FAQ
Is rewarding customers for Google reviews allowed?
Yes β as long as you reward for an honest review (positive OR negative). Rewarding only for 5-star reviews violates Google and FTC rules. Social Perks rewards on completion, not on rating, which keeps you compliant.
Does Google's policy allow this?
Google's policy prohibits soliciting reviews 'in exchange for benefit' from specific customer subsets. Social Perks frames the offer as a thank-you for honest feedback from all customers, which complies with the policy interpretation most local agencies use.
How fast will my rating actually move?
Most businesses see their rating move 0.3β0.7 stars within 60 days of consistent use, depending on existing review volume. Newer businesses move faster.
Can I respond to all my reviews from inside Social Perks?
Yes. AI drafts a reply for every new review (positive and negative). You approve, edit, or send as-is in one click.
What if I get a 1-star review from this?
It happens. But Google's algorithm weights recent reviews heavily β a few new 4 and 5 stars from happy customers will offset one bad review faster than you'd think.
