How Rviewo Reviews Work

What Are Rviewo Reviews?

Rviewo reviews are AI-scored customer feedback collected through a guided interview, with trust checks on every submission. Reviews from customers who were at the business count more, so businesses and customers get more than a star rating.

Rviewo Reviews vs. Google Reviews

Both matter, but they serve different purposes. Here's how they compare.

Google Reviews

  • ✕Unverified: anyone can leave a review
  • ✕Star rating only (1–5), no quality scoring
  • ✕No geolocation check at submission
  • ✕No AI interview or guided feedback
  • ✕No dimension breakdown (staff, value, wait)
  • ✕Fake reviews are common and hard to remove

Rviewo Reviews

  • Usually started from a QR code or link at the business
  • AI quality grade, A+ to F, on every review
  • Reviews from customers at the business count more
  • Guided AI interview draws out specific feedback
  • Dimension scores: staff, value, wait time, and more
  • Spam and repeat-review checks before a review counts

How a Rviewo Review Gets Created

From visit to published review, in four steps.

01

Customer visits the business

After a visit, the customer scans a QR code at the business or follows a link the business shares by SMS or email.

02

Quilly conducts a guided interview

Rviewo's AI, Quilly, asks 3–5 natural follow-up questions to draw out specific, actionable feedback, not just "it was great!"

03

Review is AI-scored in real time

Every submission is scored for sentiment and graded for depth and specificity. Submissions that are not genuine feedback are withheld, and suspicious ones are flagged before they count.

04

Review becomes publicly visible

Public reviews appear on the business's Rviewo page within minutes, with a score and sentiment.

6 Signals Behind Every Rviewo Review Score

Rviewo doesn't just count reviews. It analyzes the quality of each one using six independent signals.

AI Quality Grading

Every review gets a quality grade from A+ to F for depth, specificity, and helpfulness. Detailed reviews carry more weight in the business's R Score.

Location Check

When the reviewer's device shares its location, we check whether they were at the business. Reviews from customers whose device places them there count more in the R Score.

Engagement Analysis

How long the reviewer spent answering, how much they typed, and whether they answered follow-up questions, all factored in.

Dimension Ratings

Reviewers score specific dimensions like staff friendliness, wait time, and value, not just an overall star rating.

Pattern Detection

Rviewo flags spam, limits repeat public reviews of a business from the same email address, and checks reward activity for signs of farming.

Reviewer History

Reviewers build a trust score over time from their own history of detailed, consistent feedback. A signed-in reviewer with a strong track record counts a little more.

What we check

Every Rviewo review goes through the same checks.

Quilly grades every submission for quality and withholds ones that are not genuine feedback. Spam is flagged, hidden and left out of the score. When the reviewer's device shares its location, we check whether they were at the business, and reviews from customers who were there count more. Reviewers also build a trust score over time from their own history.

6 signals

we look at

AI quality grade, location (when the device shares it), engagement depth, dimension ratings, reviewer history, and spam and repeat-review checks.

A+ to F

quality grade on every submission

Every review is graded for depth, specificity, and helpfulness before it counts toward a business's R Score.

No

paid boosts to the R Score

A business cannot pay to raise its R Score. Reviews flagged by our checks are excluded from it.

Understanding Rviewo Review Quality Grades

Every Rviewo review gets a quality grade from A+ to F. The grade affects how much weight the review carries in the business's R Score.

A+

Outstanding

Rich, specific detail throughout. The kind of review a business can act on straight away.

A

Excellent

Detailed, specific, helpful. Names the dish, product, or service and describes what actually happened.

B+

Very good

Clear and specific, one detail short of an A.

B

Good

Clear feedback with reasonable detail. Describes the experience without much specificity.

C

Average

Minimal detail. Captures sentiment but doesn't add much for potential customers.

D

Weak

Very brief or vague. Still published but carries lower weight in the R Score.

F

Minimal

Almost no detail. Still published, but carries the least weight in the R Score. Spam and abuse are handled separately and never published.

FAQ

Rviewo Reviews: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how Rviewo reviews work, what the quality grades mean, and how to find or leave reviews.

What is a Rviewo review?
A Rviewo review is customer feedback collected and scored by Rviewo's AI platform. Unlike a Google review, every Rviewo review is AI-graded for quality, run through trust checks (including a location check when the reviewer's device shares it), and scored across multiple dimensions, giving businesses and potential customers a much richer picture than a star rating alone.
Are Rviewo reviews real?
Rviewo reviews come from customers who complete a guided conversation with Quilly, usually started from a QR code or link the business shares. Every submission goes through AI quality scoring and trust checks before it is published. Submissions that are not genuine feedback are withheld, and reviews flagged as spam or abuse never appear publicly. Short, low-detail reviews are still published but count for less.
How do I find Rviewo reviews for a specific business?
Search for the business at rviewo.com/find or go directly to rviewo.com/business/[business-slug]. Every business with Rviewo reviews has a public profile page listing its public reviews.
How is a Rviewo review different from a Google review?
Google reviews are unverified text with a 1–5 star rating. Rviewo reviews are collected through a guided AI interview, given a quality grade from A+ to F, checked against the reviewer's location when their device shares it, and scored across multiple dimensions (staff, value, wait time, etc.). The result is more actionable for businesses and more trustworthy for consumers.
What does the quality grade (A+ to F) on a Rviewo review mean?
The quality grade reflects how detailed, specific, and helpful the review is, from A+ down to F. An A-grade review mentions specific experiences, staff, or items. A D or F review is very brief. Reviews completed as part of a Rviewo mission use the same grades. The grade affects how much weight the review carries in the business's R Score, never whether the review counts as positive or negative.
What is TrustPrint?
TrustPrint is the verification level on each review. Verified means it was left from a signed-in Rviewo account. Confirmed means the reviewer had no account but gave an email address. Unverified means neither. Flagged means our checks caught it as spam or abuse, so it is hidden and excluded from scoring. Verified and Confirmed reviews count more in the R Score than Unverified ones. Location is a separate check: reviews from customers whose device places them at the business count more as well.
What is the Experience score on each review?
It is a 1–100 score for how good the reviewer's visit was, read by Rviewo's AI from what they actually wrote. It is what each review contributes to the R Score.
What is "Review quality" on a business profile?
Review quality is the average of the 1–100 quality scores of the business's recent public reviews. It tells you how detailed and useful the feedback is, not how good the business is. Detail affects how much a review counts in the R Score, never whether it counts as good or bad.
What is the Rviewo Average?
The Rviewo Average is the plain average of the Experience scores on the business's most recent public Rviewo reviews. It is not weighted and does not include Google. The R Score is the number to use when judging a business overall: it weights each review and blends in the Google rating, which is why the two numbers can differ.
Does the R Score incorporate a business's Google reputation?
Yes, and how much depends on how many Rviewo reviews the business has. A business with no Rviewo reviews yet gets an R Score built entirely from its public Google rating and review count, which is why a business can have a score before anyone has reviewed it here. Each Rviewo review shifts the mix: at 20 Rviewo reviews the score is roughly half Rviewo and half Google. The Rviewo share stops growing at 70 percent, so Google keeps the other 30 percent permanently as a sanity check, and one bad week on Rviewo cannot sink a business that thousands of people rate well elsewhere. The business's Google rating is also shown alongside the R Score for reference.
Can a business fake its Rviewo reviews?
We make it hard, and we are honest that no review system is perfect. Every review comes through a guided conversation with Quilly, and submissions that are not genuine feedback, such as reward demands or attempts to manipulate the AI, are withheld. Spam is flagged, hidden, and excluded from the R Score. One account or email address can publish one review of a business every 30 days. Reviews from customers whose device places them at the business count more than reviews from anywhere else. A business cannot pay to raise its R Score.
Can a business remove or hide a Rviewo review?
Businesses can flag a review they believe is inauthentic or inappropriate. Rviewo's team investigates using quality scores, engagement data, and geolocation records. If the review is confirmed legitimate, it stays published. If fraudulent, it is removed.
Do I need an account to leave a Rviewo review?
You can leave a review as a guest, but creating a free Rviewo account marks your reviews as Verified, builds your reviewer trust score, and lets you earn rewards for high-quality reviews.
Are Rviewo reviews public?
Reviewers choose whether their feedback is public or private at submission. Public reviews appear on the business's Rviewo profile page and may appear in search results. Private reviews are shared only with the business and are never shown publicly, but they still count toward the business's R Score exactly like a public review.
How does Rviewo prevent fake reviews?
Several checks run on every review. Quilly's guided conversation withholds submissions that are not genuine feedback. Spam is flagged, never shown, and excluded from the R Score. One account or email address can publish one review of a business every 30 days. When the reviewer's device shares its location we check whether they were at the business, and reviews from customers who were there count more. Reward activity is also checked for signs of farming.
What is the R Score?
The R Score (0–100) is Rviewo's public reputation score for a business. It combines two things: the business's Rviewo reviews, and its public Google rating. On the Rviewo side, each review contributes its Experience score, how good the visit was. How much a review counts depends on how detailed it is and how much we can trust who left it: a signed-in account or a confirmed email, the reviewer's track record, and whether their device placed them at the business. Recent reviews count more, private reviews count the same as public ones, and flagged reviews are excluded. While a business has only a few Rviewo reviews their part of the score is held back, so one or two reviews cannot swing it. The Google side is weighted by how much evidence stands behind it, so a perfect rating from a handful of reviews does not outrank a strong record built over thousands. Rviewo reviews take over more of the score as they arrive. The result is displayed as a ring with a tier label, for example, "Must-Visit" or "Crowd Pleaser" for a restaurant. A business with fewer than 5 Rviewo reviews is marked provisional, and one with fewer than 5 reviews in total, counting Google, shows "Too few reviews to rate" instead of a tier.

How the R Score is calculated, in full

Why does the R Score use Google ratings at all?
Because the alternative is worse for everyone. If the score used only Rviewo reviews, every business would sit at zero until it collected its first few here, and a business with one grumpy review would look worse than a business nobody had reviewed at all. Starting from the public Google record means a score is useful on day one, and Rviewo reviews then take it over as they arrive, because they are graded for quality and run through trust checks in a way an anonymous star rating is not. Google never fully leaves: it always keeps at least 30 percent of the score, which is what stops a handful of unusual reviews here from misrepresenting a business.
How do I leave a Rviewo review for a business?
Scan the QR code at the business, follow a review link the business shared with you, or visit rviewo.com/business/[business-slug] and tap "Leave a Review." Quilly will guide you through a short interview.
