For example, while AI has got all the hype in the world, [recent surveys show](https://www.emarketer.com/content/marketers-overwhelmingly-prefer-authentic-ugc-over-ai-ad-creative?utm_campaign=17675184-Funnel%20Vision&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8dJ7XUiFOvPVe-aJo5-xCmZRWRFVTvxnm3G2PXYEY_bA9x0G4ihjr92Ve9x-khc6ufCjwd) 78% of marketers rate UGC as “important or extremely important” to their strategies, while only 28% view AI-generated content as important. And this is where it get’s interesting. Because while marketers may not value AI-generated content, how much UGC is actually created by a person? Some estimates say AI-generated content that looks user-generated may soon overtake human-created content. But as with any overhyped trend, consumers are becoming more savvy, [valuing ‘messiness’,](https://digiday.com/media/after-an-oversaturation-of-ai-generated-content-creators-authenticity-and-messiness-are-in-high-demand/?utm_campaign=17675184-Funnel%20Vision&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8dJ7XUiFOvPVe-aJo5-xCmZRWRFVTvxnm3G2PXYEY_bA9x0G4ihjr92Ve9x-khc6ufCjwd#:~:text=Media-,After%20an%20oversaturation%20of%20AI%2Dgenerated%20content%2C%20creators'%20authenticity,write%20scripts%20could%20alienate%20audiences.) a unique brand voice and less polished content to denote authenticity. Still, brands seem determined to put this to the test, as our In The News section will show. But you don’t have to. There is plenty you can do to keep it 💯 while leveraging content you may not even realize you have. **Read on to learn how \>\>** ![email divider](https://www.johnsteeleconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/email%20divider-1.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=796&height=44&name=email%20divider-1.png) ![w2w header](https://www.johnsteeleconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/workflow%20to%20watch%201-1.png?width=327&height=102&name=workflow%20to%20watch%201-1.png) Today’s workflow is our most time-tested. When we implemented this at KeyMe, our average Google review was 3.2 stars. Less than one year later, we were at 4.6 across more than 1000 kiosks, catapulting us to #1 in the same local and high-intent searches AI mimics today.

Reviews, authentic user videos, personal experiences--they put us back in touch with the human connection of commerce. And for a minimal time investment, you can show that that matters to you and your brand. And soon, it will matter to your customers too.   ---   ![iotw head 2](https://www.johnsteeleconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iotw%20head%202.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=406&height=70&name=iotw%20head%202.png) › A link database you can use to connect your customers directly to Google to leave a review--right along with their confirmation email.  › A unified post-purchase flow that capitalizes on a moment of brand love--a customer's first purchase.  › An integrated purchase funnel attaching review and engagement data to customer records in CRM and Email. --- ![](https://www.johnsteeleconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iotw%20head%203-1.png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=407&height=70&name=iotw%20head%203-1.png) ![iotw head 4](https://www.johnsteeleconsulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iotw%20head%204.png?width=279&height=35&name=iotw%20head%204.png) › Build a workflow that triggers on purchase by whatever means you choose.  › In order to collect reviews on Google, you need a Google Business Profile account so if you don't have one, create one. › If you only have a few locations, this part will be easy. Go to your location on Google. If you are logged in, you'll see a button marked "Ask For Reviews." Once you have this link, skip ahead to the email step below. › If you have multiple locations, export all from GBP and save to a Google sheet. Create three columns next to your business name and store code columns. Label them Google Maps link, PlacesID and Review link. In the Google Maps link column, paste this formula: ="https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=" & ENCODEURL(A2 & " " & B2).

Use this formula: ="https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid="&C2". Make sure C2 has your PlaceID. This link should take you directly to the review box.   › Now, create an email template that asks if the person enjoyed their purchase experience. If they select Yes, link them to your review link. If they say no, link them to a customer service form or chat. You can do this in Zapier automatically as well.  › One last thing: if you have multiple locations, you'll have to link your Google Maps link to the Purchase record.

And while some brands are doubling down on AI, even hiring armies of hired influencers and AI agents to manufacture "genuine" usage experiences, these efforts will start to look dated fast as even more consumers start to pick out the telltale signs of AI. The more you can do to showcase moments of genuine customer satisfaction, the more you'll stand out.   ---   *We're on a mission! In 2026, JSC has a goal of a 40% mission-driven client roster.
