Proving the automated job-completion trigger across Petal & Post's Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban branches. Just like Petal & Post triggers an automated review request the moment a delivery driver marks an order complete, Influx connects directly to your trade invoicing or field management software (ServiceM8, Jobber, Xero, QuickBooks). The moment your technician marks a job finished or sends an invoice, the review invitation fires automatically. Zero staff effort.

How it works

Three steps. Zero manual work.

We plug into the tools you already use, so your team never has to remember to ask for a review again.

Connect Your Existing System

Zero manual work. We integrate seamlessly with your invoicing, booking or POS software, so every paid invoice or served customer automatically becomes a review request.

The Dual-Path Request

Every customer gets the same invitation with the Google review link, plus a direct line to management if anything went wrong. Nobody is filtered out. You hear about problems fast, and your public Google rating grows on the strength of real service.

Review Velocity Protection

Google ranks on recency and momentum, not just totals. We monitor your local competitors monthly and keep your review velocity ahead of theirs, so you never lose the #1 ranking you worked for.

What we do on the call

Your Google Business Profile beside the top-ranked competitors in your area, live on screen. Nothing to prepare.
Exactly how the review invite plugs into your software: which customers get asked, when, and what they see.
Whether the guarantee applies to you, confirmed in writing after the call. No obligation either way.
“It’s me on the call, not a salesperson. If the numbers don’t work for your business, I’ll tell you in the first five minutes.” Stean Bester, founder, Influx Online

The calendar shows the next 14 days only and I take a maximum of 8 of these calls a day. If you don’t see a time that works, WhatsApp me.

Questions Before Booking? Here's What Every Owner Asks:

Will sending review requests annoy my customers?

No. Each customer receives one timely, transactional request after their service and, only if it goes unopened, one gentle reminder 48 hours later. Then we stop. Every message carries a one-tap opt-out, so nobody is chased.

What if an unhappy customer still wants to post on Google?

They always can — we never block or filter anyone, which keeps you compliant with Google's policy. In our experience customers with a problem usually prefer a fast fix to writing a review, so the direct line to management gets used, but the Google link is always there for them.

How much work is required from my staff?

Zero. We connect the automation to your invoicing or booking software in about 15 minutes during onboarding. From then on, every served customer triggers the request automatically. No staff training, no lists to upload, nothing to remember.

What happens if we don't gain 10 reviews in 45 days?

The 45-Day Work-for-Free guarantee activates: we keep managing your system at no retainer fee until you hit +10. It is delivered as service time rather than a cash refund, and the full mechanics are in our Terms of Service.
