3 reviews vs 40. Who gets the call?
Your Google profile has 3 reviews. The guy down the road has 40. He gets the call.
Most lawn guys know they need more reviews. They just never get round to asking. Then the season gets busy and it never happens.
I had the same problem at Gecko Lawns. So I built a robot to do the asking for me. I switched it on in September. 11 texts later, I had 4 new Google reviews. I didn't ask anyone.
The text your customer gets
It comes from your number, with your name on it. Nobody can tell a robot sent it.
The robot uses the same text I send at Gecko Lawns. Right now it's getting a Google review for about every 3 texts.

How it works
Start your free 30 days
No card. Pick a password and you're straight into your setup. No waiting for me to email you a login.
Add your customers
Name and mobile number. Paste them in, upload a spreadsheet, or add a few each week.
Connect your Android phone
A free app on your phone sends the texts. Step-by-step setup, and a setup call with me if you get stuck.
Turn sending on
Nothing goes out until you press the button. Then it texts one customer at 7pm on the nights you pick.
Watch the reviews come in
Your dashboard shows your review count and what happened to every text.
How it's going
Takes 2 minutes. No card needed.
My whole job: 5 customers on a Saturday
Every Saturday I sit back with a coffee and add five customers. That's it.
I never run out. I get to skip anyone I'd rather not text. And I never have to block out an afternoon to get a spreadsheet ready.
It won't annoy your customers
- One text a night. Never a blast to your whole list.
- Nobody gets asked twice in 90 days.
- It takes a break when a review lands. No flood of reviews that looks fake to Google.
- Reviewers come off the list. Tick "Reviewed" and they're never asked again.
- Anyone who replies STOP is gone. Straight away.
- Nothing after 8pm. Sunday to Thursday by default. You choose the days.

Questions
I have an iPhone. Can I use it?
Yes, with a cheap Android phone as well. Apple doesn't let any app send texts in the background, so the robot runs on a spare Android at home, plugged in, with its own SIM. Any Android from the last few years works.
The texts come from that phone's number, not your iPhone's. The text starts with your name and your business, so your customer knows straight away it's you. And it's a real mobile number, not one of those spammy short-code numbers people ignore.
Does it text from my number?
If you're on Android, yes. The robot runs on your own phone, so customers see a text from your number and they actually open it. On an iPhone it comes from the spare Android's number instead, with your name on the text.
What if a customer replies?
The reply lands on your phone like any normal text. You answer it if you want to.
How do I find my Google review link?
Search your business name on Google while signed in, click Ask for reviews, and copy the link. The setup page walks you through it, with a video. Your profile needs to be verified first.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Then don't keep it. The first 30 days are free and there's no card to cancel. If it's not for you, do nothing and the robot stops on day 30. If you do keep it and change your mind later, email me at [email protected] and it's cancelled within 24 hours.
I'm not a lawn guy. Will it work for me?
Yes. I built it for my lawn business, but there's nothing lawn-specific about it. If you have a list of happy customers and their mobile numbers, the robot can ask them for a review. Window cleaners, pool cleaners, house cleaners, pest control, dog groomers and walkers, gutter, pressure washing and handyman jobs. Same robot, same price.
Does it watch my Google profile?
Yes. It counts your Google reviews every night. If the number ever drops, you get a text and a red warning on your dashboard, so you know a review has gone missing.
Can I stop it?
Yes. One button turns sending off. To cancel the subscription, email me at [email protected] and it's done within 24 hours. No contract.
Reviews come from asking.
Let the robot ask, every week, while you mow.
