How it works for your practice
No software for your team to learn. No buttons to press. We connect, the engine runs, you read the reviews.
- We connect to your practice management software — Cliniko, Power Diary, Halaxy, Nookal, TM3, or any system with automated reminders
- The AI Psychology Engine decides who, when, and how — cohort-aware by practice type (general / sports / paediatric / surgical), urbanisation, and region
- The message goes out as if from your practice — your podiatrist, your owner, your practice leader. Never from X18.
- One tap to review on Google — plus a direct line to the practice so your team can call back, fix, and follow up on any concern
- You watch the reviews, calls, and bookings climb — we report weekly
Your role? Serve patients and answer the extra calls.

What this does for your team.
The clinical workload doesn't change. The daily climate around it does. Podiatry teams wear down from a thousand small things — and they recover from a thousand small lifts. Reviews are one of those lifts, every day.
Better mental health on the floor
Five-star reviews land in the morning. The team reads them before the first appointment. The daily climate shifts from the angry 1% you remember to the happy 99% you used to forget. Positive reinforcement, by repetition, every shift.
87%
of practices report better team mental health on the platform.
Easier hiring against the podiatrist shortage
Podiatrists, assistants, and reception staff Google a clinic before they apply. A clinic with 600 five-star reviews and a 4.9 rating gets the inbound. Strong reputation answers the staffing problem quietly — applicants come to you, not the other way round.
The downstream benefit most practices don't talk about.
Observed across the X18 customer base.
Less reception stress, better retention
Negative moments don't ambush the team on Monday morning anymore. Every client has a direct line to the practice, so complaints tend to arrive as a phone call your team can resolve and follow up — a conversation, not a headline on the clinic's Google profile. Reception holds onto its people for longer.

reduction in negative public reviews after AI-driven feedback routing.
X18 platform data, May 2026. The Review Engine is a reputation product — not a treatment for mental-health conditions.
What one negative public review quietly costs you.
Patients read your reviews before they pick up the phone. One visible 1-star sitting at the top of your "Most Recent" loses bookings — silently, before the phone ever rings. The math is brutal once you run it.

in lost potential revenue, from one review.
One review. Six figures. Quietly.
This is why every client gets a direct feedback line to the practice. A multi-clinician urban Melbourne podiatry practice resolved 16 complaints as conversations in the first months on the platform. Run the same math: that's seven figures of potential revenue defended by fixing problems while they were still fixable. And every five-star review going up at the same time pushes the recents page further from anything anyone could hold against you.
Illustrative calculation. The "20 prospects deterred per negative review" reflects widely observed conversion patterns in local-business search; patient lifetime spend varies by clinic size and service mix. Use as direction, not contract.
Real numbers. Real clinics.

We don't stop getting positive reviews.
I was skeptical at first — patients always say they'll leave a review and then they don't. A few months in and they don't stop. The team feels appreciated every shift.

We're getting them daily now. The team reads through the morning batch before the first patient. It's quietly transformed how we start the day.

Unhappy patients pick up the phone now.
Sixteen patients used the direct feedback line in the first three months — a frustrating consult, an orthotic fit that took too long. Each got a phone call from our team. Most became long-term patients.

Four reviews a month became 60+.
We were getting maybe four reviews a month from genuinely happy patients who happened to think of it. Now we see roughly fifteen a week. Same patients, same clinic, very different ratio.

We were stuck around 195 reviews for years — orthotic patients, diabetic patients, sports-injury patients who never thought to leave one. Two and a half months on the platform and we're at 362. New patient bookings climbed with it.

The AI Psychology Engine — built for podiatry clinics, not restaurants
Generic review software was built for hospitality. The X18 engine learns from message outcomes across podiatry clinics — weighted by practice type, clientele, and region — so the request that goes to your patient is the one that's working in clinics like yours.
- •Cohort-weighted by practice type (general / sports / paediatric / surgical)
- •Cohort-weighted by region & urbanisation (UK, AU, NZ, US, CA — urban, regional, rural)
- •Real-time message-outcome analysis — what wording is generating reviews this week
- •Smart timing — sent at the moment the client is most emotionally invested
- •Always sent as if from your practice — never from X18
- •A direct feedback line for every client, so concerns reach your team and get resolved fast
You don't learn anything. You don't send anything.
The system runs.
