For pubs and bars

Walkers check Tripadvisor before setting off, and locals check Google before quiz night. LocalQuiver makes sure both find a pub worth the trip, with more five-star reviews, a proper reply on Google, your hours right on every listing and your best reviews shared on social, while you run the bar.

Best Sunday roast for miles, and the fire was roaring.

Sound familiar?

01

Great nights, quiet reviews

The quiz is packed and the band goes down a storm, but happy guests go home and say nothing online. Meanwhile one grumble about a slow Sunday lunch sits near the top of your Google reviews for months.

02

Visitors decide on their phones

Walkers, tourists and anyone new to the area pick a pub from the map and a quick scroll through Tripadvisor. If your rating looks thin or your hours are wrong, they head to the place down the road.

03

No time behind the bar for marketing

Between deliveries, rotas, the cellar and a heaving Saturday, posting on Facebook and answering reviews slips to the bottom of the list. Then a month goes by and nothing has gone out at all.

The film

Following a fictional Newark pub, the film shows how LocalQuiver helps cafés, restaurants, pubs and bars collect more Google reviews with our tap cards and NFC stickers, reply to Google reviews, share reviews as social posts, publish helpful articles, run wallet loyalty cards and check a monthly report. With chapters, so you can jump to the bits you care about.

0:04LocalQuiver, for hospitality.

0:07Here's how we help cafés, restaurants, pubs and bars fill more tables.

0:13Your guests love you. They tell your team, they tell their friends. But hardly any of them ever leave a review.

0:21And right now, someone nearby is searching for somewhere to eat. They'll choose from the three places Google shows at the top. The map pack.

0:30Google picks those three by how relevant you are, how close you are, and how well known and well reviewed you are. You can't move your building. But your reviews? They're the one thing you can really control.

0:44So we make leaving a review effortless.

0:48NFC stickers on every table. Guests simply tap their phone, and they're straight onto your review page. No app, no searching, no fuss.

0:58And tap cards that arrive with the bill, at the very moment your guests are happiest.

1:05Every tap opens your own fully branded review page, with your name, your colours and your photos. It feels like part of the visit, not a chore.

1:15From there, guests head to Google, to help you climb the map, or to Tripadvisor, where visitors go looking for somewhere special.

1:23Then, our Review Agent replies to your Google reviews. Not with a generic thanks for your review, but a proper reply, on brand, in your tone of voice.

1:34And where it fits naturally, it works in the things you want to be found for, like Sunday roast in Newark, giving Google even more reasons to show you.

1:44Your best reviews become beautiful posts, in your brand, ready to share on Instagram, Facebook and Google. Your happiest guests, doing your marketing for you.

1:56Our Search Agent writes helpful articles for your website, so you show up for even more searches.

2:05Or, if you'd rather, we'll build you a beautiful new website, with your menu built right in.

2:12Turn first visits into regulars, with a digital loyalty card in Apple or Google Wallet. Stamps, rewards, and a gentle nudge when they're nearby.

2:22And every month, a clear report shows you exactly how it's all going. New reviews, your rating, where you rank, and what's working.

2:32And coming soon, the staff leaderboard.

2:36Add your team, with their names and nicknames, and give everyone their own tap card.

2:42You'll see who drives the most taps, the most reviews, and whose name pops up in them, with the conversion rate at every step.

2:50A little friendly competition, that fills your tables.

2:58More reviews. Higher on the map. Fuller tables.

3:05LocalQuiver. Your marketing, sorted.

A week with LocalQuiver

  1. Sunday, after lunch

    Roast diners asked while it’s fresh

    The bill arrives with one of our tap cards, and there’s a QR code by the bar. Guests who loved the crackling are on your review page in a tap, choosing Google or Tripadvisor, with no app and no searching for your name.

  2. Monday, 9am

    The weekend’s Google reviews, already answered

    The Review Agent has replied to the weekend’s four and five-star Google reviews in your tone, mentioning the band or the roast where it reads naturally. Anything lower is waiting for you, with a draft ready to edit.

  3. Early December

    Christmas opening hours, right on Google

  4. Every few days

    A fresh five-star review on Instagram

    The Social Agent picks a new five-star review, sets it on a card in your colours and shares it to Facebook, Instagram and Google, with a story too. If no fresh five-star review has come in, nothing goes out.

  5. Saturday, at the bar

    A regular’s card gets its stamp

    A regular orders lunch, holds up the loyalty card in their Apple or Google Wallet, and your staff scan it with the bar tablet. The stamp lands on their lock screen, and the reward you chose gets one step closer.

Questions

We set up and look after the marketing that’s hard to fit around a busy bar: asking guests for reviews, answering them on Google, keeping your listing right, sharing your best reviews on social, writing articles for your website and, if you want one, building the website too.

Google, Tripadvisor and Facebook all arrive in one inbox, plus Trustpilot if you use it. Google is checked every hour and the others once a day. Google reviews can be answered for you automatically, and the rest get a draft you paste in yourself.

Yes. Every guest sees the same public review buttons. They can also choose to tell you something privately, which lands in your inbox and is never published, but that’s an extra option beside Google and Tripadvisor, never a filter in front of them.

Very little day to day. We set it all up, from your review page and tap cards to the agents and your website. A few things wait for your say-so by default, like approving the social designs once and, if you prefer, each article.

Honestly, nobody can promise a number or a date. Fresh reviews, accurate hours and regular articles give Google more reasons to show your pub, and that builds over months, not days. Your monthly report, waiting in your dashboard, shows exactly what moved.

Not at all. Cocktail bars, wine bars, taprooms and village locals work with the same tools. What changes is the detail: the reply tone, the article topics and the reviews that get shared are all shaped around what your guests come in for.
