If you tick the Smart Auto-Direct box, your customers will see the order of review sites offered reshuffled based on their personal preference. 3

Once a happy customer has submitted their star rating they will be presented with a thank you screen and the links to your review sites. You can either choose Smart Auto-Direct, or reshuffle how the links appear on the Funnel via the Links tab. To leave a review, your customer needs to have an account with the review site they select.

Every customer will see the same message initially on your Funnel page when they review your business through Cube Reviews. Here’s how to tailor your message:

How To Customise Funnel Content

Cube Reviews allows you to determine if your customer is happy or unhappy, helping you to manage your reviews and customise your response to each review. 2

Customise your response to a happy or unhappy reviewer and determine a happy or unhappy customer by selecting the star rating that fits with your expectations. Please note: the default for an unhappy customer is a star rating of three stars or less.
