from better reviews pays for years of it
Google decides who gets called. Reviews are how you get to the top of that list.
When someone searches "plumber near me" or "landscaper in [town]", Google shows a map with a shortlist of local businesses - usually just three. This is called the local pack, and it sits above everything else on the page. Most people never scroll past it.
Your Google Business Profile is your entry in that list - your name, number, star rating, and reviews. Google decides who appears in the top three using three factors: distance, relevance, and prominence.
Prominence is where reviews come in. Google's own guidance states that review count and recency directly influence your local ranking. The more reviews you have, and the more recent they are, the higher you rank. Your website, your years in business, your actual quality of work - none of that matters to Google if your review count is thin.
A business with 45 reviews at 4.7 stars will rank above one with 6 reviews at 5.0 stars. Google trusts volume.
Reviews from two years ago carry less weight than recent ones. Google wants to see that customers are still happy now. A steady stream of new reviews is more powerful than a one-off burst.
If you're not in the local pack, you're largely invisible to new customers searching Google. Reviews are the most controllable way to get there and stay there.
You finish a job. The customer is delighted. You never hear from them again on Google.
They meant to leave a review. They probably said they would. But they got home, got busy, and it slipped their mind. That's not their fault - it's just how it works. Without a prompt, most people don't follow through.
Meanwhile, the business two streets over - you know the one - has somehow accumulated 60 reviews on Google. He's in the top three results. He's getting the calls. Not because he does better work than you. Because he asks.
- ✕A competitor with more reviews ranks above you - even if their work isn't as good
- ✕Happy customers mean to leave a review but forget within days
- ✕Asking face-to-face at the end of a job feels uncomfortable and rarely works
- ✕Without a system, it never gets done consistently
Most tradespeople already rely on word of mouth. Reviews are word of mouth that never disappears.
When a happy customer tells a neighbour about you, that's one person who might call. When that same customer leaves a Google review, it works for you permanently - visible to thousands, boosting your ranking, building trust with every new person who finds you.
Word of mouth
Powerful but passive. You can't control it, predict it, or scale it. One happy customer tells one person. Or none.
Checkatrade / MyBuilder
Good for leads but you pay per lead or per month, compete on price, and build their platform - not yours.
Paid ads
Works while you're paying. Stop paying, stop getting calls. No compounding effect. High cost per click in trades.
Google reviews
Each review is permanent. They compound - 5 a month becomes 60 a year. They improve your ranking and they cost nothing per lead. The more you have, the more you get.
Reviews Chaser is the system that turns every completed job into a permanent, public recommendation on Google - automatically, without you having to remember to ask.

Over time, your Google listing grows. Your ranking improves. New customers find you before they find your competitors. And it all started with a single email you didn't even have to write yourself.
- ✓Every customer gets asked, every time - no exceptions, no forgetting
- ✓Email arrives at the right time - not too soon, not too late
- ✓One tap takes them straight to your Google review page

Common questions
Word of mouth is great but it's uncontrollable - you can't predict it or scale it. Checkatrade works but you're paying per lead and competing on their platform, not building your own reputation. Google reviews compound differently: each one improves your ranking, stays there permanently, and works for you while you sleep. Five reviews a month is 60 a year. In two years you have 120 reviews and you're untouchable in local search. No other marketing channel does that.
A Google Business Profile is the free listing that appears when someone searches for your business - or businesses like yours - on Google or Google Maps. It shows your name, phone number, opening hours, photos, and most importantly, your customer reviews. You do need one for Reviews Chaser to work. If you haven't set yours up yet, it takes about 10 minutes at business.google.com and is completely free.
Yes - because timing and simplicity matter. A personal email arriving a day after a completed job, from a business name the customer recognises, with one button to tap, converts far better than a QR code on a receipt or a verbal ask at the door. Most customers are happy to leave a review. They just need the nudge at the right moment.
Yes. You write the message in your own voice - Reviews Chaser just handles the sending, timing, and tracking. You can personalise it by customer name and job reference too.
No - because the email comes from your business name, references their specific job, and is sent at a sensible time after completion. It reads like a genuine follow-up, not a bulk mail.
None at all. If you can copy and paste a link and send an email, you can use Reviews Chaser. Setup takes a few minutes.
Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. Cancel any time from your dashboard and you won't be charged again.
Yes - 14 days for just £1 on either plan. Your subscription then continues automatically at the plan price. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
Each subscription is for a single user. If you have multiple people sending review requests, each person needs their own subscription. Need multi-user access? Get in touch and we'll put together a plan that works for your team.
Your next review is already out there. Your customer just needs asking.
