Review engine for local businesses
Reviews decide who gets the call before you ever get a chance to talk. This asks every customer for one at the moment they are happiest, automatically, so your stars start matching your work.
The problem
Great work that nobody can see
Before a homeowner calls anyone, they compare. Two companies side by side on Google, one with a long trail of recent stars and one with a handful from years ago. They call the first one. Not because the work is better. Because the proof is visible. Every job you finish without a review is proof that evaporated.
Your customers are not against reviewing you. Most of them would, gladly, if it were easy and they were asked at the right time. But they get busy, the moment passes, and by dinnertime the intention is gone. And asking face to face in the driveway feels like fishing for a compliment, so most owners just do not.
Meanwhile the competitor stacking reviews is usually not doing better work. They just have a system that asks every single customer, every single time. That is the whole trick, and it is not a trick.
How it works
The ask goes out while the job is still fresh
No spreadsheet of who to nag. It runs off the jobs you already finish.
- 1
The job wraps up
You mark the job done or the invoice gets paid. That is the trigger. Nothing extra to remember.
- 2
The request goes out
A short text in your voice: thanks for the business, would you leave us a review? One tap on the link.
- 3
The link lands on Google
It opens your review box directly. No hunting for your listing, no login maze, no reason to quit halfway.
- 4
You see it and reply
New reviews show up in your notifications, and you can respond from one place instead of digging through Google.
What you get
Asking done for you, plainly
- A 20-review launch sprint at onboarding. In the first weeks we push through your existing customer list to build momentum toward 20 reviews on your profile. That is the sprint's target, not a guarantee, since customers decide whether to leave one.
- An automatic ask after every job. Triggered by the work finishing, not by you remembering to send something.
- Your wording, approved before launch. The message sounds like your shop, and you sign off on it before the first one goes out.
- A direct link to your review box. The customer goes from text to stars in a couple of taps, which is why they actually finish.
- One polite follow-up, then silence. If they were busy, a single nudge a few days later. Nobody gets pestered.
- Every review in front of you. You get notified and can reply to each one, good or rough, from the same inbox as the rest of your messages. On Scale, AI drafts and posts the responses for you.

Review engine questions
Can you guarantee a certain number of reviews?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Customers decide whether to review you; we make sure every one of them gets asked at the right moment with zero friction. Ask consistently and the trail builds. That is an honest promise, and it is the only one we will make.
Is asking for reviews against Google's rules?
Asking real customers for honest reviews is allowed and normal. Buying reviews, faking them, or posting them yourself is not, and we will never touch any of that. Everything the engine sends goes to a real customer about a real job.
What if someone leaves a bad review?
You find out fast, which is the part that matters. We do not block or filter negative reviews, because gating is against Google's policies and it shows. A prompt, calm reply from the owner often reads better to the next customer than a wall of untouched five-star ratings.
When does the request actually go out?
You pick the trigger: job marked complete, invoice paid, or a set delay after either. One note on timing: automated texts cannot start until your business texting registration (A2P) is approved by the carriers. We handle that registration during your build.
What does the message say?
Something short and human, written to sound like you: thanks for having us out, if we did right by you a review would mean a lot, here is the link. You approve the exact wording before launch and can change it whenever you want.
