What review requests do
When a job is finished and paid, SideWRK can reach out to the customer and ask for a review while the work is fresh. The rating they leave shows up on your public page (sidewrk.app/p/yourname) — the same page a new customer lands on when they look you up.
On the Pro plan you can also add your Google and Yelp review links to that page, so visitors can read your reviews there too. Between the ratings you collect and the links to your outside reviews, your page becomes a wall of proof instead of a list of services.
What you can use it for
Win the tiebreaker
When a customer is choosing between you and a stranger with no reviews, the ratings on your page decide it. Proof beats a promise.
Ask at the right moment
Right after a paid job is when a customer is most willing to leave a good word. Asking then, automatically, gets you far more reviews than remembering to ask later.
Point people to your Google reviews
Pro operators can add Google and Yelp links to their page, so a visitor can go read the full picture where it carries the most weight.
Compound into referrals
A customer who just left you a review is a customer who’ll tell their neighbor. Reviews and referrals feed each other.
How to collect reviews
- 1
Finish and get paid
Do the work and collect payment on the job like normal — that’s the trigger.
- 2
A request goes out
SideWRK reaches out to the customer for a review while the job is fresh, so you’re not the one remembering to ask.
- 3
The rating lands on your page
The review shows on your public page, where new customers see it when they look you up.
- 4
Add your outside review links (Pro)
On Pro, add your Google and Yelp links so visitors can read those reviews too, right from your page.
- 5
Let it build
Every finished job is another chance at another review. Over time, the proof stacks up on its own.
Why reviews are the cheapest marketing you have
You can’t out-spend a franchise on ads. But you can out-prove them — a page full of real ratings from real jobs does more to win a wary customer than any amount of paid promotion, and it costs you nothing but asking.
Review requests are included, and the ratings live on a page you own — not rented from a lead site that’ll sell the same customer to three competitors.
Reviews — common questions
When does SideWRK ask for a review?
After a job is marked done and paid — the point where the work is fresh and the customer is most likely to leave a good one. You’re not stuck remembering to ask.
Where do the reviews show up?
On your public page at sidewrk.app/p/yourname — the page new customers land on when they look you up, so the proof is right where it counts.
Can I show my Google reviews?
On the Pro plan, yes — add your Google and Yelp review links to your page and visitors can read those reviews too.
Can a customer opt out?
Yes. Review requests respect opt-outs, so a customer who’d rather not be asked isn’t pestered.
