AI Review Automation

Every 5-star review is a free retargeting asset. Every 1-star review is a blueprint.

Editor's Note on Review Automation

Humans are distrusting by nature. Until we trust you - then it flips. This mechanism helped our ancestors to survive, now it helps us to not get our bank accounts drained. Over the years I found most marketing, especially with a poor brand presence is generally met with disdain (Exhibit A: a marketer who loves AdBlock).

The fastest way to build trust is through building that equity, brick by brick. The next quickest is from others shouting your praise from the rooftop.

Automating your review flow is the scaffolding of that rooftop they will stand on. Precisely, it’s a two step effort. In the last chapter you weaponised any reviews you may have gathered incidentally over the course of running your business. This chapter operationalises it, to enable a steady flow moving forward.

This is a simple but extremely effective play which I’ve used to shift a weak 2.5/5 star rating to a 4.6/5 star rating for a $50M+ global leader. The result?

Aggressively increased brand trust for new customers
A clever way to redirect displeased customers
Spend less time creating ads - they’d rather hear others anyway

This exact strategy was being billed out by ‘review agencies’ we hired for $1,500/month. Granted - they did work hard to also remove reviews, but there’s plenty you can do for free to start.

Try it out, it’s a simple engine to automate and deploy. Just be sure to redirect your reviews to wherever your audience looks to find them - whether it be Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yelp etc.

Here’s the guide—distilled from real-world strategy, structured by LiftKit, and ready to deploy.

🔹 Step 1: Time It Right

Send your review request at the peak moment in the experience—not just post-purchase.

Examples:

Skincare product → 2 weeks after delivery
Course or info product → After 60–70% completion
SaaS onboarding → 14 days post-signup
Impulse eComm item → 3 days after arrival
Custom product → 2 weeks after use

📌 Your "peak moment" = when satisfaction, excitement, or value is most visible. That’s when they’re most likely to share the truth—and if you’ve done your job, it’ll be glowing.

🔸 Step 2: 5-Star Review Email Flow (Smart Filtered)

Subject line ideas:

“Got 10 seconds?”
“Quick rating—how did we do?”
“Mind giving us a 1–5 star review?”

CTA setup:

Display 1–5 star graphics as clickable links
Use automation logic:

⭐️ If 4–5 stars → redirect to public reviews (Google, Trustpilot, etc.)
⭐️ If 1–3 stars → route to internal feedback form

This gives you public praise and private critique—which means more control, less risk.

🔸 Step 3: Feedback Catch + Winback Strategy

If someone gives a 1–3 star rating:

Ask:

What didn’t meet your expectations?
How can we do better?
Was anything broken, missing, or unclear?

Tag it in your CRM for future segmentation or product feedback loops.

If you fix the issue:

Send a follow-up:

Subject: We heard you. Here’s what we changed.
Body: “Thanks to your feedback, we’ve [insert fix]. If you decide to try us again, here’s [discount/gift].”

✅ You just turned a critic into a comeback story—and built trust that can’t be faked.

🔸 Step 4: Use Reviews to Amplify Trust

Strategic placement is everything.
Here’s where reviews create maximum lift:

Homepage → “4.8 stars from 1,320 customers” (above the fold)
Product page → Specific review blocks
Landing page → One strong quote to break friction
Checkout page → Final reassurance
Email footers → Rotate fresh highlights
Retargeting ads → Use UGC-style lines like:
“I didn’t believe it until it arrived…”

Mid-funnel ads are where review-based copy shines. They reduce anxiety and add peer validation—fast. Read all about it in the previous chapter.
