A review rewarded, not begged for

The "leave us a review" sign asks a favour; it hardly converts any more. Lecy turns the review request into an exchange of value, at the one moment when the customer is inclined to say thank you.

There are two ways to ask a customer for a review. The first: hope. A sign on the counter, a "Give us your feedback" QR code, sometimes a plea from the waiter. It means asking a favour (time and effort) while offering nothing in return. Conversion rates for this method have collapsed: everyone does it, nobody responds any more.

The second way: the exchange

Lecy builds the review into the loyalty loop, at the precise moment it works best:

  • 1. The customer taps the tag and earns their point. They have just received something: the psychological disposition is ideal.
  • 2. We ask how it went, in one gesture, on the page already in front of them. No cold redirect, no email three days later.
  • 3. If it is positive, we encourage them to publish it on Google, and that gesture is rewarded with a bonus point. The review is no longer a favour, it is an exchange.
  • 4. If it is negative, the feedback goes privately to the shopkeeper's back office. It is not published. The customer feels heard, the shop improves, the rating is protected.
The nuance that matters: Lecy does not pay for a positive review, it rewards the gesture of sharing an experience. The sorting happens upstream, by catching the negative privately before it becomes public. That is good for the rating, and above all good for the shop, which finally receives the useful criticism directly.

What it produces

A steady flow of recent reviews, mostly positive, written by real customers whose visit is proven by the NFC tap. Exactly the signal Google's local algorithm values: volume, rating, recency, real customers.

And always the same product rule: the team never intervenes. Nobody begs, nobody chases, nobody manages anything. The review machine runs on its own, at every visit to the till.
