Surely there must be a wordpress plugin that does this ....

Getting customers to leave reviews is a challenge to say the least, so I'm trying to make it as easy as possible.
Basically what I want to do is setup a review page on my (& my clients) websites.

What would be ideal is to have the page show different things every time it loads.

1.I'd want instructional text to remain the same every time (click the link below to open our company review page, sign up & leave a review)
2. I'd like the review site logo to change every time the page loads (Yelp, Freeindex etc)
3. I'd like the URL to change every time to match the logo & point directly at our company page on the review site (Yelp, Freeindex etc)

That way I can simply point customers at mywebsite/reviews & ask them to follow instructions to leave a review & I'll get a nice spread across the various review sites.

Any ideas people ?

Thanks

    sounds like you just need an iframe and a link rotator to do this.

    Personally I'd send them to your Google Places review section as Google is taking more notice of this for Local Search rankings than 3rd party reviews.

      Or failing that - you could implement Data Feeders Ad Rotator plugin :-) meant for ads - but could quite easily do what you want it to - link to the Worpress plugin directory WordPress › Random / Rotating Ads V2 « WordPress Plugins

      I agree, Google places is the main focus but it seems sensible to have some kind of spread covering the 3rd party sites.

        Great strategy, just rank your clients using the warrior forum !

        Yes, it is good to have a spread - but that generally comes naturally anyway - some people will prefer to use review sites that they have used before. However, for people who need to be "guided" then I'm guiding them to GP :-)
