Getting started.

Who is Smilemood for?

Independents, shops, professionals, brands, networks and franchises: any business that has a Google Business Profile and customers.

What is Moodi?

Smilemood’s assistant. It prepares review replies, Google posts, special opening hours, questionnaires and campaigns. You approve, or Moodi publishes according to your rules.

How do I sign up?

With the “Try for free” button. The Free plan does not require a card. Paid plans go through secure payment with Stripe.

Can I cancel whenever I like?

Yes. The subscription has no fixed term and can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the current month.

Your reviews and your replies.

Which reviews come into Smilemood?

Google reviews, Smilemood reviews, and TripAdvisor for restaurants, accommodation and leisure. Pages Jaunes and Petit Futé are added as read-only.

On which platforms can I reply from Smilemood?

On Google and on TripAdvisor. On Pages Jaunes and Petit Futé, replies are made on their website.

Can I edit what Moodi has written?

Yes. Its suggestion is just text that you can change freely before publishing it.

Does Moodi publish without me?

Only the automatic replies you have switched on, following your rules. Everything else waits for your approval. For 1- or 2-star reviews, publishing on its own only happens if you choose it, with a warning and a double confirmation.

Can an automatic reply contain a link?

No. It contains no link, no address and no number, and does not exceed 900 characters.

How am I notified of a negative review?

An alert is sent when a rating reaches the threshold you have chosen: 1, 2 or 3 stars. For a Google review, it arrives within 10 minutes during the day and 30 minutes at night.

Smilemood reviews.

What is a Smilemood review?

A review left on a page in your name, from a campaign link or a QR code. It includes a rating, a text, a first name, a surname and an email address. Only the first name is shown publicly.

Can my customer also leave their review on Google?

Depending on your settings, they are then offered the option to copy their text and open Google. Nothing is published on Google on their behalf.

Are there limits to prevent abuse?

Yes: one review per contact per campaign, one review per email address per location over 30 days, three reviews per connection per location over 24 hours. The form also blocks automated submissions.

How is the directory rating calculated?

It is the average of Smilemood reviews and Google reviews, with each review counting as one. It is shown from 5 Smilemood reviews onwards, and all ratings are published, including low ones.

Asking for reviews.

How do I ask my customers for a review?

By email, by SMS, with a campaign sent to a contact list, or with a QR code displayed in your business.

Do I need contact details for all my customers?

No. The QR code doesn’t need any. For an SMS, you need the customer’s number; for an email, their address.

Is the satisfaction questionnaire included?

It is reserved for paid plans. Moodi prepares it, you read it over, and the main rating becomes a Smilemood review.

Can my appointment software trigger the request?

With Doctolib, yes: a Chrome extension sends the request after the appointment has taken place. Everything is explained on the medical reviews page.

Doctolib and healthcare.

Do I need to change my booking software?

No. The Smilemood extension for Chrome reads your Doctolib diary and sends the review request after the “seen” status. The diary must stay open in Chrome.

When does the request go out after “seen”?

You choose: straight away, 15 minutes later (the recommended setting), 1 hour, 3 hours, or in the evening at 7 pm. It goes out between 9 am and 8 pm, Monday to Saturday, 50 per day at most. These limits can be changed.

Who never receives a request?

Patients who did not attend, cancelled appointments and people who have refused notifications. The same appointment does not trigger two requests.

What does the extension read in my diary?

Appointments marked “seen”, with the patient’s first name, surname, email and phone number, to send them the review request.

Is the review request compatible with my professional rules?

They vary according to your professional body: check with it. A public reply must give no treatment details, and you read over each one.

Moodi.

What can Moodi do today?

Open the right screen, give your review figures, prepare replies to yesterday’s Google reviews, special opening hours, a Google post, a questionnaire or a campaign.

What does Moodi do without my approval?

In the app, nothing: it prepares, and the action runs when you click, within 24 hours. Only the automatic replies you have switched on go out, following your rules.

What can’t it do yet?

It doesn’t prepare posts with photos, doesn’t handle several locations at once, and from its window it only replies to Google reviews.

Where do I find Moodi?

Its window is open on every screen of the app.

Does Moodi keep our conversations?

Its window doesn’t keep a history yet: each request starts from scratch.

Can Moodi attach a file?

Not yet in its window: attachments will come with the next versions.

Google Business Profile.

What can I change from Smilemood?

Your profile information, opening hours, special opening hours, services, photos, links and posts.

Does Moodi change my profile on its own?

No. It prepares special opening hours and posts, and they go out when you click. Everything else you change in the “My Google profile” screen.

What about Google’s questions and answers?

Google has closed access to them: Smilemood does not offer them.

What happens if my profile gets disconnected?

An email lets you know, and you reconnect it from the “Connections” screen.

Can I manage several profiles at once?

Yes, with a group account: the “Google listings” screen handles them in bulk.

Can I publish a post with a photo?

Yes, from the profile screen. Moodi prepares the text of the posts.

Google Maps ranking.

How is the ranking measured?

Smilemood queries Google Maps at several points around your address, for each keyword, and keeps the top 20 results at each point. The data comes from DataForSEO.

Which distances are available?

Squares of 3, 5 and 10 km per side, with a 5 by 5 grid of points, checked together. For a wider customer base, squares of 25 and 50 km, on request, with a 7 by 7 grid.

How often?

Automatically on the 1st of each month. You can also run a new measurement, once a day per keyword and per area.

How many keywords are tracked?

5 by default. The number of on-demand measurements depends on a monthly cap; an email lets you know when it is reached.

What does the screen show?

The share of the area where you are in the top 3, the number of businesses ahead of you, your tracked keywords and the date of the last check. Click a point to see the ranking at that spot.

Which plan includes this tracking?

The Ultra plan. See the Pricing page.

Website.

How much does the website cost?

€59 per month excl. VAT per location, no set-up fee and no commitment. It is included in the Ultra plan and available as an option with Free.

How is it created?

By chatting with Moodi: it asks its questions step by step, and the website builds itself next to the conversation, on desktop or on phone.

I don’t have a website. Is that a problem?

No. Moodi starts from your Google Business Profile when Smilemood knows it. If you do have a website, it reuses the logo, photos and texts you tick.

Can I go back on a choice?

Yes. Every step already answered keeps an “Edit” button: the question comes back with your answers ticked.

Which industries are covered?

Restaurants, tradespeople, law and accounting, healthcare, with 3 templates each, so 12 in total.

Can a restaurant menu go on the website?

Yes: it can be imported from a PDF or a photo, and you read it over before publishing.

How do my visitors book?

As you choose: a form, Zenchef, a link or the phone.

Notifications and reports.

Which emails will I receive?

The negative review alert, the morning summary, the weekly report, the monthly report, the campaign report, the QR code report, and useful messages: profile disconnected, ranking measurements used up.

Can I adjust them?

Yes, each user chooses in “Notifications”: alert threshold, time of the summary, frequency of the QR code report.

What time do the reports arrive?

The summary at 7, 8 or 9 am, on days when there is something new. The weekly report on Sunday at 9 pm, the monthly one on the 4th.

Can several people receive these emails?

Yes: the settings are specific to each user of the account.

Is there a version for a group?

Yes, alerts and reports also exist in a multi-location version, profile by profile.

What does the campaign report contain?

It arrives the day after sending and gives the result of your campaign.

Plans and payment.

What is included in the price per location?

The plan licence, for one location. The price goes down from the second location, for all your locations. The website is included in Ultra.

How am I billed?

Every month, by bank card via Stripe. Any month started remains due. Your invoices can be downloaded from your account.

Does the Free plan have a time limit?

No, the free plan has no time limit.

Can I take just the website?

Yes: €59 excl. VAT per month with the Free plan, no set-up fee. For Moodi, review requests and your Google Maps ranking, choose Ultra, which includes the website.

What if I send a lot of SMS?

Add a pack to Super or Ultra: 100 more SMS for €22 excl. VAT per month, or 500 for €110 excl. VAT per month.

And above 20 locations?

Pricing is on quotation, with a dedicated contact and the overview of your group.

Multiple locations.

I have several locations: what does Smilemood change?

You get an overview of the group, with filters by period, by source and by location, a shared “Reviews to handle” screen and Google Business Profiles in bulk.

Who sees what?

The group manager has full rights in every location. Accounts are set up with our team.

Can I handle reviews for all locations in one place?

Yes, in “Reviews to handle”.

Can I compare my locations?

Yes: rating, reviews without a reply and automatic sending are side by side, filterable by period.

Is there a list that shows where to look first?

Your data.

What are my rights over my data?
