Why it goes wrong

Why Good Work Does Not Turn Into Reviews

Most shops earn far more happy customers than reviews, because asking is left to busy techs and bad reviews sit unanswered

You do great work and have 40 reviews

The company down the road has 400 and gets the call, even when their work is worse

Asking is left to the techs

Some ask, most forget, and the ones who ask do it at the wrong moment

Bad reviews sit unanswered

One unanswered complaint does more damage than ten good reviews fix

Enough to keep growing faster than your competitors. In most markets that is several a week, which is achievable when every job asks.

They get answered properly, and new reviews push them down. A handled complaint often reads better than a perfect record.

Usually yes. We connect through your CRM or field app so the request fires when the job is marked complete.
