What GoHighLevel Reputation Management does

GHL Reputation Management has two main parts: review generation and review monitoring.

Review generation: you set up a workflow that sends a review request (via SMS or email) to every contact after an event such as a completed appointment or a closed sale. The message includes a direct link to your Google Business Profile review page. The contact taps the link and leaves a review in seconds.

Review monitoring: GHL connects to your Google Business Profile and pulls in new reviews. You see them in the GHL Reputation dashboard as they come in. You can reply to any review directly from GHL without logging into Google.

You can add a private feedback form, but it must never decide who gets the review link. Send every customer the same Google review request and offer the feedback form as an extra option. Google calls selective requests review gating and does not allow it.

How to set up review automation in GoHighLevel

First, connect your Google Business Profile in GHL settings under Integrations. Authorize the connection and select the location.

Second, go to Reputation and set your review request message. Write a short, personal SMS that thanks the client and asks for a review. Include the GHL smart link that goes directly to your Google review page.

Third, build a workflow. Set the trigger to Appointment Status Changed to Completed (or whatever event marks the end of the service for your business). Add a wait step of 24 hours, then add the Send Review Request action.

Fourth, if you want direct feedback as well, add an optional one question survey (How was your experience? 1 to 5) to the same message or a follow up. Everyone still receives the Google review link, whatever they answer. Use low scores to follow up personally.

Fifth, monitor incoming reviews in the Reputation dashboard. Set up a notification so your team sees new reviews immediately.

Use cases for reputation management

Local service businesses: dentists, HVAC companies, roofers, and restaurants send a review request within 24 hours of every completed service. Google lists review count and score among the signals it uses for local results.

Agencies selling review services: reputation management is one of the easiest services to sell to local businesses. You build the automation once inside a Snapshot and resell it to every client in that niche.

Multi-location businesses: connect multiple Google Business Profiles to one GHL account. Manage all location reviews from one inbox.

GHL Reputation Management vs Birdeye and Podium

Birdeye and Podium are dedicated reputation management platforms that charge $300 to $500 per month per location for review automation, monitoring, and messaging.

GHL includes reputation management in every plan with no per-location fee beyond the base subscription. The functionality covers the same core use case: automated review requests and centralized reply management.

Birdeye and Podium have more advanced review analytics and competitor review monitoring. GHL wins on price and integration: review activity feeds directly into the CRM and can trigger workflows without additional setup.

Questions people ask

Can GoHighLevel send review requests to Google automatically?

Yes. Set up a workflow that sends an SMS or email with a review request link to contacts after a completed appointment or purchase. The link goes directly to your Google review form.

Can I reply to Google reviews from GoHighLevel?

Yes. When your Google Business Profile is connected to GHL, incoming reviews appear in the Reputation dashboard. You can write and post a reply from GHL without going to Google.

Does GHL reputation management work for multiple locations?

Yes. You can connect multiple Google Business Profiles to one GHL account. Each location shows its reviews separately in the Reputation dashboard.

Can I send the review link only to happy customers?

No. Google calls that review gating and does not allow it: you may not ask only satisfied customers for a review or steer unhappy ones away. Send the same review request to every customer. You can add an optional private feedback form next to it, so people can also tell you directly what went wrong.

Is GHL reputation management available on the Starter plan?

Yes. Reputation management is included on all plans starting at Starter ($97/mo).

Does GHL monitor Facebook reviews too?

GHL focuses primarily on Google reviews for the automated request and reply features. Facebook reviews can be connected for monitoring through GHL social integrations, but the depth of automation is stronger for Google.
