How This Automation Works
Job Marked Complete → Google Review Request Sent
Monitor Project Completion Status
The system continuously monitors your project management tool or CRM for painting jobs marked as complete. This includes final inspections passed, customer sign-offs received, or invoices marked as finalized—whatever completion criteria your business uses.
Validate Customer Contact Information
Once completion is detected, the system verifies that valid customer email addresses and/or phone numbers are available. It checks data formatting, removes duplicate contacts, and ensures compliance with communication preferences the customer has set.
Generate Personalized Review Request
A customized message is created using the customer's name, project details, completion date, and specific services performed. The message includes a direct link to your Google Business Profile review page and clear, simple instructions for leaving feedback.
Send Multi-Channel Communication
The review request is delivered via the customer's preferred channel (email, SMS, or both). Email messages include visual elements like project photos, while SMS messages contain shortened links for easy mobile access. Timing is optimized for maximum open rates.
Schedule Follow-Up Reminders
If no review is received within a preset timeframe (typically 5-7 days), a gentle reminder is automatically sent. The system tracks which customers have already left reviews to avoid duplicate requests and maintains a professional, non-pushy approach.
Log Response and Update Records
All review request activities, response rates, and actual reviews received are logged in your customer database. This creates valuable analytics on which customers are most likely to leave reviews and helps refine your approach over time.
How It Works
Transform your painting business's online presence with automated review collection. This system monitors job completion status and instantly triggers personalized Google review requests to clients while their positive experience is fresh. By eliminating manual follow-up and timing delays, you'll capture more authentic reviews, improve your local search rankings, and attract higher-quality painting leads. The automation handles everything from detection of completed projects to crafting customer-specific messages with direct review links, ensuring no satisfied customer slips through the cracks. Perfect for residential painters, commercial contractors, and specialty finishing businesses looking to build trust and dominate local search results.
The Trigger
When a painting project status changes to 'completed' in your project management system, the process immediately activates. This trigger captures the exact moment when work is finished, quality checks are done, and the customer is most satisfied with the results—the optimal time for review requests.
The Action
A personalized email or SMS is automatically dispatched to the customer containing a direct link to your Google Business Profile review page. The message references their specific project details, thanks them for their business, and makes leaving a review effortless with a single-click process. Follow-up reminders are scheduled if no review is received within a specified timeframe.
