Automatic review requests from Skimmer job completion
Reviewflowz monitors your Skimmer account for completed jobs, passed inspections, and paid invoices, then automatically sends review requests to homeowners via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. You configure the trigger once (job completion, final inspection, or payment received) and select your preferred channel. From that point forward, every single customer gets asked for a review without any manual work from your office staff or technicians. Most Reviewflowz customers see a 7.5% average conversion rate, meaning 7-8 reviews for every 100 completed jobs.
Identify your best customers from Skimmer job data
When homeowners leave 5-star reviews, that feedback gets attached directly to their job record in Skimmer, flagging your happiest customers for future opportunities. Your crew leads and project managers can instantly see which clients are your biggest advocates. Use this data to request video testimonials for your website, ask for referrals to neighbors, or develop case studies for future estimates. Instead of guessing which customers might help your business grow, you have concrete proof of satisfaction tied to specific jobs and locations.
Track reviews by Skimmer technician without name mentions
Reviews that specifically mention technician names often get flagged by Google as potentially fake, plus customers forget names or spell them wrong. Reviewflowz solves this by connecting directly to your Skimmer data to see which technician handled each job. When reviews come in, they're automatically attributed to the right person based on job assignments, not customer mentions. Your reviews read naturally, avoid Google's spam filters, and you still get detailed performance data for individual technicians, crew leads, and installers for coaching and recognition programs.

Calculate review conversion rates from Skimmer job volume
Raw review counts mislead contractors about their real performance. A company with 100 reviews from 2,000 completed jobs (5% conversion) is losing to a competitor with 60 reviews from 400 jobs (15% conversion). Because Reviewflowz connects to Skimmer, it knows exactly how many jobs you completed each month, giving you the metric that actually matters: reviews divided by job volume. Track conversion rates by technician, service type, geographic area, and time period to identify what drives customer satisfaction and where you're missing opportunities.
AI review replies for contractors across 200+ platforms
Responding to reviews improves your Google ranking and builds trust with potential customers, but technicians don't have time to reply to every review across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Yelp, and dozens of other platforms. Reviewflowz uses AI to generate professional responses that match your brand voice across 200+ review sites. The AI understands contractor-specific language and situations (project delays, weather issues, material costs) to create appropriate replies. You can review responses before they publish or set them to post automatically for maximum efficiency.
