- If the rating is above the Redirect Threshold, they are seamlessly redirected to a third-party review site (e.g., Google Maps) to leave a public review.
- Businesses receive notifications of private feedback, allowing them to address concerns before they escalate into negative public reviews.
- Analytics Dashboard: Businesses can track review performance and customer feedback.
4. Subscription, Billing & Payments
- Each business location is billed at 300 AED per month.
- The first location is charged upfront, and additional locations are prorated and added to the next billing cycle.
- Billing is organization-based, not user-based.
