When and how to ask for reviews

Ask right after the job, once the customer has tested the tap or flush and is happy. That's when they're relieved and thankful.

1. 1

   Test the work together

   Run the water, flush the toilet, or show the dry pipe. Let the customer see it's fixed.

2. 2

   Ask before you leave

   "If you're happy with the work, a Google review helps me a lot." Ask every customer.

3. 3

   Send the link while you're there

   Send your review link on WhatsApp as you take payment, so it's in their phone.

4. 4

   Never knock off money for a review

   Discounts for reviews are against Google's rules.

Whenever you ask, Google's rules apply: ask every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer anything in return for a review.

Mistakes to avoid

• Showing your home address

  If customers don't come to you, your address must be hidden. Showing it can get the profile suspended.

• Several profiles in different areas

  Making profiles at friends' addresses to show up in more areas breaks Google's rules. One profile with a service area is the right way.

• "24 hours" when you're not

  If you say 24 hours but don't pick up at midnight, expect bad reviews.
