Get More Google Reviews

Grow your pharmacy’s online reputation with automatic review requests.

‍

Pharmacy Reviews makes it easy to ask patients for a Google review after a prescription is sold — without adding another manual step for your team.

‍

Once enabled, eligible patients can automatically receive a text message inviting them to leave a review on your pharmacy’s Google Business Profile.

‍

You stay in control: Pharmacy Reviews is off by default, and you can turn it on or off whenever you want.

Why Use Pharmacy Reviews?

‍

More Google reviews can strengthen your pharmacy’s online presence and make it easier for prospective patients to see recent customer feedback.

‍

Pharmacy Reviews helps you:

  • Ask for reviews automatically after a fill is sold
  • Grow your Google review volume without asking staff to follow up manually
  • Direct patients straight to your pharmacy’s Google Business Profile
  • Avoid over-messaging by limiting requests to once per patient per year
  • Turn the feature on or off whenever you want

‍

How It Works

‍

After Pharmacy Reviews is turned on:

‍

  1. An eligible patient completes a prescription purchase.
  2. NimbleRx sends the patient a dedicated pharmacy review-request text message after the fill is sold.
  3. The patient can then open the link in the message and go to NimbleRx through the app or browser. 
  4. From there, they will see the option to review your pharmacy’s Google Business Profile.

‍

The review request is sent as its own message, not added onto another patient notification.

‍

How Often Will Patients Receive a Review Request?

‍

A patient can receive a review request from your pharmacy once per year.

‍

Even if the same patient fills multiple prescriptions during that time, NimbleRx will not keep sending additional review requests from your pharmacy.

‍

What Is a Google Place ID?

A Google Place ID is the unique identifier connected to your pharmacy’s Google Business Profile.

‍

NimbleRx uses this ID to make sure patients are sent to the correct Google review page.

Before turning Reviews on, use the preview link in the Pharmacy Dashboard to confirm that the Place ID points to the right business.
