Job's done. The ask goes out. You don't have to remember.
Every customer gets the same message and the same public Google link. Nobody gets screened out first. That part matters, and I'll explain why.
$297 a month. No setup fee. No contract. Cancel anytime.
One message, the day the work is finished
You close out the job. The customer gets a short note with a link that opens the review box on your Google listing.
It goes out by text once your number is registered, and by email until then. Your name is on it, not a company voice you've never used. It asks once, asks again a few days later, then stops.
The link opens the review box directly. No account hunting, no searching for your name, no five steps on a phone in a driveway.
Why this beats asking in person
Asking face to face works and it's awkward, so it happens on the good days and not the busy ones. This asks on every job, at the same point, whether you were in a hurry or not.
I will not screen unhappy customers away from Google
Some competitors sell that as a feature. A one-to-five rating in front of the link, the fours and fives sent to Google, everybody else routed to a private form. I won't build it.
Why it's a bad trade
That practice is called review gating. The FTC's rule on consumer reviews and testimonials bars suppressing honest negative reviews and showing a filtered set as if it were the whole picture. Google's own review policies prohibit soliciting reviews only from customers you expect to be happy.
A business caught doing it can lose its reviews or lose the listing. Risking the listing to hide a three-star is not worth it.
What you get instead
- Every customer gets the public link. Happy, unhappy, quiet, all of them.
- The same message gives an unhappy customer a direct line to you. In addition to the public link, never in place of it.
- If somebody had a bad day with your crew, you hear it first and get a chance to fix it. They still decide what to write.
- No gift cards, no discounts, nothing paid for a review.
The honest version has a real benefit: asking stops depending on you remembering to ask. A steady ask on every finished job, and what your customers say is what shows up.
Three steps, and I do most of it
-
We find or build the listing
If you have a Google Business Profile, I pull the direct review link off it. If you don't have one, I build it: hours, service areas, photos.
-
You approve the wording
Twenty-minute first call. I write the ask short and in your words. You read it before anyone else does.
-
You mark jobs finished
That's your whole part. Email asks work the day the site goes live. Your text-back turns on in about two weeks.
I've built one of these from zero
My one client, Fortified Assets, had no listing the day I started. No profile, no photos, no reviews. I built it out and it's been collecting reviews since. I'm not printing a count here. Go look instead: fortified-assets.com.
What this does not do
If the leak's small, I'll tell you to keep your money.
Not on offer, at any price
- It doesn't write reviews or post them. Nobody here types a word into your listing.
- It doesn't remove a bad review. I can't, and anyone who says they can is selling you something else.
- It doesn't filter, screen, or sort your customers before the link goes out.
- It doesn't promise you a rating, a count, or a spot in anybody's results.
And it won't cover for the work
If the crew shows up late and the job comes back twice, a steady ask makes that visible faster. This is only as good as the day your customer had.
I also have no results of my own to quote. No totals, no before and after. This has never run for a paying client, so there is no honest number to give you, and I'd rather say so than make one up.
Tell me how you ask for reviews now.
Book a time. I'll come back with what the ask would say and how your listing looks today. If none of it is worth $297 to you, I'll tell you.
Try it for 30 days. If you don't want it, for any reason, tell me and I'll refund the month. No conditions. The 30 days start at go-live. If you take the refund, the site comes down.
