What Review Dr. actually does

Event businesses lose bookings in three places. We fix all three.

Not with vague "marketing strategy" — with specific, quietly-running systems that catch what you'd otherwise miss.

01 — Missed enquiries

An enquiry arrives Friday evening. You see it Monday morning.

Equipment hire never stops—and neither do your customers' decisions. If they message three companies and you're the slowest to respond, they've booked elsewhere before you pick up the phone. Every unanswered enquiry is a booking handed to a competitor.

What we build

Instant response booking systems that text back within seconds, qualify the enquiry and keep the conversation warm — so no lead goes cold while you're busy on a job.

02 — Rented customers

Lead platforms own the relationship—not you.

Lead marketplaces charge you for shared enquiries from customers they own. When that customer books again next year, they go back to that platform — not to your website, not to your inbox. You're paying month after month to borrow clients that should be yours permanently.

What we build

A high-converting website, quote funnel and booking system that attracts your own traffic through local SEO — so you own your enquiries, your customer list, and your pipeline.

03 — Hidden reputation

You've done hundreds of great events. Your Google profile shows twelve reviews.

Happy customers mean to leave a review. Life gets in the way and they don't. Meanwhile a competitor with half your experience has 90 reviews and a higher rating — and that's who shows up first when someone searches. Reputation is lost silently, booking by booking.

What we build

Automated review request sequences timed perfectly for your event type, so your reputation grows on autopilot and your Google profile reflects your quality of work.

Why Review Dr.

We only work with event & hire businesses. That changes everything.

We've built everything around one niche, the specific enquiry patterns, seasonal pressures, review dynamics and booking behaviours of hire companies.

When we set up your booking system, we already know Saturday evenings are your busiest enquiry window. When we write your Google description, we know what couples and event planners search for. When we automate your review requests, we know the timing that works after an event.

You're not teaching us your industry. We already know it.

Websites built to convert

Structured around how your customers actually decide, not how agencies like to design sites.

Booking & quote automation

Enquiries captured, responded to and followed up, even when you're on a job at the weekend.

Review management

Automated review requests that build your Google profile week by week, so your reputation matches your work.

Local SEO

Getting you found by customers searching directly, before they ever reach a lead marketplace.

Ready when you are

Let's look at your setup together — for free.

A free, no-obligation video review of your business. We'll show you where you're losing enquiries, what's working well, and the quickest improvements you can make, for free and straight to your inbox within 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Discover how Review Dr. helps you get more enquiries, build trust, and turn more visitors into paying customers.

WHAT DOES REVIEW DR. ACTUALLY DO?

Review Dr. helps event and hire businesses generate more direct enquiries, more Google reviews, and more bookings without relying on expensive lead platforms.

We build high-converting websites, improve your booking journey, automate Google review requests, and optimise your local SEO so customers find your business when they're ready to book. The goal is simple: turn more visitors into paying customers while helping you own your enquiries instead of renting them from third-party platforms.

WHO DOES REVIEW DR. WORK WITH?

We work exclusively with event and hire businesses.

That includes venues, marquees, vehicle hire, transport providers, equipment hire, catering, mobile bars, entertainment, leisure experiences, and specialist event suppliers.

Because this is all we do, we already understand your industry, your busiest booking periods, the questions customers ask before enquiring, and what makes someone choose one supplier over another. You won't spend weeks explaining your business—we're already speaking your language.

HOW IS REVIEW DR. DIFFERENT FROM A TYPICAL MARKETING AGENCY?

Most marketing agencies work across dozens of industries.

We focus on one.

That means we already understand how people search for event suppliers, when enquiries peak, how quickly leads need responding to, and why your Google reviews often influence bookings more than your social media followers.

Instead of spending months learning your business, we spend that time improving it.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE FREE AUDIT

You'll receive a personalised video audit of your website and Google Business Profile. If you do not have a website, we will create a mock up of one for you, completely free.

We'll walk through your business as if we were a potential customer, highlighting where bookings could be slipping away, what's stopping people from enquiring, and the quickest improvements that could increase conversions.

There's no generic checklist, no automated report, and no obligation afterwards.

Even if you never become a client, you'll leave with practical advice you can implement yourself.

HOW DOES REVIEW DR. COLLECT MORE REVIEWS FOR MY BUSINESS?

Once a customer's event or hire has finished, Review Dr. automatically sends a friendly review request, and follow ups exactly at the right time.

For you that means: No chasing. No forgotten follow-ups. No spreadsheets.

Over time, this helps your business collect more genuine Google reviews, strengthen your local reputation, and improve your visibility in Google search results—all while saving you hours of manual admin.

I DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE YET. CAN YOU HELP STILL?

Absolutely.

In fact, we'll create a free homepage mock-up during your audit so you can see exactly what your business could look like online before committing to anything.

It's a chance to visualise how your website could attract more enquiries, showcase your services, and build trust with potential customers.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE REVIEW DR.?

Most agencies focus on one part of your business. We focus on the whole journey.

We work with one industry, helping event businesses grow from start to finish.

Whether it's getting found on Google, improving your website, responding to enquiries instantly, collecting more reviews or increasing direct bookings, we improve every part of your customer journey.
