Review Generation
Get 10x More Google Reviews — Without Asking Manually
91% of consumers check reviews before hiring a contractor. Businesses with 100+ recent reviews get 3x more clicks in Google Maps. Your review count is your local SEO rank — and your close rate.
The Problem
Your competitors are burying you in Google Maps — not because they're better, but because they have more reviews.
Asking verbally after a job gets about 10% uptake on a good day. Most businesses have 20–40 Google reviews, with the most recent being months old. Meanwhile, a competitor with 200+ recent reviews dominates the Map Pack and captures the organic leads that should be yours.
Customers who are genuinely happy with your work are very willing to leave a review — they just need to be asked at the right moment, with a direct link, on the device they're already holding. That's what this system does automatically for every job you complete.

How It Works
Fully automatic. You just do the job.
01
Job marked complete in your FSM
When you close out a job in Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Workiz, the trigger fires automatically.
02
SMS fires 2 hours later
A personalised text goes to the customer with a direct link to your Google review page. No login required — one tap to review.
03
Unhappy customers redirected privately
If the customer signals dissatisfaction, they're directed to a private form instead of Google. You're notified immediately.
04
Monthly review report delivered
You receive a monthly report: new reviews, average score, review velocity, and where you rank vs local competitors.
The Compounding Effect
More reviews → higher Maps rank → more leads → more jobs → more reviews
Google's local ranking algorithm weighs review count, recency, and score. A business adding 20+ reviews per month consistently improves its position in the Map Pack — which is where 70% of service business leads originate.
A higher Map Pack position means more organic clicks — leads that cost you nothing in ad spend. That increased lead volume generates more jobs. More jobs mean more review requests. The flywheel compounds every month.

Common questions
Is this against Google's terms?
No. Asking customers for reviews is explicitly permitted by Google. What isn't allowed is incentivising reviews (paying or discounting in exchange). Our system sends a polite request after a completed job — this is fully within Google's policies.
What if a customer leaves a bad review?
The system includes a negative feedback redirect: unhappy customers are directed to a private feedback form before the Google link is offered. This gives you a chance to resolve the issue before it becomes a public review. You're notified immediately of any negative feedback.
How many reviews can I expect per month?
Most businesses go from fewer than 5% of customers leaving reviews to 25–40% with an automated request system. For a business completing 60 jobs per month, that's 15–24 new Google reviews per month. Results vary by industry and message quality.
What if I already have a review request process?
We improve it. Manual processes rely on you or your staff remembering to ask. An automated trigger removes the dependency and gets consistent results regardless of how busy you are.
What scheduling/FSM software does it work with?
Jobber, Housecall Pro, Workiz, and ServiceTitan. The trigger fires when a job is marked complete in your software. We assess your specific setup during the audit.
We work with service businesses across Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Atlanta, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Denver, and beyond — all delivered remotely.
