What if customers leave negative feedback? Won't that hurt our online reputation?

The sentiment analysis routes negative feedback privately to management before customers are directed to public review platforms. This gives you the opportunity to address concerns and resolve issues first. Studies show that properly handled complaints convert 70% of dissatisfied customers into satisfied ones, often resulting in positive reviews after resolution.

How does the system prevent review request fatigue or violating platform policies?

The automation includes built-in throttling to ensure customers receive only one review request per project, with appropriate delays between messages. All requests comply with Google, Facebook, and FTC guidelines—never incentivizing positive reviews specifically, only requesting honest feedback. The system also respects opt-out requests permanently.

Can this integrate with our existing CRM and job management software?

Yes, the workflow connects via API or webhooks to major FSM platforms like Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and FieldEdge, as well as CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot. Implementation typically requires only configuring the trigger events and mapping customer data fields—no custom development needed for standard platforms.

What happens if a customer responds with a medium rating like 3 stars?

Three-star ratings trigger a hybrid response: immediate notification to the project manager for potential follow-up, plus a request asking what could have made the experience better. Based on the response, management can intervene personally. These customers are not automatically directed to public review sites until concerns are addressed.

How do we motivate customers to actually complete reviews on Google or Facebook?

The system makes reviewing effortless with pre-populated review templates, direct links that require minimal clicks, and clear value proposition messaging about helping other homeowners. Some contractors include small thank-you gestures (delivered regardless of review content) for feedback participation, which is compliant when not conditional on positive reviews.

Can we track which reviews are generating actual new business?

Yes, the analytics dashboard tracks review volume, ratings trends, and platform performance. When integrated with your CRM, you can tag new leads that mention reviews or specific testimonials, quantifying the revenue impact. Most painting contractors see clear correlation between review volume spikes and increased inbound lead generation within 2-3 weeks.

What if crew performance varies significantly? Will this expose weak performers?

Yes, and that's a feature, not a bug. The reporting breaks down satisfaction scores by crew lead, project type, and service area. This data-driven insight enables targeted coaching, recognition of top performers, and objective performance management. Most contractors find this transparency drives healthy competition and overall quality improvements across all teams.
