Reputation Management
Build the 5-star reputation that wins jobs before you even pick up the phone.
When a homeowner searches for a contractor, they read reviews before calling. A business with 12 reviews and a 3.8-star rating loses to a competitor with 85 reviews and a 4.7-star rating almost every time—even if you do better work. We automate your review collection so your reputation speaks for itself and feeds directly into AI search engine recommendations.
The Problem with Online Reviews
Happy customers rarely leave reviews unless you make it incredibly easy and ask them at the exact right moment. But angry customers? They will go out of their way to ruin your online reputation. If you don't have a proactive system to generate positive reviews, your rating will slowly bleed out from a few unreasonable complaints.
Furthermore, reviews are a direct ranking factor in Google Maps and a massive trust signal for AI search engines like ChatGPT. If your review count is stagnant, or your rating is below 4.0, Google won't put you in the Local Pack, and AI won't recommend you as the best contractor in your city.
Relying on your technicians to manually ask for reviews is not a strategy. You need an automated system that consistently captures 5-star feedback without adding extra work to your plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get more Google reviews without it feeling pushy or fake?
We automate polite, perfectly timed SMS and email requests right after a job is completed, when the customer is happiest. It doesn't feel pushy because we make it incredibly easy for them to click one link and leave a star rating. It is a natural part of your customer service follow-up.
What do you do when a customer leaves a bad review?
We monitor and respond to all reviews on your behalf. If a negative review comes in, we craft a professional response to de-escalate the situation and show future customers that you genuinely care about their experience. At the same time, our automated system works to quickly bury that feedback under a steady stream of fresh 5-star reviews.
How many reviews does a contractor actually need to compete?
It depends entirely on your local market, but the general rule is you need to have a higher quantity and a better average rating than your top 3 competitors. If the top competitor has 100 reviews, your goal is 101.
Does reputation management affect my Google Maps ranking?
Yes, massively. Review quantity, review velocity (how consistently you get them), and the keywords customers use in their reviews are some of the strongest ranking factors for the Google Local Pack.
Can you remove negative reviews?
While no one can simply delete a legitimate negative review, we can help flag and dispute fake or malicious reviews that violate Google's terms of service. For everything else, we respond professionally on your behalf and rapidly dilute the negative rating by consistently generating new 5-star reviews from your happy customers.
How does the automated review request process work?
We integrate directly with your CRM. When your crew marks a job as 'Complete' or 'Paid', our system waits a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 2 hours) and automatically sends the review request sequence via text and email.
What platforms do you manage reviews on beyond Google?
While Google is the absolute most important for local SEO, we can also direct customers to Facebook, Yelp, Better Business Bureau, or industry-specific sites depending on your strategy.
How long before I start seeing more reviews come in?
Most clients see their first new reviews within 48 hours of turning the system on, as we can also run a 'reactivation' campaign to past customers who loved your work but never got around to leaving a review.
