic review requests, filter feedback, and increase your 5-star ratings using GoHighLevel.

Why Review Generation Matters

Before setting up automation, it is important to understand why reviews are critical:

• Improve local search rankings
• Build trust with new customers
• Increase conversion rates
• Strengthen brand reputation

For industries like dental clinics, reviews directly impact bookings. You can see how this works in detail here: GoHighLevel for Dentist.

How Automatic Review Generation Works

GoHighLevel allows you to send review requests automatically after a customer interaction. This usually happens after:

• Appointment completion
• Service delivery
• Purchase confirmation

The system sends a message asking for feedback, and based on the response, directs users to leave a public review or provide private feedback.

Step 1: Create a Review Request Workflow

Go to the Workflows section and create a new automation.

1. Select a trigger such as appointment status completed
2. Add a delay of a few hours or one day
3. Add an action to send SMS or email

This ensures customers receive the request at the right time.

Step 2: Write a Simple Review Request Message

Your message should be short and friendly.

Example:

"Hi John, thanks for choosing us. We would love your feedback. Please click here to share your experience."

You can send this via SMS or email depending on your setup. Make sure your email system is configured correctly by following this guide: Email Setup in HighLevel.

Step 3: Use a Review Funnel

A review funnel helps filter feedback before sending users to public platforms.

• If the user gives positive feedback, direct them to Google or Facebook
• If the user gives negative feedback, collect it privately

This protects your public reputation while still capturing valuable feedback.

Step 4: Connect Review Platforms

Inside GoHighLevel, connect your review platforms such as Google Business Profile or Facebook.

This allows you to send users directly to your review pages.

Step 5: Automate Follow-Ups

Not every customer will respond to the first request. Set up follow-ups:

• Reminder after 24 hours
• Second reminder after 3 days

This increases response rates significantly.

Step 6: Stay Compliant With SMS Rules

If you are sending review requests via SMS, make sure you follow messaging regulations.
