The problem

You do better work. They get chosen anyway.

Your customers are happy. The job got done right. But when it's time to leave a review — nothing. Meanwhile the big outfit down the road stacks up another forty this month.

Happy customers, no reviews

Hundreds of good jobs and barely a page of reviews to show for it. Every new lead makes you prove yourself from scratch.

No time to chase them

You're on the truck, quoting, invoicing and answering the phone. Asking twice for a review is the first thing to fall off the list.

Buried in the map pack

Google ranks review count and freshness. Fewer reviews means fewer calls — even when you're the better company.

How it works

Set it up once. Then forget it exists.

You mark the job done. We handle the rest — the ask, the follow-up, and the reply to every review that lands.

01

You close the job

Tag the customer as complete — one tap in your CRM, or straight from your phone. That is the only thing you ever have to do.

Day 0
02

They get a text

Two hours later — not from the driveway — they get a short, friendly text with a direct link to your Google review page.

+2 hours
03

One polite nudge

Didn't tap it? One reminder, two days later. If they already left the review, it never sends. Nobody gets pestered.

04

Reviews land. We reply.

New reviews appear on your profile and we respond to each one, so Google keeps seeing an active, well-run business.

The no-gating pledge

Every customer gets the same link.

A lot of review companies quietly screen your customers first — happy ones get sent to Google, unhappy ones get routed to a private form. It's called review gating, it violates Google's policy, and businesses have had their entire review history wiped for it.

We don't do it. We never will. Your reviews are an asset you own — we're not going to put them at risk to make a dashboard look better.

Same Google link to every customerHappy, unhappy, in between — identical treatment, every time.
No "how did we do?" screening stepNo survey that decides who's allowed to reach your review page.

Review Gap Report — Ridgeline Plumbing & Drain Alexandria, VA · pulled from Google Places
86× Review gap
Nearest competitor beating youNational drain-and-sewer chain · 3.7 miles away 2,926
You4.9 stars — your rating is already better than theirs 34
~16 / monthReviews you'd realistically collect at 60 jobs a month
226Where that puts you in 12 months
4.9 ★Your rating already beats theirs — it's volume you're short on

Straight answer: you will not catch 2,926, and you don't need to. Google weighs review count and how recent they are, so steady new volume is what moves you in the map pack — not matching a competitor's lifetime total. At 4.9 stars you already win on quality; you're only losing on how few people said so.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this against Google's rules?

Asking every customer for an honest review is explicitly allowed. What isn't allowed is screening them first — sending happy customers to Google and unhappy ones somewhere private. That's review gating, and it's the thing that gets review histories wiped. We don't do it, which is exactly why we put the pledge on this page.

What do I actually have to do?

Mark the job complete. That's it. One tap when you're done, and the system takes it from there. If you'd rather not touch anything, we can usually trigger it straight from your existing CRM or invoicing tool.

How long until I see reviews?

The first requests go out the day we switch it on, so reviews typically start landing within the first week. The bigger jump comes from the past-customer reactivation campaign, where we work back through people you've already served.

Will this annoy my customers?

One text, and at most one reminder. If they leave the review, the follow-up never sends. There's no third message. Your customer relationship matters more to us than one extra review.

What if I get a bad review?

You'll get one eventually — every real business does, and a profile with nothing but five stars reads as fake. We reply to it properly and professionally, and the volume of genuine reviews around it does the rest. A 4.8 across 300 reviews beats a 5.0 across 12 every time.

Are you locking me into a contract?

No. Month to month, cancel whenever. The profile, the reviews and the customer data are yours — if you leave, none of it comes with us.
