Review & Reputation Management
Turn happy customers into your most effective marketing channel
Chillead's review & reputation management is included in every plan starting at $49/month with no per-user fees.
88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. But most service businesses leave their review strategy to chance - hoping satisfied customers will take the initiative. They rarely do. Chillead automates the entire process: request reviews at the perfect moment (right after a successful job), route happy customers to Google, catch unhappy customers privately before they post a negative review, and monitor your reputation from a single dashboard.
What review & reputation management gives your business
Perfectly Timed Review Requests
Automated SMS and email requests fire within 1 hour of job completion - when the customer is happiest with your work. No manual 'Hey, can you leave us a review?' conversations.
Smart Review Routing
Customers click the review link and see a simple satisfaction question first. Happy customers (4-5 stars) are directed to Google or Yelp. Unhappy customers (1-3 stars) are routed to a private feedback form so you can resolve the issue before it becomes a public review.
Centralized Review Dashboard
Monitor your Google, Yelp, and Facebook reviews from one dashboard in Chillead. Reply to Google reviews directly without switching to your Google Business Profile.
Review Website Widgets
Embed a dynamic feed of your latest five-star reviews directly on your company website. Social proof on your homepage converts visitors into callers.
Competitor Review Tracking
Monitor competitor review counts and ratings. See how your reputation compares to the other HVAC/plumbing/electrical companies in your market.
Team Performance by Reviews
Track review scores by technician. See which techs consistently earn five-star reviews and which ones need coaching on customer interaction.

Why Timing Is Everything in Review Generation
The biggest variable in review generation isn't the ask - it's the timing. Ask too early and the customer hasn't experienced the result yet. Ask too late and their emotional peak has passed.
The sweet spot for service businesses is 1-4 hours after job completion. The problem is solved, the tech did great work, and the customer is in a positive emotional state. This is when they're most likely to follow through on a review request.
Chillead triggers review requests automatically based on job completion events. The moment your tech marks a job complete, a timer starts. One hour later, the customer receives a branded text message with a one-tap link to leave feedback. No human intervention. No forgotten follow-ups.
Catch Negative Experiences Before They Become Negative Reviews
A negative Google review costs an average service business $2,000-$5,000 in lost revenue. But most negative experiences don't have to become negative reviews - they just need to be addressed.
Chillead's smart review routing uses a simple pre-screen: before directing a customer to Google, it asks 'How was your experience?' Customers who select 4-5 stars are directed to leave a public review. Customers who select 1-3 stars are routed to a private feedback form that goes directly to your inbox.
This gives you the opportunity to call the customer, address their concern, and often resolve the issue - turning a potential one-star review into a retained customer. The happy customers still go to Google. The unhappy ones get personal attention.
What the competition cannot match
Standalone reputation tools like Birdeye cost $300+/month and aren't connected to your dispatch or job management. Jobber and HouseCall Pro have basic review requests but no smart routing or competitor tracking. Chillead builds reputation management directly into the natural field workflow - no extra tools, no extra cost.
Common questions about Review & Reputation Management
Does it integrate with Google Business Profile?
Yes. Connect your Google Business Profile to monitor reviews, reply to them directly from Chillead, and track your rating over time.
Can I customize the review request message?
Yes. Personalize the SMS and email templates with your brand voice, tech name, and service details. Templates support dynamic fields for automatic personalization.
What is review gating?
Review gating is a pre-screening step where customers indicate their satisfaction level before being directed to a public review site. Happy customers go to Google. Unhappy customers go to private feedback. This lets you address issues before they become public.
Can I track reviews by technician?
Yes. Review scores are linked to the tech who completed the job. See which techs consistently earn five-star ratings and which ones need coaching on customer communication.
