AI Review & Referral Automation

DataDesk AU sets up automated systems that ask happy customers for reviews at the right moment, nudge them to refer a friend, draft on-brand replies, and alert you to anything that needs attention — so your reviews, referrals and Google reputation all grow on autopilot. Delivered remotely across Australia.

Reviews are the first thing a new customer checks and one of the biggest factors in whether they pick you or a competitor — yet most happy customers never get around to leaving one, and the occasional bad review sits there unanswered. We set up systems that fix both ends: a well-timed, friendly request that makes it easy for happy customers to leave a review, and draft replies plus alerts so nothing negative goes unnoticed. And because a happy customer is also your best source of new ones, the same system can invite them to refer a friend — turning one good job into the next. It runs quietly in the background, in line with each platform's rules, and you stay in control of what goes out.

We build review and referral systems the careful way — well-timed, on-brand and inside each platform's rules — because the spammy version (fake reviews, review-gating) gets you penalised, not promoted. Honest reputation work is the only kind worth paying for.

Our Process

How we set up your reviews

01

Find the right moment

We work out when in your job a customer is happiest, because a request sent at the right moment is most of the game.

02

Write requests in your voice

We draft the review and referral messages to sound like you, and you approve every one before it sends.

03

Wire it up to run quietly

We connect it to how you already work so the right message goes out automatically, with reply drafts and alerts so nothing slips.

04

Hand over and watch

You get it running and handed over, with alerts so a negative review reaches you fast — and we can keep it tuned or step back.

Who This Is For

  • Anyone worried about the occasional negative review going unanswered

When this isn't the fix

We won't gate reviews, filter out unhappy customers, or buy fake ones — that breaks Google's rules and Australian consumer law, and it eventually backfires. If the real issue is the underlying service, no review system papers over it, and we'll say so honestly.
