I charge $800 to $1200 for a Google Reviews web app for restaurants and clients think it's cheap
I know you might think I'm overcharging. I thought so too at first. But then a restaurant client of mine had 300 plus unanswered Google reviews sitting publicly. Including a 2 star complaint about a hygiene issue from 8 months ago with zero response from the brand. That review alone was costing them tables every single week. The web app I built handles everything in one place. Customers get a private feedback link after their visit. Low ratings stay internal so the owner can fix it before it goes public. High ratings get routed straight to Google. Every new review gets an AI drafted reply that the owner approves in one click. Serious complaints get flagged immediately. That client went from a 3 percent reply rate to 100 percent in 30 days. Went from 3.8 to 4.1 stars in 6 weeks. One recovered corporate account alone covered the entire cost in the first month. I am not charging for build time. I am charging for what it fixes. The ROI makes $1200 look like a rounding error.
