Jacksonville, Florida

You do good work. Google just doesn't show it.

Most local businesses sitting on 40 reviews should have 400. Not because the work is worse — because nobody remembered to ask. We install the asking, and keep it running.

No contract · no setup fee · we never filter who gets asked
The actual problem

It isn't a review problem. It's a remembering problem.

The owner means to ask. The front desk means to ask. The customer genuinely means to leave one on the drive home. Then the day happens, and the review never gets written.

Meanwhile the shop down the road has three times your reviews and half your rating — and they show up first.

“We tried the little cards on the counter. We put up a sign. I told the team to mention it. None of it stuck.”

The most common thing we hear on a first call.
How it works

Three messages. That's the whole system.

It runs after every completed job, without anyone on your team having to remember anything.

1

A check-in

Goes out after the work is done. No request, no link — just a business checking the job landed well.

“Hi Sarah, just checking everything looks good with the work we did today.”
2

The ask

Every customer. Same message, same link. Uses their name and yours, so it reads like a person sent it — because a person did.

“If you have 30 seconds, would you mind sharing your experience in a quick Google review?”
3

One reminder

Only to people who haven't left one. Nobody gets asked twice. This is the step almost everyone skips, and it brings in a large share of the reviews.

Then we go back through your past customers

Every person you've already served is a review nobody asked for. We contact that list slowly — a few at a time, during business hours, never a blast. For most businesses this is where the first big jump comes from.

And every review gets a reply

Google favours listings whose owners respond, and anyone comparing you to the business above you notices which of you answers. Replies go out within minutes, without you touching anything.

Our one hard rule

Everybody gets asked. The same way. Every time.

Some services send happy customers to Google and quietly route unhappy ones to a private form. It's called review gating. It's against Google's policies, and it puts the reviews you already have — and your listing itself — at risk.

We don't do it. Everyone is asked the same way. It's also simply the better system: a complaint you hear the same day is a problem you still get to fix, and those customers often end up leaving the best reviews of all.

What you get

One flat monthly fee. Cancel whenever.

No setup charge, no contract, no long onboarding. If it stops being worth it, you stop.

Included every month

The three-message sequence on every completed job
The past-customer campaign, run properly and paced
Automatic replies to every review that comes in
A monthly note showing what came in and where you now rank

How to know if it's worth it

One question: what is a single new customer worth to you?

If this brings in even one a month you wouldn't otherwise have had, it has paid for itself several times over. If it doesn't, you should stop paying for it — and we'll tell you if we don't think it's a fit before you spend anything.

Start with a free audit

We'll measure your Google listing against the businesses ranking above you and send you the breakdown. No charge, no obligation, and it's yours whether or not we ever work together.
