Review management for contractors
Review management for contractors is the ongoing work of asking every customer for a Google review, replying to the reviews that come in, and keeping your Google Business Profile active. We run it for home service contractors every month: a review campaign to your past customers, then a text and an email after every completed job, and replies to your new Google reviews.

- Month to month.
- No contract.
- Cancel any month.
The short answer
- Review management covers three ongoing jobs: asking every customer for a Google review, answering the reviews that come in, and keeping your Google Business Profile active.
- Google says “More reviews and positive ratings can help your business’s local ranking.” It also says “There’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google.”
- Google’s review rules give two examples that name staff directly: no review quotas for techs, and no asking techs to get reviews that name them. Google also removes reviews based on a conflict of interest, which may include current or former employment.
- Google removes a review only when it breaks Google’s policies. On every other bad review, the reply is the part you control.
- With us, setup takes about 5 to 10 minutes. After that we send the review requests, reply to your new Google reviews and send a progress report every two weeks.

Review generation vs. review management vs. reputation management
Here is how we use these three terms, and which part of each we run, so you can hold any offer up against the same rows.
| Term | What it covers | What we run for you |
|---|---|---|
| Review generation | Getting new reviews: asking customers, after the job, for an honest Google review with a direct link. | A review campaign to your past customers first. From then on, every completed job triggers a text and an email asking for a Google review. |
| Review management | Review generation, plus replying to new reviews, keeping your Google Business Profile active and reporting on what changed. | Replies to your new Google reviews. Posts, offers, updates, photos and videos on your profile. A Day 1 snapshot and a progress report every two weeks. |
| Reputation management | The widest of the three: everything that shapes what a customer finds when they look you up. | The parts in our plan: your profile updates also go to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, and we track how you show up in AI search. |
Google ranking
Why reviews matter for a contractor on Google
Google says its local results “are mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity.” Reviews sit inside the third one, which the same page explains under the heading Prominence. Google describes prominence as “how well-known a business is,” based on info like “how many websites link to your business and how many reviews you have,” and adds: “More reviews and positive ratings can help your business’s local ranking.”
The same Google page puts replies on the list: “Positive reviews and helpful replies can help your business stand out.”
Distance “refers to how far each business is from the customer who’s searching,” and your shop’s address does not move. A steady flow of new reviews and replies is something you can work on every week.
And nobody can buy the top spot. Google is direct about it: “There’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google.” Be careful with anyone who promises you a specific spot.
The same goes for AI search. Nobody can force an AI tool to recommend a business, no matter who says they can. We work to get you showing up in AI search results, and we track how you show up. More on that in how contractors show up in ChatGPT.

How it works
Who does what: your crew, your office and us
We split the work so the ask never sits with the tech on the job.
Your office
- Fills out our intake form.
- Connects your Google Business Profile one time.
- Shares your customer list.
- All of it takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
Us
- A review campaign to your past customers to start.
- A text and an email asking for a Google review after every completed job, with a direct link.
- Replies to your new Google reviews.
- Posts, offers, updates, photos and videos on your Google Business Profile.
- A Day 1 snapshot, a progress report every two weeks and a monthly report with a ranking heatmap.
Because the request goes out by text and email after every completed job, every customer gets the same ask, whichever tech did the work. The profile side is covered in Google Business Profile management for contractors.
Google’s rules
Google’s review rules for your staff
Google’s Maps content policy files its rules on asking for reviews under rating manipulation, and part of it names staff directly. Google says incentivized or biased reviews “are not allowed and will be removed from Maps.” Read these before you set up a review contest for your techs.
Not allowed
- Pressure in person, or asking for specific content. When asking for reviews, merchants “should not require or pressure users to leave ratings or write reviews while on the premises, nor should they request that specific content be included.” Google gives two staff examples of this rule:
- Review quotas for techs. “Merchants requesting that staff solicit a certain number of reviews.”
- Telling techs to get reviews that name them. “Merchants requesting that staff solicit reviews that include specific content, including content that identifies a staff member.”
- Reviews from your own people. Separately, Google lists content “based on a conflict of interest” among the reviews it removes, and says a conflict of interest “may include current or former employment” and family relationships.
Allowed
- An honest ask. Merchants may “solicit or encourage the posting of content that does represent a genuine experience, without offering incentives to do so or attempting to influence the rating or the contents of the review.”
- A direct link. Google says you “can ask customers to visit a Google link or scan a QR code.”
Rewards for reviews and asking only your happy customers are against the rules too. The full list is in what Google does not allow when you ask for reviews.

Negative reviews
When a contractor gets a bad review
One rough job can turn into a one-star review. Google will only remove it if it breaks Google’s policies, and it says plainly: “Do not report a review just because you disagree with it or dislike it.” So the reply matters more than the report.
Check it against Google’s policies
Fake, off-topic or conflict-of-interest reviews break Google’s policies and can be reported. A review you simply disagree with is not eligible for removal.
Reply in public, calmly
Google’s own tips: protect privacy and avoid personal attacks, be honest and explain limitations, apologize when appropriate, and if the situation is complex, politely ask the reviewer to contact you by phone or email.
Follow up on the problem
Google notes that “Providing constructive replies and following up on concerns can show that you care and may even encourage the customer to update their review.”
Keep asking every customer
Google says “A mix of positive and negative feedback often feels more trustworthy.” So keep sending a review request after every completed job, to every customer, not only the ones you expect to be happy. With us, a text and an email asking for a Google review go out after every completed job.

FAQ
Review management for contractors, answered.
What is the difference between review management and reputation management?
The way we use the terms, review management is asking for Google reviews, replying to them and keeping your Google Business Profile active. Reputation management is wider: everything a customer finds when they look you up. Our plan covers the review work plus posts to six platforms and tracking how you show up in AI search.
What do my crew and office have to do?
Your office fills out our intake form, connects your Google Business Profile one time and shares your customer list, about 5 to 10 minutes in all. Your crew sends us photos and videos from jobs now and then, through an upload link. The review requests go out from us.
Can I give my techs a review target?
No. Google’s policy does not allow merchants to ask staff to collect a certain number of reviews. Asking every customer for an honest review is allowed. With us, a text and an email go out after every completed job, so no tech is chasing a number.
Can a tech ask customers to mention them by name?
No. Google’s policy does not allow merchants to ask staff to collect reviews with specific content, including content that identifies a staff member. Ask for an honest review and let the customer write what they want.
Can my employees or my family review my business?
No. Google treats reviews based on a conflict of interest, including current or former employment and family relationships, as biased reviews, which are not allowed and will be removed from Maps.
Do you need my Google password?
We never need your website login or your Google password. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and everything posted to it stay yours.
Do you work with contractors outside San Diego?
Yes. We are based in San Diego and serve contractors and home services across the United States. Every account is built and run from San Diego.
A review request after every job, handled for you.
