RatingBoostly is a review and reputation platform built for European businesses, agencies, and brands with multiple locations. We help you get more reviews on the platforms your customers check most, including Google, Trustpilot, Tripadvisor, and Capterra. Standard Google review packages start at just €17, so you can start small and scale as you grow.

Yes. We never ask for your Google login, and every order is tracked through a clear dashboard. Combine our service with genuine good work and your growth will hold up over time.

No. We only need your public business name or Google Maps link to send your reviews to the right place. Your account credentials stay completely private.

Most orders begin within a few hours of payment. Timing can vary based on your package size and profile status, but you will always be able to track progress live.

We use structured delivery workflows for reviews, photo reviews, Local Guide reviews, and replies. Checkout is encrypted, and your Google password is never part of the process.

A stronger rating and more reviews can help your business look more established to local searchers. That said, Google's algorithm depends on many factors, so use this as one part of a broader approach.

Yes. Photos give customers a better sense of what to expect before they visit. They work especially well when launching a new location, updating a menu, or competing in a crowded market.

Absolutely. Agencies, freelancers, and multi-location brands all use RatingBoostly. Manage everything from one central dashboard and pay securely in euros.

No, and no reputable provider ever will. All that is needed is the public business name or the Google Maps link, which is the same information any customer can see. Your login stays yours. If a provider asks for account access, that on its own is a reason to walk away.

Yes. We use encrypted, industry-standard payment gateways. You will never be asked for card details over chat or email, and a receipt is sent with every order.

Most orders begin within a few hours of the payment clearing. The exact timing depends on the size of the pack, the queue ahead of you, and the state of the profile itself. Progress appears in your dashboard as it happens, so there is nothing to chase and nobody to email for a status update.

People form a first impression based on your star rating before they read a single review. A strong score puts you ahead of nearby competitors before anyone clicks through.

Yes. Thoughtful replies show customers you care. Pair them with a growing review count and photo reviews to keep your profile active and convincing.

Very. The ordering process is designed to be clear at every step. Prices are in euros, fields are simple to fill in, and our support team is available if you get stuck.

It depends on the platform and the size of the pack. Smaller orders usually start moving within a few days, larger orders are spread over several weeks on purpose. A profile that gains fifty reviews overnight looks exactly like what it is, so we pace delivery to match how a busy business actually accumulates feedback. The expected window is shown on every package before you buy, and the live progress is visible in your account.

The public link to the profile you want to build, the trading name exactly as it appears there, and anything you want mentioned or avoided. If you sell several services and want the feedback weighted towards one of them, say so at checkout. Nothing else is required. We never ask for logins, and you should refuse any provider that does.

Yes. If a review does not settle within the cover period stated on your order, it is replaced at no cost. Platforms run their own filters and no honest provider can promise a hundred percent survival rate on every single entry, so the guarantee is written around replacement rather than around a number we cannot control.

Only if it is done carelessly. Volume that arrives too fast, wording that reads like a template, and accounts that have no history are the three things that get a profile flagged. All three are avoidable, and avoiding them is most of what you are paying for.

Yes. There are six country sites because those are the markets where pricing, currency and consumer law are set up properly, and an international site for everywhere else, priced in US dollars. Wherever you are, the work is the same. If your market needs something the international site does not cover, send a message with the profile link and you will get a straight answer.

Card through Square, or cryptocurrency through Cryptomus. Both take you to the provider's own secure checkout, so card details never touch this site. A receipt arrives by email as soon as payment clears, and the order status updates on its own.

Yes. Guest checkout only asks for an email address and a phone number, and the order can be tracked from the link in your confirmation email. Creating an account is worth it if you plan to order more than once, because it keeps every order, receipt and progress report in one place.

They help it look established, which is usually the real problem a new listing has. Visibility still depends on Google's local algorithm and on the experience customers actually get, so treat this as one part of a plan rather than the whole of it. A strong profile attached to poor service corrects itself quickly, and not in your favour.

They do, and out of proportion to their number. A photograph is read before a single word of the review is, which makes it the fastest trust signal on a listing. They matter most when someone is deciding between two places they have never visited, so they pay for themselves around a new opening, a refit or a menu change.

Yes, and a good share of the work is exactly that. Franchise groups and agencies order the same packages, usually across several locations at once, and manage the lot from one dashboard. If you are running more than about ten profiles, send a message before you order and the packages can be arranged to match how you actually bill your own clients.

Card details never touch this site. Square and Cryptomus each host their own checkout, which is where the payment actually happens, and you come back here with a receipt. Nobody from this business will ever ask you to send card numbers over WhatsApp, email or chat. If that request arrives, it did not come from us.

A profile with replies under its reviews reads as a business someone is paying attention to, and that is worth more than the wording of any individual reply. They work best alongside genuine review volume rather than instead of it. On their own, replies to a thin profile draw attention to how thin it is.

It is built for that case. Prices are on the page rather than behind a quote, the fields at checkout tell you what they want, and this page answers most of what comes up before it comes up. If a package still looks like the wrong fit, send a message and you will get a straight answer, including when the answer is that you do not need it yet.

Whichever your customers use. A listing in Lisbon read in Portuguese, one in Milan in Italian, one in Brussels often in two. Tell us where the business actually trades and the content is written to match. A review in the wrong language for the city it claims to come from is the most visible error it is possible to make on a profile.

Yes. Prices are shown and charged in euros with tax included, so the price on the package is the price you pay. An invoice is issued with every order.

Yes. Prices are charged in euros and your bank converts at its own rate, which is the same arrangement as any other cross border purchase. Nothing about the service changes: tell us the country and the city a listing serves and the reviewers are matched to it.

It sets the standard we work to in every market, here and elsewhere. We collect a name, an email address, the public link to your profile and your briefing notes, and nothing else. Nothing is sold, nothing is used for marketing you did not ask for, and you can ask us to delete what we hold at any point.

Google Local Guides are active, verified contributors within the Google Maps community. A review from an everyday user counts. A review from a certified Local Guide tends to count for considerably more.

Google Local Guides are active, verified members of the Google Maps community. When an ordinary user leaves a review, it counts. When a certified Local Guide leaves one, it counts for much more.

Yes, when done properly. Safety relies entirely on account authority and posting velocity. We use aged, verified Local Guide profiles on local European residential networks with natural drip-feed delivery, ensuring complete platform safety.

Never. We only need your public Google Business Profile URL or Google Maps link. We will never ask for administrative passwords or access.

Yes. You can supply your own copy in French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or English, or simply provide keywords for us to build authentic, industry-specific reviews around.

Drop-offs are rare when using high-authority Local Guides, but every order includes our 30-day non-drop refill guarantee. If a review is removed, we replace it completely free of charge.

Google processes new review signals within 7 to 14 days of posting. Most European businesses notice increased calls, web traffic, and higher Map Pack positions within the first month of a consistent campaign.

Level four and above, because that is where the badge and the contribution count actually appear next to the name. Below level four a Local Guide is indistinguishable from any other account to somebody reading the profile, so you would be paying for something nobody can see. If a provider is cheaper than this, that is usually the corner being cut.

To a reader, clearly yes. A badge and a few hundred contributions answer the question everyone silently asks, which is whether this person reviews anything else. Whether Google itself weights them more heavily in ranking is not something Google has confirmed, so we do not claim it. The reader effect is real and provable; the ranking effect is not, and pages that promise it are guessing.

Because the supply is genuinely limited. An aged account with years of real contributions cannot be manufactured on demand, and the ones worth using are already busy. Rushing this service means dropping the account standard, which defeats the point of buying it. If you need volume quickly, standard Google reviews are the right product and this one is not.

Almost always, and most orders that work are a mix. A profile made up entirely of high level Local Guides is its own kind of odd, because real businesses do not attract only badge holders. A sensible shape is a base of ordinary reviews with Local Guides among them, which is what an established listing actually looks like.

Yes, when it is handled properly. We use aged, active traveller accounts with real contribution histories, paired with residential routing and gradual drip-feed scheduling. Together, those safeguards help protect your listing from flags and penalties.

Never. We only need your public TripAdvisor listing link. We will not ask for your password or admin access at any point.

Absolutely. Send pre-written text, list the features you want highlighted, such as renovated rooms, a new menu, or a standout staff member, or let our travel writers handle the copy for you.

Studies consistently show that over 80% of travellers read reviews before booking. A stronger bubble rating and a fuller review count reduce hesitation, which helps you hold premium rates while keeping volume steady.

Every TripAdvisor package includes a 30-day non-drop refill warranty. If a review drops during or after delivery, our system replaces it free of charge to keep your numbers where you want them.

Weeks rather than days, and that is a property of the ranking rather than of the delivery. Tripadvisor scores quality, quantity and recency together and recalculates slowly, so a burst of reviews produces a slow climb rather than a jump. Anybody promising a position by a given date is describing something they cannot control.

Reviews are written from travellers whose profiles make sense for the trip they are describing, which is what keeps a listing in a small coastal town from filling up with reviewers who have never left a capital city. You choose the regions your guests actually come from, including international ones, and the accounts are matched to that rather than to wherever is cheapest.

Yes, and you approve them before anything is posted. That approval step is standard on this service rather than optional, because a factual error in a travel review is visible to every regular you have. Send the details worth naming, whether that is a refurbished floor, a signature plate or a guide people ask for, and they get used.

More than on any other platform we sell. A review describing a beach afternoon that lands in the middle of winter is the easiest kind to spot and to report, and it takes the rest of the order down with it. Orders here are shaped around your season, which sometimes means the honest advice is to wait a few weeks.

Never. We only require your public Capterra product URL. At no stage will we ask for internal dashboard access or sensitive credentials.

Capterra reviews pass through manual moderation, so it typically takes 3 to 7 business days for them to clear verification and appear on your public page.

Certainly. Simply share the pain points users encountered with legacy competitors, and we'll position your software as the more sensible alternative.

Three to seven working days for most reviews, and that is Capterra reading each one rather than a queue on our side. It makes this the slowest service we sell and there is no version of it that is fast. If you need a listing populated before a specific launch, start several weeks earlier than feels necessary.

It is rewritten and resubmitted at no extra charge, and rejections do happen. Capterra checks that the reviewer looks like a real practitioner in the category, which means the persona, the job title and the detail all have to hold up. That is also why the brief takes a few minutes rather than one line.

No. The public product URL is the only thing required, and there is no point in the process where a login helps. Any provider asking for vendor portal access is asking for the ability to change your listing, which is a much larger permission than the job needs.

Far fewer than people assume. In most B2B categories ten well written reviews put you comfortably on the first screen, and fifty would look absurd next to competitors who have twelve. This is the one service on the site where the right order is usually the smallest one, and the packs are priced per review for that reason.
