How To Get More Google Reviews As A Contractor
You have more happy customers than reviews. Probably far more. The problem isn't the work, it's the asking — and asking is the one part of this that can be systematised completely.

5-Star Review Funnel
Review count and recency are among the strongest signals deciding who shows up in the Google map pack — and the first thing a homeowner checks before calling. Asking for reviews manually never sticks. Automating the ask does.

You Do Good Work. Google Can't Tell.
Almost every contractor we speak to has more happy customers than reviews — often dramatically more. The work is fine; the asking is the problem. You finish the job, you're already thinking about the next one, and the moment passes. Meanwhile the competitor two towns over with worse workmanship and 140 reviews is sitting above you in the map pack, taking the calls you should be getting.
Ask At The Right Moment, Automatically
The system sends a short text a set time after the job is marked complete — long enough that they've seen the finished work, soon enough that they still remember your name. That timing matters more than the wording. One tap takes them to the review page. Nobody has to remember to ask, and nobody has to have the awkward conversation on the driveway.
The Bit That Protects Your Rating
The message first asks how the job went. If the answer's positive, they go straight through to your Google profile to leave the review. If it isn't, they land on a private feedback form that comes to you instead — so you hear about the problem while you can still fix it, rather than reading about it publicly a week later. That's not gaming the system; it's routing a complaint to the person who can actually resolve it. Everyone still gets asked, and every review that lands on Google is genuine.
Reviews Compound Into Rankings
This is the feature with the longest tail. More reviews lift your position in the map pack, which puts you in front of more people, which produces more jobs, which produces more reviews. Contractors running this consistently tend to see their review count go from a handful to three figures within a year — and the ranking movement follows it. It is the cheapest local SEO work available to you, and most of your competitors won't be doing it.

Common Questions
Questions & Answers.
We don't filter anyone — every customer gets asked. What the funnel does is route an unhappy customer to a private form first so you get the chance to put it right. Any review that ends up on Google is written by a real customer about real work, which is exactly what Google's policies require.
Usually within the first fortnight, because it starts asking every customer from day one. The compounding effect on rankings takes a few months to show up.
Yes, though we'd normally point everything at Google first — it's the platform that drives local search rankings and the one homeowners actually check. Once Google's healthy we can split traffic to other platforms.
It happens, and a perfect five-star record with hundreds of reviews looks suspicious anyway. What matters is responding well and publicly, and having enough good reviews that one bad one barely moves your average. We'll help you draft the reply.
There's a trigger, but it's usually a single tap on your phone or an automatic one when you close the job out. We set it up around how you already work rather than making you adopt a new process.
