Auto-send review requests from Service Autopilot jobs
Configure Reviewflowz to automatically send review requests via email, SMS, or WhatsApp when jobs are marked complete, inspections pass, or invoices are paid in Service Autopilot. Your customers receive professional requests directing them to Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, or other platforms you prioritize. The system runs continuously in the background, so every completed job triggers a review request without any manual work from your office staff or technicians. This eliminates the common problem of forgetting to follow up with customers while their experience is still fresh.
Track your happiest customers in Service Autopilot
When customers leave 5-star reviews on Google or other platforms, that positive feedback automatically syncs back to their Service Autopilot customer record. This creates a clear flag showing which customers are your biggest advocates. Use this data to identify the best candidates for video testimonials, referral requests, or case study opportunities. Your office team can see at a glance which customers had exceptional experiences, making it easy to nurture these relationships for future business growth and word-of-mouth marketing opportunities.
Attribute reviews to technicians without name mentions
Track which technicians generate the most positive reviews without asking customers to mention names. Since Reviewflowz connects directly to Service Autopilot's job data, it automatically knows which tech completed each project and assigns incoming reviews accordingly. This approach avoids the common issue where Google flags and removes reviews that specifically name employees. Your reviews read naturally while you still get detailed performance breakdowns for coaching conversations, bonus calculations, and identifying your top-performing field staff across all review platforms.

Calculate review conversion rate from Service Autopilot jobs
Most contractors only track total review count, but 100 reviews from 5,000 jobs (2% conversion) performs worse than 50 reviews from 400 jobs (12.5% conversion). Reviewflowz automatically pulls your completed job count from Service Autopilot to calculate your true review conversion rate. The average across all Reviewflowz customers is 7.5%, giving you a benchmark to measure against. You can filter these metrics by individual technician, time period, or location to identify what drives higher conversion rates and optimize your review collection strategy accordingly.
AI auto-replies to contractor reviews across platforms
Responding to reviews improves your local search rankings and builds trust with potential customers, but manually crafting replies across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Yelp, and other platforms consumes significant time. Reviewflowz generates professional responses using AI trained on successful contractor communication patterns. The system monitors all 200+ review platforms and creates appropriate replies for both positive and negative feedback. You can review responses before they publish or enable automatic posting to ensure every review gets acknowledged promptly while maintaining your professional brand voice.
