Google review writer


In this Vibe Season treat, Webflow Partner Hal Zeitlin cooks up a delightfully user-friendly app that helps customers write an original Google review for Zeitlin’s Delicatessen—all in under a minute.
Watch Hal craft a charming, deli-branded experience that guides visitors through picking what they noshed on, what they loved, and any extra details they want to share. The app then whips up a fresh, authentic, one-of-a-kind review and presents it in an editable card ready for copying or posting straight to Google.
With optional image uploads, follow-up email logging, and a friendly thank-you message to top it all off, Hal shows how Webflow can make even writing reviews feel personable, quick, and deliciously fun during Vibe Season.
The prompt
Build a user-friendly web app that helps customers write an original Google review for Zeitlin’s Delicatessen (a Jewish deli). The app should be designed to be very easy to use, guiding the user through writing a review in under 1 minute. Here are the requirements and features:Goal: Create a fast (under 60 seconds), fun, and effective experience that helps Zeitlin’s customers generate thoughtful, unique, and Google-friendly reviews.Welcome & Branding:Include Zeitlin’s Deli branding with a friendly intro (e.g. “Thanks for visiting! Let’s write a quick review of your experience.”)Use deli-specific language (e.g. “nosh”) for charmInput Form (Experience Details):Name field – text input for the user’s name. If the URL has query parameters name, use them to pre-fill this form. This field is optional for the review text itself but needed for follow-up.Email field – text input for the user’s email address. Pre-filled via query string email if available. Used for sending the review if they choose.Menu Item selector – a dropdown menu to let the user select what food they had. Populate from Zeitlin’s Deli’s Webflow CMS, or use a hardcoded fallback list. I put in two collections, for food and menu.Liked Aspects multi-select – checkboxes for “Delicious taste,” “Portion size,” “Friendly staff,” “Clean and cozy atmosphere,” “Quick service,” “Authentic vibe,” etc. When you check off a checkbox, it then asks you to share specifics. The reviews should be 100% authentic.Additional comments (optional) – a small text area for specific notes (e.g. “Loved the free pickle on the side!”)The ability to upload an image of their food if they wish/have one.Generate Review Button:When clicked, the app generates a short review based on inputs:Includes menu itemMentions selected aspectsIncorporates optional user commentUse multiple templates and synonym sets to generate original text each timeMaintain a warm, inviting, deli-inspired toneReview length: 2–5 sentences (around 50–125 words)Display the Generated Review:Show review in an editable text area or card for user to copy/editCopy & Leave Review Button:Copies the review to clipboardAlso has a button to open the direct Google Maps link to Zeitlin’s Deli’s “Write a Review” popup (https://www.google.com/search?q=zeitlins+deli+leave+a+review&rlz=1C1CHBFenUS909US909&oq=zeitlins+deli+leave+a+review&gslcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCwgAEEUYChg5GKABMgkIARAhGAoYoAEyCQgCECEYChigATIJCAMQIRgKGKABMgcIBBAhGKsCMgcIBRAhGI8CMgcIBhAhGI8C0gEIMzAzMmowajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x880e2d9ff86e5741:0x16b0090f91aa9c5a,1,,,,)Show confirmation message after copy (e.g. “Copied!
