System 5 of 7 · Google Review Engine

Your star rating stops depending on you remembering to ask

Every finished job triggers a review request in your voice. Happy customers get walked straight to Google. Unhappy ones reach you first, privately — while it's still a conversation and not a one-star post.

Happy customers land on Google. Unhappy ones reach you first — privately, while you can still fix it.

What you actually get

Google Review Engine, in detail

Asks after every finished job

Triggered the moment you mark the job complete. No sticky notes, no remembering, no awkward ask on the driveway.

One tap to Google

A happy customer taps five stars and lands directly on your Google review page, already signed in on their phone. The fewer taps between the feeling and the post, the more posts you get.

Unhappy ones reach you first

A low rating opens a private feedback form and pings you immediately, so you hear it before the internet does and get the chance to fix it.

Reminds, then stops

A few spaced reminders, then it lets go. Persistent enough to work, finite enough that nobody gets pestered on your behalf.

Straight answers

Fair questions about the Google Review Engine

If the answer here puts you off, better now than after you've paid.

What happens when someone's unhappy?

They land on a private feedback form instead of a review box, and you get told straight away with what they said. You get to make it right while it's still fixable. Nothing stops them posting publicly if they want to — you just hear about it first, which is usually the difference between a fixed job and a one-star review.

How fast does a rating actually move?

That depends on your job volume, and anyone quoting you a number doesn't know your business. What we control is that every completed job gets asked, in your voice, automatically. Ask a hundred happy customers instead of none and the arithmetic takes care of itself.
