Partner brief

ReviewReply AI × Treatwell

A one-page look at how AI review replies support Treatwell's marketplace discovery, partner retention and multi-location software — and where an API partnership fits.

Priority-by-priority mapping

Priority 1

Marketplace discovery and conversion

Ratings and answered reviews are ranking and conversion signals on a booking marketplace.

  • Salons that reply to reviews recover more unhappy clients and lift their star average.
  • A higher, better-managed rating makes every Treatwell listing convert harder.
  • Paste a Google, Trustpilot or Facebook review — get an on-brand reply in about 20 seconds.

Priority 2

Partner success and retention

Reputation admin is the unpaid work salon owners do after closing.

  • Five tones plus a Brand Vibe control (Casual, Professional, Apologetic) for service recovery.
  • Optional appointment context — service, date, reference, stylist — referenced in the reply.
  • Winning replies can be saved and tagged, so the AI learns each salon's proven voice.
  • Sits entirely outside bookings, payments and the calendar — nothing to migrate.

Priority 3

Chains, groups and Connect software

Already shipped, not roadmap — the strongest overlap of the three.

  • Enterprise and location records with role-based access for partner accounts.
  • Location switcher in the app header; review history and analytics scoped per location.
  • White-label tier for groups and managing partners.
  • API keys with validation and per-key usage metering for programmatic access.

The API and multi-location angle

For a marketplace or a salon chain, the useful shape isn't a consumer signup — it's programmatic reply generation across many venues under one account.

Programmatic access

  • Scoped API keys, generated and revoked per integration.
  • Server-side validation on every call, with usage metering per key.
  • Send review text plus optional appointment context, receive a reply.

Multi-venue structure

  • One enterprise, many venues, role-based access.
  • Per-venue review history, tone settings and analytics.
  • White-label presentation for chains and managing partners.
90-day pilot offer

A fixed-fee 90-day Treatwell pilot

One chain or a cluster of Treatwell venues, live in a week, with agreed numbers and a clean exit at day 90. Designed to prove the reputation lift before any platform-wide commitment.

Pricing

£2,500

fixed, for the full 90 days

  • Up to 25 venues and 5,000 AI replies included.
  • API keys, multi-venue setup and white-label presentation included.
  • Onboarding, tone tuning and a mid-pilot review at day 45 included.
  • Credited in full against a wholesale or licence agreement signed within 30 days of day 90.

Success metrics

  • Reply coverage: 90%+ of new reviews across pilot venues answered within 24 hours.
  • Time saved: under 60 seconds per reply, measured against a pre-pilot baseline.
  • Star average: +0.2 or better on pilot venues over the 90 days.
  • Recovery rate: share of 1–3 star reviewers who update or re-book after a reply.
  • Adoption: 70%+ of pilot venue managers active in week 12.

Exit criteria

  • Roll out: metrics met — move to a wholesale per-venue rate or a white-label licence.
  • Extend: partial results — one 60-day extension at the same fee to finish the data set.
  • Walk away: metrics missed — either side ends at day 90, no notice and no further fees.
  • No lock-in: no auto-renew, no exclusivity, and pilot data is exported or deleted on request.

Longer-term commercial models — referral rev-share, wholesale per-venue and white-label licence — are set out on the commercial terms sheet.
