Google TOS: "it is important to note that offering incentives for customers to leave reviews, such as a discount or gift, is strictly against Google policy and can result in the business losing all of their reviews" This is illegal LOL, as others said, don't trust your business with kids.
Yes, this could get their GMB shutdown for good. Google cracks down hard on this. AI will start flagging these even more I think in the future, not worth it. Can do irreparable damage to a local business.
This is sick. This is the actual correct way of using GHL. Instead of trying to sell businesses an extremely overcomplicated and ultra-complex full-stack version of GHL packed with 45 different services for clients... which just ends up overwhelming clients and causing high churn... instead of that, you just pick ONE of GHL's functions and then sell that ONE function. Built it well like Clay did, with a solid system that actually works, and you'll have raving fans and 0 churn. Brilliant model and drastically simpler to set up than SMMA.
Most people dont have the patience to run something like this and want to swing for home runs. Low ticket, and needs time to build up client base. But its much less work than an SMMA.
man I love these simple 1-problem solver SaaS. Gets close to real "recurring revenue". This is something where you have a higher change of landing an exit as well since the customers are so sticky. in 2021, SaaS's were selling for up to 10x ARR.
I Hit $12,590 k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last week .i started with 3k in last week 2024..... now i just hit $12,590..

Hi Thomas. I've been doing database reactivation with GHL and when sending hundreds of SMS the price is pretty high in my case. For 2.5k SMS I paid almost 500$. I am really curious, how much does Clay pay for the database reactivation, and if there is a cheaper way to do that.
That's not expensive at all. If you can't pay for it upfront, change the offer slightly and have the client pay for the SMS costs untill you stack some cash.
Does it Violate the Guidelines? • If the offer is made conditional on leaving a positive review or if the incentive is not disclosed in the review, it would violate FTC guidelines. • If the customer is free to leave any kind of review (positive, neutral, or negative) and the incentive is disclosed, it is okay 👍 🆗 .

what if you offer this service to a contractor, and he hasn't got a CRM with all of his customers in it. he literally just has random numbers in his phones and uses his phone text as his crm
You probably won't offer this to the type of contractor you described. Every business needs to have CRM and automation otherwise that contractor would have personalise every message by himself which is extremely inefficient.
@ these guys don’t want to use another software again. They have plenty of it And probably they already have a CRM Asking them to change it just for the purpose of the reviews is difficult
@@YassWayne I think you can use Zapier to connect the customers current CRM with GHL and then every new contact automatically gets a review request. I don't know how tho but I think thats why he uses Zapier

I've seen some comments saying it too, isn't this against Google's TOS ? "buying reviews" ? Unless it's a 100% legit review (with the risk of being a bad one), isn't this illegal ?
@@csmith411 in Clay’s case, he extends an offer on behalf of the business (1 review = 1 meal donated to charity). The offer here really could really be anything though
What about if the business doesn’t have a list of its customer or they refuse to provide it to you. And how are you able to access the list and convince them to provide it to you?
@@nasseraaid3302 If they don't have a list of their customers then this service simply isn't for them. If they refuse, then you find someone who doesn't refuse. Getting reviews helps get the business credibility and trust, which leads to new customers. I think more reviews also pushes you higher into the Google algorithm so you're more likely to be seen. That's enough for businesses to say yes to the service described in the video.
so it uses the early customer who purchased before but did not leave a google review. Then how will he(clau) get more reviews after that? so its not sending out one time sms to previous buyers? that wont cut it. any details would be appreciated
Well, fake reviews can backfire pretty quickly 😂 better to have 10-20 real reviews( what can take time,like months depends on your service, and how long you are in business)than 50-2500 fake ones… eventually established businesses getting back clients due incompetent businesses…

Kind of a grey area since it’s not the clients business that’s offering the discount it’s a separate entity/agency
@@thomasgonnet It is actually illegal to offer a discount for a review.

Why can't the owner or salesman offer 15 to 30% to customers directly when customers buying online or from stores if they submit a review ?
That's bribing, which when found out by Google, is punished. THat's what they say.

what if you offer this service to a contractor, and he hasn't got a CRM with all of his customers in it. he literally just has random numbers in his phones and uses his phone text as his crm
The app already has a built-in CRM ready to use, and other functions
You probably won't offer this to the type of contractor you described. Every business needs to have CRM and automation otherwise that contractor would have personalise every message by himself which is extremely inefficient.
What types of businesses have a large client list and are therefore ideal for that business? Restaurants, for example, don't have a client list.
The main issue with this is the customers need to use the GHL CRM in order of the review automation to work
How’s that an issue?
@ these guys don’t want to use another software again. They have plenty of it
And probably they already have a CRM
Asking them to change it just for the purpose of the reviews is difficult
You can ask them to download their clients info onto an excel file and then just reupload it to GHL, no? That’s possible with Zapier
@ so it will be useful only for database réactivation
Not for day to day reputation management
@@YassWayne I think you can use Zapier to connect the customers current CRM with GHL and then every new contact automatically gets a review request. I don't know how tho but I think thats why he uses Zapier
I would love to purchase this automation if he's willing to sell it.
Will potential businesses agree to share their existing customers, which will then be approached for this campaign?

You're not buying reviews. You're asking someone who was a previous customer if they could leave a review of any kind. They don't have to say yes.

they got more customers from good reviews, especially if it's restaurant.

how did he acquire the initial batch of customers, before all the referrals?
Probably cold outreach
Clay is a fucking genius.
Does he follow up or just send one text?
I'm assuming the ones the don't respond are sent a multiple follow up messages until they say they're no longer interested.

simply ingenious
What happens if a business doesn't get a lot of new customers each month? Then the reviews wouldn't grow much.
Well, that's pretty obvious tho?
I would say it is advantageous to have more reviews than their competitors,
