More 5-star reviews.
Zero chasing.
Every finished job automatically texts your customer a review link. Most say yes. You go from a handful of Google reviews to 60+ without ever asking — lifting your rating, your ranking and the number of people who choose you. It's built into every Upflare plan for $349/month, no lock-in.
88% of people trust a review
like a mate's recommendation.
When two tradies show up in Google's local results, the one with 60 reviews at 4.9 stars gets the call — not the one with 8 reviews at 4.2. Reviews are the single biggest lever on both how many people choose you and how high Google ranks you. The problem was never that customers won't leave one. It's that nobody remembers to ask. So we made asking automatic.
Asks so you don't have to
Finish a job, and the customer gets a friendly text with a direct link to your Google review page. One tap for them, no awkward conversation for you, no forgetting.
30 seconds, done
The link drops them straight onto your review page. The easier you make it, the more people actually do it — which is why a direct-link text beats "could you review us sometime?" every time.
Unhappy customers first
If someone signals they weren't happy, that feedback comes to you privately in the app to fix — before it becomes a public one-star. You protect your rating instead of gambling with it.
Within the rules
Requests only go to customers you've just worked for, with an opt-out on every message — set up to meet the Australian Spam Act 2003 so you never have to think about it.
Reviews don't just add up. They multiply.
Here's what makes automated reviews so powerful for a trade business: every review does two jobs at once. It nudges the next customer to choose you, and it tells Google you're a real, active, trusted business — which pushes you higher in the local pack. Higher ranking means more people see you, more jobs means more reviews, and the whole thing snowballs.
That's why review automation isn't a standalone gimmick at Upflare — it feeds directly into the local SEO built into your website. A tradie who went from 9 to 51 reviews in 90 days didn't just look better; they climbed the rankings and started getting found for searches they never appeared in before.

Questions.
Answered.
The common questions about automating your Google reviews. Anything else, just ask.
How does the review automation actually work?
After you finish a job, your customer automatically gets a friendly text with a direct link to your Google review page. They tap it, leave a review in about 30 seconds, and you're done. You don't have to remember to ask, chase anyone, or do anything manual — it just happens after every job.
Is this allowed under Australian spam rules?
Yes. Review requests only go to customers you've just done a job for — people you have an existing business relationship with, which is what the Spam Act 2003 requires — and every message includes an opt-out. We set it up to stay compliant so you don't have to think about it.
What if someone's unhappy?
The system is built to catch problems before they become public one-star reviews. If a customer signals they weren't happy, that feedback is routed privately to you in the app to resolve directly, rather than straight onto your public profile. You get the chance to make it right.
How many more reviews will I actually get?
It varies by how many jobs you do, but most tradies go from a handful of reviews to 60+ within a few months, and keep climbing from there. More reviews lift both your star rating and your Google ranking — which is why review automation and your website work together.
