Turn Guest Reviews Into Referrals

  • Kay Walten
  • 5 February 2026
📖 Pull 10 five-star reviews, create two piles or columns. Count reviews with specific nouns to identify "Sticky" reviews. Add repeating details to your checkout message to enhance guest memory and referrals. Example: “Before you go, sit by the fire pit at dusk,” which increased mentions in reviews. If no details repeat, highlight unique features, like a hidden bakery. Aim for 0-2 Sticky reviews initially. Use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to sort reviews if needed.
