Businesses need a way to intercept and resolve negative feedback before it becomes a public review, especially for issues outside their control.

Existing review platforms only allow public reviews after the fact, with no structured private feedback channel to resolve issues proactively.

A private feedback system that intercepts customers before they can post a public review, with resolution workflow.

App Concept

ReviewShield

ReviewShield is a software that intercepts negative reviews by offering customers a private feedback link before they can post publicly. It alerts the business owner, allows staff to resolve the issue, and only then prompts the customer to leave a public review. This reduces unfair public criticism and improves overall ratings.

Key Features

Private feedback link sent after service completion
Real-time alerts to owner/staff when negative feedback is submitted
In-app resolution workflow with customer communication
Automatic conversion to public review request once issue is resolved

Target Users: Business owners and managers in service industries (e.g., home services, auto repair, hospitality) who rely on online reviews for customer acquisition and want to manage their reputation proactively.

Revenue Model: $29/mo per location SaaS subscription, with a free tier for small businesses (up to 10 feedback requests/month) and premium tiers with analytics and integrations.
