Kleos Coins: The Recognition Currency for Local Businesses

Kleos Coins are the reward currency of the Hey Kleos network. You earn them every time you do something that helps a local business or service professional grow — leave a verified review, refer a friend, tip your favorite pro, or claim a review someone else wrote about you. Coins add up on your profile and can be redeemed across the network of participating local businesses.

Think of them as the modern version of "thank you." When you support a great local pro, Hey Kleos makes sure that support shows up somewhere real — on your profile, in your badges, and eventually as a perk you can spend.

• Leave a verified review — 5 Kleos Coins
• Bonus 10 coins when the pro you reviewed joins Kleos
• Leave a tip through Kleos — 5 Kleos Coins
• Refer a friend who books — 10 Kleos Coins
• Claim your own profile — 20 Kleos Coins
• Send a Quick Shout-Out — 3 Kleos Coins

Every reward is capped and tuned to prevent gaming, so the coins you earn actually mean something. This is why Kleos reviews and referrals feel warm and meaningful, not spammy.

Kleos Coins are already redeemable for Founding Member perks and participating business rewards inside the Hey Kleos network. As the network grows, coins will unlock booking perks, service discounts, profile boosts, and marketplace benefits across participating local businesses and service professionals.

Because coins are portable across the network, they are as much about your reputation as your wallet. A high Kleos Coin balance says "this person actually shows up for local pros" — and that reputation opens doors far bigger than any single perk.

Traditional review platforms treat customers as free labor. You write the review, they run the ads. Kleos Coins flip that equation: the platform rewards the people whose words and referrals actually build local reputations. Businesses win because their best customers stay engaged. Service pros win because appreciation becomes visible. And customers win because their support finally counts for something.

Kleos Coins work alongside your Google reviews and Yelp reviews, not against them. When you leave a review through Hey Kleos, we can help you post the same review on Google or Yelp with two taps. You get to support your pro on the platforms that matter, and Kleos still recognizes the effort with coins.

• Every earned coin adds to your public supporter score
• Coin activity unlocks badges like Generous Tipper and Local Supporter
• Businesses see who their top supporters are and can thank them
• Service pros see who champions them the most
• The network gets warmer with every genuine review

Early Kleos supporters — Seed Members and Founding Members — earn coins that never expire and get first access to network perks. If you join now, your coins compound alongside the network itself, and your name lives on as one of the people who helped build the local reputation economy.
