What small Talk is
small Talk helps local service businesses request Google reviews by guiding customers through prompts and drafting review text from their answers. Customers can edit and approve the draft, then copy it into Google and post it themselves; small Talk does not publish reviews automatically. Businesses send personalized links by email, QR code, shared link, or optional SMS. Customers can choose a public review or private feedback, with neither route filtered or hidden according to the site. Setup connects a Google Business Profile, confirms services, and creates a guided link. Trade-specific setups cover businesses such as plumbers, HVAC companies, roofers, landscapers, and electricians. No CRM is required: businesses can enter contact details or upload a customer list. The paid small Talk plan costs $79 a month, month to month, and includes 500 requests. An add-on provides 100 more requests for $25 a month. The first 10 requests are free with no expiry, credit card, or setup fee. Monitoring alerts and AI response assistance are listed, and the service offers a 7-day trial.
