ReviewBoost is a Google review automation platform that helps local businesses get more reviews automatically. š„ THE PROBLEM: 93% of customers check Google reviews before choosing a local business. Most businesses have 10-20 reviews. Top businesses have 100-200 reviews. The difference is not service quality. It is simply asking customers consistently. Most business owners are too busy to ask every single customer manually. So they don't. And reviews don't come.

Hey Product Hunt! š
I am Bill, the solo developer behind ReviewBoost.
STORY BEHIND THIS:
I was helping a friend who owns a restaurant.
Great food. Amazing service.
Only 8 Google reviews after 2 years.
His competitor across the street?
147 reviews.
Guess who gets more customers?
I tried to help him get more reviews.
We put up signs. Asked customers verbally.
Even printed cards with QR codes.
Nothing worked consistently.
Customers always said "sure I will leave a review"
and then forgot completely.
So I built ReviewBoost.
HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS:
After a customer leaves, my friend types
their email into ReviewBoost.
Takes 10 seconds.
The customer gets a friendly email an hour later.
If they don't respond, a gentle reminder goes out 3 days later.
That's it.
6 weeks later: 8 reviews ā 67 reviews.
His exact words:
"New customers keep saying they found us on Google"
WHAT I BUILT SOLO:
š Web app: Next.js 14 with App Router
š± Mobile: React Native + Expo
āļø API: Node.js + Express
šļø Database: MongoDB Atlas
š³ Payments: Paystack + Stripe
š§ Emails: Resend API
š Hosting: Vercel + Railway
The interesting technical challenge was
building one API that serves both the web app
(using NextAuth sessions) and the mobile app
(using JWT Bearer tokens) seamlessly.
