Homeowners Won't Call You Without Google Reviews

Homeowners hiring a contractor are nervous and risk-averse. They scroll your Google reviews before they ever call. No Google reviews = no call. Bad Google reviews = no call.

What's killing Contractors.

These come up across nearly every contractor Google profile we audit. If you nod at three or more, we should talk.

  • Crews finish a job and forget to ask for the Google review.

  • Competitors review-bombing your Google profile during peak season.

  • Subcontractor mistakes hurting your Google rating.

  • Suggested-edit attacks changing your hours, address, or category on Google.

  • No clear connection between specific crews/foremen and Google review sentiment.

Our approach

How we help Contractors.

01

Job-completion Google review requests triggered from ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, or your CRM.

02

Per-crew and per-foreman Google sentiment tracking so you can identify and coach.

03

Negative Google review removal — pay-on-success, particularly effective for competitor attacks and reviews from non-customers.

04

Google Business Profile defense — we monitor and reject bogus suggested edits before they go live.

Within 6 months we went from #11 in Google Maps to the 3-pack for our top service area. Lead volume tripled.
