How Growie works
From your Google listing to a front desk that answers.
Eight steps, in the order they really run — and nobody asks for an email until step five.
Powered by Google. We keep your listing's ID, never its content.
The journey
Eight steps, in the order they really run
Open any step to see what is actually happening underneath.

Growie will not guess a number about your business — it asks you.
See what your own listing gives it- Free to lookStep 1
You type your business name.
- You
- Pick yourself out of Google's list.
- Growie
- Takes your listing's ID. No account, no card.
How this works
- No match? It says so rather than showing someone else's business.
- Step 2
Growie reads your Google listing.
- You
- Nothing — you did this work years ago.
- Growie
- Name, category, area, hours, photos, reviews.
How this works
- Hours pass through word for word. We re-type nothing.
- No service list for your trade? It proposes none.
- Reviews keep the stars each person really left.
- A rating we cannot see gets no stars, never a flattering five.
- Step 3
You correct what it read.
- You
- Fix what Google has wrong. Tick your real services.
- Growie
- Treats your words as the truth from then on.
How this works
- Confirmed facts are the only thing the front desk may answer from.
- Asked something you never told it, Growie says so and fetches you.
- A promise or a number it cannot source becomes a handoff, not a message.
- Prices are not asked for here, and not stored here.
- Step 4
It builds your website while you watch.
- You
- Look at it. Open it on your phone.
- Growie
- Rebuilds your site, or builds one. About a minute.
How this works
- The real render, not a mock-up of one.
- Home page free. Publishing the full site is Growie+.
- Making it yoursStep 5
You say the business is yours.
- You
- An email, a consent tick, a six-digit code.
- Growie
- Saves the business to you, corrections and all.
How this works
- The wording you agreed to is stored with the moment you agreed.
- The same record proves we stopped, the day you tell us to.
- A mobile number is optional. The code goes to your email.
- Step 6
You prove it is yours.
- You
- One of three doors. You need only one.
- Growie
- Publishes nothing, sends nothing, charges nothing until you pass.
How this works
- Google sign-in, or a code to an address at your listing's own domain.
- No website? A person confirms you, usually within one business day.
- Then step seven happens in your console rather than here.
- No fourth door by phone: anyone can read that number off Google.
- Step 7
You decide whether to hire it.
- You
- Approve the mandate, or keep the free version.
- Growie
- Asks once, with the price on the button.
How this works
- Say yes and the first month is charged there and then.
- Payment happens in the provider's own checkout. We never see your bank details.
- One subscription per location. Cancel any time and keep everything built.
- Working for youStep 8
It connects to where your customers are.
- You
- Two or three taps. You may stop halfway.
- Growie
- WhatsApp, your Google profile, and how you take deposits.
How this works
- Meta clears each business, so WhatsApp we set up with you.
- It reads each connection's real state, not what it hoped.
- Stop halfway and each one waits in your console. Nothing is lost.
- Your own domain is two DNS records, written out on Growie+.
After you hire
What it does on its own is a rule, not a slider
- It gets on with
- Answering customers in writing, on the channels you connected.
- Capturing the enquiry and everything attached to it.
- Reminders for the appointments in your diary.
- It drafts, and waits
- Notes to customers who have gone quiet, and offers for empty slots.
- Replies to your reviews, written in your voice.
- Posts and pages for your site. Publishing is never automatic.
- It is never set loose on
- Money — a refund, a discount, a request to pay.
- Any public reply to criticism. It waits, every time.
- That refusal lives in the server, not in a setting.
What you see afterwards
- Your console opens on what needs a decision, with what Growie handled underneath.
- Once a month, a receipt: what it did, what happened, what it was worth.
- Counts first, money only where it can show where the figure came from.
- Where it cannot see the answer, the line says so rather than a nought.
