Automated Review Generation

Every completed job turns into a Google review ask, automatically.

The problem

Reviews win jobs. Most shops ask for them after it's too late.

Google reviews are the single biggest conversion driver for home services searches. A shop with 80+ 4.5-star reviews outperforms a shop with 20 reviews by 3–5x on booked jobs from organic search.

Yet most shops ask for reviews inconsistently — when someone remembers to ask, often days or weeks after the job is done. By then, the customer has moved on. The review never happens.

An AI review agent asks at the moment of peak customer happiness (right after job completion), makes it one tap to leave the review, and handles the 5-star flow vs. the "needs work" flow differently.

The playbook

The five-step review workflow, step by step.

Each step shows what the agent does autonomously and what your team sees on their end. Human approval gates are marked.

01

Agent detects job close from FSM

Job completion
Agent does

Job gets marked complete in your field service management system. Agent triggers the review flow automatically.

Your team sees

Nothing for the tech or office to remember.

02

Agent sends a warm review request

Same-day ask
Agent does

Personalized text: "Hey Jordan — thanks for having us out today. How did we do?" With a simple thumbs-up/thumbs-down.

Your team sees

Customer decides in 5 seconds. No friction.

03a

5-star: direct Google link

Happy path
Agent does

Tap "great" → one-click to your Google Business Profile review page. Pre-filled. One more tap and the review is live.

Your team sees

Google reviews accumulate without anyone lifting a finger.

03b

Not happy: private recovery

Approval gate Unhappy path
Agent does

Tap "needs work" → routes to a private form that notifies your manager. NOT to Google.

Your team sees

Bad experiences become recovery opportunities, not public ratings.

04

Agent alerts manager + drafts response

Approval gate Private recovery
Agent does

Manager gets the issue + context + a drafted outreach within 15 minutes.

Your team sees

You save the relationship before the customer vents publicly somewhere else.

05

Agent nudges non-responders lightly

Follow-up nudge
Agent does

If the customer didn't respond to the first ask, one gentle reminder 3 days later.

Your team sees

Final review rate ends up 60–70% per job, vs. industry average under 10%.
