Review Management for Contractors

The best time to ask for a review is the minute the invoice turns Paid — and that’s exactly when Workly lets you send your review link in one tap. Google, Yelp, Thumbtack: whatever link you set, the customer gets it while the job is still fresh.

Two iPhones. On the contractor’s phone, Workly shows Invoice #1042 for Sarah Mitchell, $280.00, Paid · Just now, and the Request a review button is tapped: Review request sent. On Sarah’s phone, a message from Bayside Renovation lands right after her thank-you, asking for a quick review, with the review link.

Ask while the job is fresh

The leak check is done, the invoice just flipped to Paid, the customer is happy. Tap Request a review and they get your link — Google, Yelp, Thumbtack, wherever you collect reviews — before they’ve put the phone down.

Paste the review link you want to grow in Workly’s settings. From then on, every paid job ends with the same one-tap ask, and you choose which customers get it.

Workly Invoice #1042 for Sarah Mitchell, faucet replacement, $280.00, turns Paid · Just now. A Request a review button appears under it and is tapped: Review request sent, and Sarah has the review link. A settings card shows the Review link field with a Google review link pasted in once.

Ask for the details that get you found

The message nudges them to say what stood out — the job and the town. “Fixed our kitchen faucet in Austin, showed up on time” does more for your Google ranking than “great service.”

A concern in a review? Open the job, check what was signed, and call the customer from their record.

Sarah Mitchell’s phone shows the review request from Bayside Renovation, asking her to mention the job and her town. Her 5-star Google review reads: Fixed our kitchen faucet in Austin, showed up on time. The job and the town are highlighted, above a generic Great service review, with the note that these details help you get found on Google. Then her Workly client record shows the job’s signed Estimate #1038 and paid Invoice #1042 for $280.00, and Call is tapped.

The lead you don’t pay for

A Thumbtack lead costs money before you’ve said hello. A customer who found you on Google because a dozen neighbors said you show up on time costs nothing — and arrives already convinced. Workly makes the ask a habit, so the profile grows while you work.

A Thumbtack lead from Megan Foster shows a lead cost of $18.75, charged before you say hello. On the phone, Bayside Renovation’s Google profile has 11 reviews from neighbors in Austin, and each one says they showed up on time. A new customer, Laura Bennett, found Bayside on Google for $0; her first message reads: Saw your reviews, can you come Thursday? Then Workly sends the review request after paid Invoice #1042, Sarah Mitchell’s review lands on the profile, and it grows from 11 to 12 reviews.

Questions about review management

Where does the review link go?

Wherever you collect reviews. Paste your Google, Yelp or Thumbtack link once in settings; Workly sends it to the customer after they pay.

Is the review request automatic?

You send it in one tap once the invoice is Paid, so you decide which customers to ask — and when.

Should I only ask for positive feedback?

Ask every happy customer, and ask for honest feedback. Specific comments beat steering people to a star rating — and they’re what the next customer actually reads.

Finish the job, get paid, ask for the review — in that order, in the same app.
