Reviews & Reputation

Q: Do we still need to review anything before it goes out?

Draft messages and negative review responses can be set to require a quick approval before sending.

Q: Will this work with the accounting and review tools we already use?

It connects to common accounting, email, spreadsheet, and review platform tools already in use at most shops.

Q: What happens to our existing customer and review data?

Existing job records and review history stay in place and are used to personalize outreach going forward.

Q: How are negative reviews handled?

Negative reviews are flagged and routed to the owner for a personal response instead of being left unanswered.

Keep your shop's star rating climbing by turning every job into a timely, consistent review request without lifting a finger.

About This Automation

Following up on completed repair jobs to request customer reviews is a manual, repetitive task that pulls staff attention away from service work. Tracking responses and monitoring review platforms for new feedback adds further administrative burden and delays owner replies.

An automated version detects completed jobs, drafts personalized review requests, and follows up when needed. It also scans review platforms daily, drafts suggested responses, and flags negative feedback for immediate attention.

Key features:

Identifies completed service jobs automatically from job records

Drafts personalized review requests referencing the specific repair

Sends follow-up reminders when no review appears

Tracks review status without manual spreadsheet updates

Monitors review platforms daily for new feedback

Drafts suggested responses and flags negative reviews for owner attention
