The problem
Customers are searching for you. Are they finding you?
Most local businesses lose the same three ways — and they can't see it happening.
You forget to ask — so you lose the click
Even thrilled customers rarely leave a review on their own. The shop with more recent reviews wins the call, and you're not even in the conversation.
You can't see where you rank on Maps
You might be #1 at your front door and invisible three blocks away. Without a geo-grid you have no idea where nearby searchers never see you.
Legacy tools are expensive and locked-in
BirdEye and Podium start around $300+/mo, push annual contracts and a sales call — and some quietly gate reviews, which puts your profile at risk.

What you can do inside
Everything to win on Google — in one place
No agency, no spreadsheet juggling. Here's what's actually running for you.
Ask for reviews by text — from your own number
After each job, the app writes a personalized, compliant request and opens it in your own Messages or email. You send it from your number in one tap — we never text your customers for you. Every customer gets the same link, no gating.
- Merge fields for first name, business name and your review link
- One tap to open iMessage, SMS or Gmail — you're the sender
- Opt-in tracked, quiet-hours 9am–9pm suggested, same link for everyone
- Banned-word check rejects "discount", "free", "prize"
opt-in · quiet hours · same link for everyone · you send it

- Weekly scans, trend over 7 / 30 / 90 days

FAQ
Questions, answered
How is this different from BirdEye or Podium? +
Same job — more reviews, better visibility — without the enterprise price tag, the annual contract, or the sales call. GBP Autopilot is self-serve from $79/mo, month-to-month, and you can set it up yourself in minutes. We call it the anti-BirdEye.
Do you hide negative reviews or screen customers first? +
Never. Every customer gets the exact same Google review link, no matter how the job went — that's the law and Google's policy. There's no "how was your visit?" filter and no review gating. A private-feedback option sits alongside the public link, never instead of it.
Who actually sends the review requests — you or me? +
You do, from your own phone. GBP Autopilot never messages your customers. It writes a compliant, personalized request and opens it in your own Messages or email, so you send it from your own number in a tap. Requests go only to customers who opted in, everyone gets the same Google link with no gating or incentives (templates mentioning discounts, freebies or prizes are rejected), and because it sends from your device, STOP/HELP and Do-Not-Disturb live on your phone — we suggest sticking to 9am–9pm local time.
Do I need Google's API or any approval to start? +
No. The core product — review requests, Google Maps rank tracking, competitor intel and the profile audit — works without GBP API access. You connect your business and you're running.
What does the Maps rank tracker actually show? +
A geo-grid of your Google Maps position across your service area, block by block. You see exactly where you're in the top 3, where you slip, and where you're invisible to nearby searchers — so you know where to focus.
Which businesses is this for? +
Local service businesses that live and die by Google: plumbing & HVAC, dental, chiropractic, auto repair, restaurants, law firms, and medspas. If "near me" searches send you customers, it's built for you.
Are there contracts? Can I cancel? +
No contracts and no annual lock-in. Every plan is month-to-month — cancel anytime, no sales call required.
How do I get started, and do I need a credit card? +
Just sign up — no credit card required. You get a 7-day free trial: connect your business and you're tracking your rank and sending review requests in minutes. Cancel anytime, no sales call.
