Reputation·Job-Done Review System
The best time to ask for a Google review is when the customer watches you pack up and says 'legend, thanks mate'. That moment passes in an hour. We capture it automatically.
The problem
Google reviews win tradie jobs. Homeowners search 'plumber near me' and book whoever has 4.8 stars and recent reviews — not whoever did the best work six months ago.
You mean to ask. But by the time you're in the ute heading to the next job, the moment's gone. Three weeks later feels awkward.
Competitors with fewer skills but better review systems rank higher — and steal the calls you deserve.
What this looks like today
Review asks happen randomly — if you remember at all
Customers willing to help can't find your Google review link
One bad review from a miscommunication outweighs ten you never collected
Google profile stale despite hundreds of completed jobs
No tracking of who was asked or who left a review
Referrals dry up because online presence doesn't reflect your work
What we build
Every component designed for australian tradies and home service businesses — wired together, not sold separately.
Review request fires when the job is marked complete in your job system — same day, same hour.
A real appreciation message precedes the ask. Feels like a follow-up, not a marketing blast.
Direct link to your Google Business Profile. Customer taps from SMS — no searching.
One reminder at 72 hours if no review. Then the sequence stops — no pestering.
Jobs with complaints or callbacks route to internal feedback — not a public review request.
Monitor requests sent, reviews published, and average rating trend over time.
How it works
Step by step — most implementations go live in two to three weeks.
Trigger from ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus, or manual completion.
Personalised message referencing the job type and suburb.
Short ask with direct Google link — within hours of completion.
One tap from SMS to Google review page. Friction removed.
Single reminder at 72 hours. Then closed.
Review published, rating captured, job marked in the system.

More trust from new callers
A well-reviewed profile wins the call before you even quote.

Common Questions
Issue filter catches jobs flagged for rework or complaints. Those customers get internal follow-up — not a public review request.
Typically 20–35% of requests result in a published review. A tradie completing 15 jobs per week can expect 3–5 new reviews monthly — compounding over time.
Yes. Google permits asking customers for honest reviews. No incentives, no selective asking — compliant with Google's policies.
Google is primary. Platform-specific review links can be added if you rely on those channels.
Thank-you-first approach and two-touch maximum keep it genuine. Customers who just watched you fix their problem are usually happy to leave a quick review.
