Your reputation, protected honestly.
A harbor stays calm because a breakwater takes the storm first. That's this service. We watch what people are actually saying about you across Google, Facebook, and Yelp, help you answer like a real person instead of a corporate robot, and earn you genuine reviews from the customers who already love you. We never write a fake review, never bury an honest complaint, and never pretend a problem away. A real reputation, defended the real way.
You can't answer what you never saw. Most owners find out about a bad review from a customer, weeks late, when the damage is already done. We fix that first: one honest picture of what's being said about you, and a heads-up the day it changes.
One view of everywhere
Google, Facebook, Yelp, and the listings that matter for your trade, watched in one place so you're never the last to know.
An honest baseline
Where your rating actually stands today, how many reviews you have versus the shop down the street, and what the recent ones really say.
A heads-up that matters
When a new review lands, especially a rough one, you hear about it quickly, while there's still time to make it right.
- Your name, address, and phone checked so they match everywhere a customer looks
- The themes in your reviews pulled out plainly, what people praise and what keeps coming up
- A clear read on whether the problem is your reputation, or just that too few happy customers have said anything yet
Try it free first. The Wake gives you an honest reputation pulse in two minutes, scored only on what we can actually verify. It's the same read this service starts from.
A good reply to a bad review is often the most persuasive thing on your whole profile. Future customers read how you handle a complaint far more closely than the complaint itself. So we help you answer like the real person you are: acknowledge it, own what's yours, and take the rest offline.
Not admit, not argue
You can take a concern seriously without confessing to something that didn't happen. We help you strike that line: human, calm, and never defensive in public.
In your voice
Replies that sound like the owner, because they're yours. We draft, you approve, nothing is posted in your name until you've read it.
Solve it where it belongs
A public reply that opens the door, then the real fix by phone or in person. The next reader sees a business that shows up, not one that fights.
- A simple response playbook for the common situations, so a reply is minutes away, not a stomach-ache
- Straight guidance on the genuinely unfair or fake review: when to report it to the platform, and when a calm public answer serves you better than a fight
- The praise answered too, because a warm thank-you to a happy customer is a quiet invitation to the next one
We never argue for you in public and never post something untrue. If the criticism is fair, the honest move is to own it and fix it. That's the reply that actually wins the next customer.
The most durable way to fix a rating is to bury the old bad week under a steady stream of honest, recent, five-star reviews from the customers who already love you. Most of them would gladly leave one. They just never get asked. So we make asking easy, and we keep it clean.
Right moment, no friction
A simple way to invite a review right after a good job, by text or a card or a link, so a happy customer can leave one in under a minute.
Genuine reviews, full stop
We never write, buy, or invent a review, and we never filter customers to hide the unhappy ones. Real people, real experiences, that's the only kind that lasts, and the only kind that's allowed.
Recent beats perfect
A fresh five-star review from last week does more than a flawless average from two years ago. We keep the flow going so your profile always looks alive.
- A review-request system set up in your name, so happy customers are asked as a matter of routine, not by luck
- The root cause fixed first: if the same complaint keeps coming, we help you solve it, so the good reviews are actually deserved
- Fully within the rules of every platform, no gating, no incentives for reviews, nothing that risks your listing getting flagged
This is the honest engine. We don't outrun a real problem with fake praise. We help you earn a reputation you've actually got coming, and then make sure people can see it.
Every business has a bad week eventually: a rough patch, a misunderstanding that goes public, a stretch of construction that dents foot traffic. What separates the businesses that ride it out is simple: they had a plan before it happened. We build you that plan, and we keep watch so a bad week never quietly becomes a bad year.
Ongoing monitoring
We keep listening after the reset, so a new problem is caught in days, not discovered a season later in a slow month.
A plan on the shelf
When something does hit, you already know the first move: what to say, where, and who says it. Calm beats scramble every time.
The straight-talk clause
If the real fix is operational, not a message, we tell you. Sometimes the best reputation work is a change on the floor, not a reply online.
- A short, written response plan for the situations most likely to hit your trade
- The owner reachable and ready, so a public moment is handled by a person, not left to sit
- A monthly plain-English read on where your reputation stands and what moved it
Owned by you. The listings, the review system, and the plan all live in your name. Leave any time and you keep every bit of it, the same as everything else we build.
A reputation is earned, then shown.
Reputation work lands harder when the rest of your presence backs it up. Start free, then let us tie it together.
