A thin review count reads as risky
A contractor with nine reviews looks unproven next to one with ninety, even when the work is identical. Volume and recency both matter more than most people expect.
Contractor Plus Also on Contractor Pro
More 5-star reviews, without ever asking in person.
Asking for a review face to face is awkward and you forget anyway. This asks for you, at the moment the customer is happiest, and it routes the unhappy ones to your phone instead of to Google.

How did we do?
Try a rating — see where it sends them
What it costs you
Reviews are the first thing anyone checks
Before a homeowner calls you, they look at your star rating and read the two most recent reviews. That is most of the hiring decision, and it happens before you know they exist.
You forget to ask, every single time
You finish, you get paid, you drive to the next job. Nobody has ever driven away thinking “I should follow up about a Google review.” That’s why it has to be automatic.
The one bad review is the loudest
An unhappy customer will absolutely remember to post. If the only person motivated enough to write something is the frustrated one, your rating drifts down while your good customers stay silent.
How it works
It asks at the right moment, and it asks the right way
The timing matters as much as the asking. A request that arrives while the customer is still pleased converts far better than one that shows up a week later.
The request goes out
Marked complete in the system, or triggered by you with one tap. The customer gets a short, personal text or email — not a form letter.
They tell you how it went
Rather than sending everyone straight to Google, we ask how the job went first. That single step is what protects your rating.
Happy goes public, unhappy comes to you
Satisfied customers get a one-tap link to your Google listing. Anyone who wasn’t happy gets routed privately to you, so you hear about it before the internet does.

What you get
What’s in it
Polite automatic reminders
Most people mean to leave a review and get distracted. One gentle nudge a few days later roughly doubles the response without being annoying. It stops after that.
Negative feedback comes to you first
This is not about hiding bad reviews. It’s about getting the chance to fix a problem before the customer is writing about it publicly — which is what a good business would do anyway.
One-tap for the customer
The link opens their Google review box directly. Every extra step you make someone take costs you responses.
Reviews show on your website
Your best reviews can pull through onto the site automatically, so the proof is doing work in two places at once.
Works for jobs of any size
Same flow whether it was a $200 repair or a $30,000 roof. The small jobs are often the fastest to leave a review.
You can see who’s been asked
A simple list of who was sent a request and who responded, so nothing gets asked twice and nobody gets missed.

Why it matters
Your rating is doing the selling while you sleep
Local search results are driven heavily by review count, review rating, and how recently people have left them. A business with steady recent reviews outranks one with a handful of old ones, even with less SEO work behind it.
That means reviews are doing double duty. They convince the person already looking at you, and they help more people find you in the first place. It is unusual for one thing to affect both sides that directly.
What automation changes is consistency. A contractor who asks every customer gets a slow, permanent climb in both rating and count. A contractor who asks when they remember gets an occasional review and a lot of good work nobody ever hears about.
To be clear about what this doesn’t do: it can’t make anyone write a review, and it can’t remove one you don’t like. It just makes sure everybody gets asked, at the right moment, in a way that takes them ten seconds.
Straight answers
Questions people ask about this one
Is filtering out unhappy customers allowed?
We don’t filter reviews — the customer can always go to Google on their own, and nothing stops them. What we do is ask how the job went before handing over a link, which is the same as a business owner asking “everything alright?” before saying “would you mind leaving a review?” Google’s policies prohibit review gating in the sense of only soliciting positive reviews; we ask everyone, we just route the feedback so you hear about problems directly.
Which review sites does it work with?
Google is the default and it’s where the ranking benefit is. It can also point at Facebook or industry-specific sites if those matter for your trade.
What if I get a bad review anyway?
You will eventually, and it’s survivable — a perfect five-star record with 200 reviews actually reads as suspicious. We’ll help you respond to it. A calm, professional reply to a complaint often does more good than the complaint does harm.
How many should I expect?
Depends entirely on your volume and your customers. What we can say is that asking every customer automatically will get you dramatically more than asking occasionally, because right now the answer for most contractors is close to zero.
Can I approve messages before they go out?
You can, though most people turn that off after a week because the messages are the same each time and approving them becomes another thing to remember.
Not sure this is your bottleneck?
