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. It's averaging a review a week, on autopilot.
The text your customer gets
It comes from your number, with your name on it. Nobody can tell a robot sent it.

You can change the wording to sound like you.
How it works
Load your customers once
Name and mobile number. Paste them in or upload a spreadsheet.
Connect your Android phone
A free app on your phone sends the texts. Step-by-step setup, and a setup call 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.
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.
It watches your profile too
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.
Join the waitlist
It's in beta testing with a few lawn businesses right now. Join the list and you'll get an email the day it opens.
Waitlist price: $9 USD a month, locked in for life. It goes up to $19 after that.
Questions
I have an iPhone. Can I use it?
Not on the iPhone itself. Apple doesn't let any app send texts in the background. Most iPhone users keep a cheap Android phone at home, plugged in, with their business number on it. Any Android from the last few years works.
Does it text from my number?
Yes. That's the point. Customers see a text from you, not from a random number, so they actually open it.
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. Your profile needs to be verified first.
When does it open?
It's in beta testing with a handful of lawn businesses now. Everyone on the waitlist gets an email the day it opens, and keeps the $9 price for as long as they stay.
Can I stop it?
Yes. One button turns sending off. Cancel the subscription any time and it stops at the end of the month.
Reviews come from asking.
Let the robot ask, every week, while you mow.
