Google review automation for service businesses worldwide

More 5-star Google reviews. Without chasing a single customer.

We ask every customer for a review automatically after each job and reply to your 4- and 5-star reviews for you. Anything 3 stars or below goes to a real person, so the problem gets fixed and your SOPs get better.

How it works

Ask every time. Reply every time. Automate almost all of it.

Most happy customers never think to leave a review. They're not being rude, just busy. A system that asks at the right moment, every time, turns good work into a steady stream of reviews.

Ask after every job

As soon as a job is complete, the customer gets a short text or email with a direct link to your Google review page, then one gentle reminder. Every customer, not just the ones you think loved you.

Auto-reply to 4 and 5 stars

Happy customers get a warm, personal-sounding thank-you that uses their name and mentions the job, not the same copy-paste line on every review.

A real person handles 3 stars and below

Lower ratings are never auto-replied. They're flagged straight to a person who reads the review, looks into the job and writes a genuine, specific response.

Fix the problem and update SOPs

Sort it out with the customer offline, then change the checklist or process that let it happen, so the same issue doesn't come up on the next job.

Why reviews matter

Your work is good. Google just doesn't know about it yet.

Show up in local search

Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, and that review count and rating feed into prominence. You can't change your distance from a customer. You can change your reviews.

Win the call before it happens

Prospects compare star ratings, review counts and how recently people reviewed you. Fresh reviews show you're busy, trading and still doing good work this month.

Replies sell too

Prospects read what you said back. A business that thanks people and handles complaints fairly comes across as one that cares. Google recommends responding to reviews.

Done by the rules

Every customer is asked, with no incentives and no filtering out unhappy customers before they can review, in line with Google's review policies.
