Review generation and reputation for a home inspection business
Reviews are the cheapest advantage in this trade and almost nobody takes it. Median review count across 27,687 listings is 4. 30.2% have none at all and 59.1% sit under ten. Thirty reviews puts you ahead of nearly every inspector in your county.
Timing is the whole game. Do not ask at the door while you are packing the truck and they are still absorbing bad news about the roof. Ask the morning after the report lands, once they have read it and understand what they got. Text rather than email: "Morning Sara, hope the report was clear. If it was useful, a quick Google review helps other buyers find me. Here is the link."
Ask the agent too. Agent reviews are worth more than buyer reviews, because the next agent reads them and agents write specific ones.
Then handle the hard cases: a deal that died on your findings, or a seller angry you cost them the sale. Reply in three calm sentences, no defense of the finding, and offer a call. Future readers are the audience, not the reviewer. The reviews guide has the full scripts.
