[The Economic Times](https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/tripadvisor-removed-27-lakh-reviews-identified-as-fake-in-2024-here-are-the-10-countries-that-topped-the-paid-review-list/articleshow/121420800.cms)* Authentic feedback is the antidote. Below is a two-part playbook you can hand to guides, office staff, and marketing teams to turn every Fotaflo album into a genuine 5-star magnet. --- ## 4 Fotaflo Settings to Switch On Today   1. **All users activate [Public Profile](https://www.fotaflo.com/blog/enhance-customer-connections-with-fotaflo-public-profiles)** Guests see their guide’s name and photo alongside a one-click review button inside the album—making the ask personal and friction-free. 2. Embed a [Thank-You Video bed](https://www.fotaflo.com/blog/how-to-generate-reviews-online-through-thank-you-videos) A 15-second clip from the guide, filmed on-site, triples the emotional hit when guests open their gallery and reminds them exactly who to praise. 3. Add an additional Review Link CTA In [Message templates,](https://app.fotaflo.com/guest_message_templates) Check your "Delivery - Original" template and populate the "Email call-to-action" with your preferred review platform link. 4. Automate a Review Request Schedule Fotaflo’s Reminder feature (from your reminders library) to resend the album — and the review link — 72 hours later. “Data shows that 50 % of guests find receiving a review request within three days of their experience to be ideal. Sending timely digital reminders significantly increases response rates.” [GetYourGuide](https://www.getyourguide.supply/articles/how-reviews-can-boost-visibility-and-sales) ## 4 On-Experience Habits for Your Team 1. **Seed the expectation early** During the welcome briefing, tell guests: *“You’ll receive free photos from today's adventure—if you loved the tour, please drop us a review when you open them.”* 2. **Capture a “hero” group shot** A single, share-worthy image becomes the branded memory that guests can share on review platforms, along with their 5-star rating. 3. **Name-check the guide in thank-you videos** Have the guide introduce themselves in the thank-you video and sign off the review ask (“If I made your day memorable, mention *Sam* on Tripadvisor!”). Personalised reviews rank higher for Trust & Safety teams. 4. **Close the loop publicly** Reply to every review—good or bad—within 24 h. When you answer, mention the free photos: “Glad you loved the photos—you looked great out there 😎”. Future prospects see proof that you deliver. --- ### Quick Checklist for Staff Rooms ✅ Public profile completed & “Review” button active ✅ Thank-you video recorded and uploaded before leaving site ✅ Automated reminders scheduled ✅ Guide mentions review, ask twice (briefing & farewell) Pin this next to the charging station so every shift starts review-ready. --- ### Final Word When reviews are **genuine, photo-backed, and ridiculously easy to write**, you don’t need to game the system.
