System: from finished job to Google review
Connect your job software to a review request tool so finished jobs trigger a thank-you and a review request, and repeat-business reminders go out later, with a person reading anything AI writes.
Step 1. Mark the job complete
Use the job-complete or invoice-paid status in your job software as the trigger, so requests only go to customers whose job is actually done.
Step-by-step: Review requests and repeat-business emails after the job
Tools: Jobber (Core $29/mo billed annually ($49 month-to-month), checked 2026-11-01), Housecall Pro (Basic $59/mo billed annually, checked 2026-11-01), ServiceM8 (Free $0/mo (30 jobs); Starter $29/mo (50 jobs); Growing $79/mo (150 jobs); Premium $149/mo (500 jobs), checked 2026-11-03). See each listing for what's included.
Step 2. Send a thank-you and a review request
Turn on an automatic review request by text or email, sent soon after the job. Link straight to your Google review page.
