As of November 2024, LouderVoice and Argolon Solutions Ltd have ceased operations. We would like to thank our many loyal customers for their support over the years. We are proud of the service we provided, the many reviews we helped generate and the businesses we helped along the way.

The LouderVoice API ran continuously with over 6 nines of reliability from 2008 until 2024.

Please feel free to look back over our blog posts and news, beginning in October 2006.

We have updated our privacy policy to include GDPR provisions. This includes information on how to request that your personal information be deleted from our systems.

In addition, anyone submitting reviews using our solution on our clients’ sites must now actively provide their consent that their name and email address can be shared with LouderVoice.

Sometimes it’s the simple features which provide the most value and that’s definitely the case with two of our most recent updates.

Extra Questions

Clients now have the ability to ask up to 5 extra optional questions from reviewers. This is not intended as a replacement for questionnaires or surveys but is more for extra context. For example, some of our hotel clients use it to ask for the room number. But feel free to use the feature in whatever way makes sense for your business. We’d love to hear what you come up with!

The first thing I do when I land on a site I haven’t used before is to check their reviews. Good or bad, I want to see that it is a company which values feedback and is actively providing services or products.

We were really excited recently to sign-up Floradoor in Cairo as our first African client. This high-end florist delivers flowers locally for a global customer base and it has been a joy to read their reviews.

We always strongly encourage our clients to request reviews using every channel available to them, particularly if the bulk of their business is not online. This can be done using receipts, invoices, compliment slips, phone calls or, in the case of our latest restaurant client in France, using an iPad!

This is simply a superb idea by l’Auberge des Trois Pucelles near Grenoble and our partners Thierry André FOUCHER and WSI Belledonne Digital Strategies. They have an iPad at the cash-register with their reviews page pre-loaded in the browser. As customers wait to complete payment, staff members ask if they’d like to leave a review. A few moments later that review is live on their site and on their Facebook Page too.

Many of our clients on PHP platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal have long benefited from our SEO Add-On.

All of our Packages provide Google Juice and Star Ratings in Search results to client sites via our review Hub, LouderYou. The advantage of this approach is ease of deployment. Our code can be added in seconds to a web-page and reviews are then live. Those reviews are indexed on our hub within hours.

We are more than a little pleased to announce this.

We were very interested to see an MSNBC article on how hotels are embracing online customer reviews. It matches our own experience, as our reviewing solutions are proving a major hit with businesses in the hospitality and travel sectors everywhere. We have seen a string of deployments in UK, Ireland, France and the US in recent months.

LouderVoice and WSI have been working together globally since early 2011. We have now joined forces to offer a compelling Social solution for SMEs in the UK.

Every business can have their online presence live and social-powered with almost no effort.

One of the most common requests we get from partners and customers is to have the same reviews SEO functionality on ASP.NET as they do for PHP and WordPress sites. And we’re delighted to say that this is now available.

All of our Packages provide Google Juice and Star Ratings in Search results to client sites via our review Hub, LouderYou. The advantage of this approach is ease of deployment.
