The Opportunity
Reviews are a $10B+ industry. But most of that value is locked up in platforms—Google, Yelp, Trustpilot, G2.
The problem with platform reviews: - You don't own them - Algorithms control visibility - Fake reviews pollute the signal - Getting them requires friction
Talk to Review flips the model:
You own the reviews. They live on your site, in your embed, exported to your CRM.
Voice is harder to fake. You can hear authenticity. Emotion. Enthusiasm. A typed review can be copy-pasted from ChatGPT. A voice review is distinctly human.
The widget is the distribution. Instead of hoping customers find you on Google, the reviews are where the customers already are—on your website.
Who's this for? - Shopify stores (post-purchase review flow) - Local services (QR code in-store) - Coaches and consultants (client testimonials) - SaaS (trial feedback) - Anyone who lives or dies by word of mouth
The wedge: start with people who are already asking for reviews and failing. Make their conversion rate 5x. Expand from there.
