If you’ve ever run a restaurant in Edmonton, you know the moment well: a customer finishes dinner, says everything was “amazing,” thanks the staff on their way out—and then disappears into the night without leaving a review. The same happens at dental clinics, retail stores, salons, auto shops… everywhere. The service is great, customers are thrilled, but when it comes to actually capturing Edmonton business reviews? That’s where things fall apart.
It’s not that people don’t want to leave reviews. It’s that life gets busy. They get to their car, check a text, turn on the engine, and the moment is gone.
But something is shifting in the Edmonton local business scene. From Whyte Ave cafés to Oliver dental offices, businesses are finding a new, smarter way to collect customer feedback Edmonton customers are happy to share—effortlessly, instantly, and in as little as three seconds. And a big part of that shift comes from innovative tools like Digitize Stands, created right here by Digitize Media Corp, Edmonton’s own digital marketing experts.
Let’s be honest—reviews can make or break a local business in Edmonton. Whether someone is searching “best restaurant Edmonton,” “dentist near me,” or “auto repair West Edmonton,” the businesses with strong Google reviews always stand out first.
Studies show 97% of people read online reviews before making a purchase or booking an appointment.
That’s nearly every customer walking into your business.
But here’s the frustrating part for Edmonton small businesses: collecting those reviews isn’t easy.
And in a city like Edmonton—where competition is fierce, from downtown to Mill Woods to St. Albert—every missing review affects:
The truth is simple: Edmonton businesses are great at delivering quality service. But collecting reviews? That’s been the bottleneck.
For years, businesses relied on the same old review request methods—and today, they’re all showing their age.
Customers rarely open them. If they do, the moment of satisfaction has already passed.
And let’s not forget spam filters.
Sure, texts are instant… but they can also feel intrusive.
Many customers ignore messages from unknown numbers, especially after a service visit.
We all know how this goes: customers throw them in their purse, pocket, or car cup holder—and never see them again. Nobody wants to manually type a long, confusing URL.
Staff feel uncomfortable asking. Customers feel put on the spot.
And because it’s inconsistent, reviews remain inconsistent too.
Here’s the key issue: traditional methods rely on customers doing too much work later.
Edmonton businesses don’t need more reminders—they need a frictionless solution.
Imagine this:
A customer finishes dinner, pays their bill, and sees a Digitize Stand sitting beside the debit machine. It says:
“Scan to Leave a Review — 3 Seconds”
They pull out their phone, scan, tap “5 stars,” and boom—done. No apps. No typing. No friction.

You’ve probably already seen these stands popping up around Edmonton—on counters, tables, front desks, and checkout stations. And there’s a reason: they fit everywhere.
Edmonton’s food scene is competitive. Restaurants on Whyte Ave, Jasper Ave, and in West Edmonton are using review stands:
Customers leave reviews right after they finish eating. It’s effortless.
