My students are kids. Who gets the request?
Send requests to parents or guardians, using the contact details you already have. Ovation sends to whoever you add.
Can I send requests at the end of a term instead of after each payment?
Yes. Turn off automatic requests and send them by hand or from a list whenever you choose.
Which review sites does Ovation work with?
Google, where most people check reviews before choosing a local business. Ovation also checks that your details are correct on Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing and other directories.
Do I need to change my point-of-sale or payment system?
No. Ovation connects to the payment system you already use to know when someone has been a customer. If yours isn't supported yet, you can still send review requests by hand or from a customer list.
I have more than one location. Does that work?
Yes. Each location gets its own reviews, review link, request timing and rankings, and you manage them all from one login. The Team plan covers 2 to 10 locations.
How long does setup take?
Most schools and instructors are up and running in a few minutes: connect Google and Facebook, connect your payment system if you have one, and choose your reply settings.
