    REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

    Fresh reviews. Every week.

    Happy customers rarely leave reviews on their own. We set up a review request after every paid job and reply to every review, so your Google profile stays fresh and your next customer trusts you before the first call.

    Your best reviews are getting old.

    You have great reviews. The newest one is from last spring.

    Customers notice. 74% of consumers look for reviews written in the last three months, and 32% want reviews from the last two weeks (BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026). Old reviews read like a business no longer working.

    The problem isn't your work. Happy customers mean to leave a review and forget. And when a bad review lands, the review sits unanswered because you were on a job.

    Good work shouldn't hide behind stale reviews.

    What is reputation management for a small business?

    Reputation management for a small business is the ongoing work of earning fresh, honest reviews and replying to every one. The system sends a review request to every customer after each job, makes leaving a review one tap, alerts the owner to new reviews, and posts thoughtful replies, so the business's rating, review count and recency keep improving.

    Your reputation, on autopilot

    1. Review request after every paid job.

    A text with a one-tap link to your Google review page, plus one friendly reminder.

    2. Every customer gets asked.

    No filtering, no gating.

    Leads to: Honest reviews Google and the law both accept.

    • You decide what's next. More trucks. A bigger crew. A day off.

    Questions owners ask

    What is reputation management for a small business?

    Reputation management is earning fresh, honest reviews and replying to every one. A good system asks every customer for a review after each job and alerts you to new reviews so nothing goes unanswered.

    How do I get more Google reviews?

    Ask every customer right after the job, by text, with a one-tap link to your Google review page. Send one reminder a few days later. Make asking a habit, not a once-a-year push.

    Is a discount for reviews allowed?

    No. Google prohibits incentivized reviews, and the FTC's rule on fake reviews bans buying positive reviews. Ask honestly and let customers decide.

    Is asking only happy customers allowed?

    No. Filtering who gets asked, called review gating, goes against Google's policies. Ask everyone, and handle unhappy customers with care.

    Should I reply to bad reviews?

    Yes. A calm, helpful reply shows future customers how you handle problems. Keep the reply short, thank them, take the details offline and fix the problem where possible.

    What does reputation management cost?

    Cost depends on review volume and whether we write your replies. We share pricing on your free systems call.
