You do good work. Almost nobody hears about it.
You finish the job, the customer is happy, and then you both move on. Three weeks later somebody searching for a roofer sees the guy with forty reviews instead of you. Not because he’s better. Because he asked and you didn’t.
How it works
- 01
The job closes
You mark it done, or it fires off the invoice. Nothing for you to remember and nothing else to open.
- 02
Two hours later, a text goes out
Not the second you pull out of the driveway. Two hours is after the relief has set in and before the day is gone.
- 03
One tap to Google, and a line to you
The same message goes to every customer. One tap straight to your Google page, no searching and no hunting for a login, and in the same text a line that says tell me if something wasn’t right. Nobody gets screened first. The tools that sort people first are breaking Google’s rules with your profile, not theirs.
- 04
Two reminders over three weeks, then it stops
Permanently. Every contractor has been nagged by software and hated it, so this one quits on its own.
This is the part of “near me” you can actually move.
Somebody types “plumber near me” with water coming through the ceiling. The block of results with the map on it is ranked mostly on three things: how close you are to them, how many reviews you have, and how complete your Google profile is.
You can’t move your address. You can move the other two.
Count and recency both matter
Google leans on recent reviews more than old ones, so a steady trickle every month beats fifty reviews from 2021.
It’s the cheapest lead source you have
You already did the work. Getting credit for it costs you nothing extra, and it keeps paying for years.
Your profile gets filled out too
Categories, service area, hours, photos, and the services list almost everybody leaves blank. That’s part of the same monthly.
It works in Spanish
The request goes out in the customer’s language and the thread continues in whichever one they write back in.
What I won’t tell you is that this puts you at the top. I can’t promise that, and anybody who does is either guessing or counting on you not to check. Here’s the rest of what I do about getting found →
It’s not sold separately.
Review Rescue is one of the eight things in the monthly, along with the website, the missed-call text back, the follow-up, and the rest. There’s one price and this is part of it.
Questions I get asked.
How do I get more Google reviews for my business?
Ask every customer, the same way, right after the job, and make it one tap instead of a search. That’s all Review Rescue does. It sends the text automatically when you close a job, so whether you get asked stops depending on whether you remembered.
Why do reviews matter more than my website design?
The map results that show up for “roofer near me” are ranked mostly on how close you are to the person searching, how many reviews you have, and how complete your Google profile is. Reviews are the only one of those three you can actually move.
What happens if the customer is unhappy?
He gets the same message everybody gets, and it has a line in it that says tell me if something wasn’t right. If he uses it you get a notification and you can fix it that day, in a text thread, before he decides to write anything public. He can still leave a review whenever he wants. That’s his to decide, not mine and not yours.
Does this filter out the bad reviews?
No, and the ones that do are breaking Google’s rules. Google says you don’t get to pick who you ask, and when it catches someone the reviews come off your profile, not off the company that sold you the software. Everybody gets the same message here. You’ll probably end up with more reviews than a filtered tool would get you, because you’re asking everybody instead of a third of them. Your average might sit a tenth of a point lower. You also get to keep your profile.
How often does it text them?
Once after the job, then two reminders over about three weeks, and then it stops for good. It doesn’t nag, and anyone can reply STOP at any point.
Does it work in Spanish?
Yes. The request goes out in whichever language you have that customer marked as, and the reply thread continues in the language they write back in.
How much does Review Rescue cost?
Nothing extra. It’s one of the eight things included in $297/month, along with the website, the missed-call text back, follow-up, and the rest. There’s no separate price for it.
What if I already have a lot of reviews?
Then you’re ahead of most of your competition, and the thing worth fixing is how recent they are. Google leans on fresh reviews more than old ones, so a steady trickle beats fifty from four years ago.
Fifteen minutes. That’s the whole ask.
Tell me how your week actually goes. How the calls come in, how many you miss, and what part of it wears you out the most. I’ll tell you what it’s costing you and whether I can help. If I can’t, I’ll say so.
Rather write it down?
