The default rates are deliberately cautious ballpark figures. Replace them with your own numbers as soon as you have them.
Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is stored.
Between the customer served and the review published there are three successive losses: the message not opened, the link not clicked, the form abandoned. Each looks bearable; their product is not. This simulator chains the three stages, adds the effect of reminders at three and five days, and projects the result over twelve months to give a figure you can defend.
How to use it
How it works
Enter your volume
The number of customers you can contact each month, meaning those whose number or email address you hold.
Adjust the rates
Click rate on the link and submission rate once the form is open. The defaults are deliberately cautious.
Read the projection
The result details the funnel month by month, with and without reminders, and adds up the total over a year.
Worth knowing
Four things to keep in mind
Reminders account for half the volume
The first message catches the customers who are free at the right moment. The two reminders pick up the ones who were busy, and often produce as many reviews as the initial send.
The channel decides the whole first stage
An SMS is opened almost every time, an email far less. At equal submission rates, the channel determines most of the final result.
Do not aim for a hundred per cent
A healthy campaign converts a fraction of the customers contacted. An unusually high rate usually signals a contact list that is too small, or screening of who gets asked, which Google forbids.
Count cumulatively, not in peaks
What matters is consistency over twelve months, not the launch month. A listing gaining eight reviews every month comfortably overtakes one that gained forty in a week then nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Writing a review means being signed in to a Google account, composing and confirming. Every step loses people, including genuinely satisfied customers.
No, it projects a volume, not a rating. The Google rating calculator is the companion tool for reasoning about the average.
Yes, and it is an obligation: picking out the ones you assume are happy is a practice Google forbids, and it can cost you the reviews you collected.
