The 10 Second Review Request That Works

Got a painter or plumber business with only a handful of Google reviews? That gap could be sending customers straight to your competitors, even when you’re the one paying for the ad click.

That habit is worth more than any ad tweak I’ll make this month.

The quick rundown

• A low review count makes customers choose a competitor even if you’re paying to show up in search.
• Reviews build trust and give your paid ads an extra lift.
• The fix takes ten seconds: ask right after the job, then text the review link before you leave.
• This simple habit can be worth more than any ad tweak you’ll make this month.
• A free checklist is available if you want the full approach laid out.
