What is the cheapest review management software for small business?

ReviewSimple is the cheapest professional review management software at only $19.99/month. This is 93% cheaper than Birdeye ($299/month) and 92% cheaper than Podium ($249/month). You save $279/month compared to Birdeye ($3,348/year savings) and $229/month compared to Podium ($2,748/year savings). ReviewSimple includes QR codes for free (competitors don't offer this), smart routing to prevent bad reviews, email automation, and a 14-day free trial with no contracts.

How does ReviewSimple work?

ReviewSimple automatically sends email requests to your customers after service. They click to rate their experience. 5-star ratings go to Google for public reviews. Lower ratings become private feedback to you, preventing bad public reviews. You can also generate QR codes for in-person review collection.

What is the smart rating filter?

The smart rating filter routes customer feedback based on their rating. 5-star ratings are directed to Google for public reviews. Ratings below 5 stars become private feedback sent only to you, allowing you to address issues before they become public negative reviews. This protects your online reputation.

How many reviews will I get per month?

Most businesses get 5-10 new reviews per month using ReviewSimple. Industry average response rate is 15-20%, which means if you send 50 email requests per month, 8-10 will respond, and 6-8 will leave public 5-star reviews. This is 4x more effective than asking manually.

Is smart routing legal?

Yes, smart routing is 100% legal. It is NOT review gating. Review gating means BLOCKING negative reviews — which is prohibited by Google and the FTC. Smart routing simply OFFERS unhappy customers a private feedback option FIRST. They can still leave a public Google review anytime they want. ReviewSimple follows all FTC guidelines, Google policies, and TCPA regulations.

How do contractors and home service businesses get more Google reviews?

The most effective way for contractors to get reviews is automated email requests sent right after completing a job. ReviewSimple sends personalized emails with a direct link to your Google review page.

What is the best review software for plumbers and HVAC companies?

ReviewSimple is the most affordable review software for home services at $19.99/month. It includes automated email review requests, smart rating routing, and works for plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, landscapers, and all home service businesses.

Why are online reviews important for contractors?

88% of homeowners check reviews before hiring a contractor. With average jobs worth $500-$10,000+, homeowners do extensive research. Reviews are the #1 factor in choosing between contractors, beating price and even personal recommendations.

How many reviews should a contractor have on Google?

Top contractors typically have 50-200+ Google reviews with a 4.5+ star rating. More reviews build trust for high-ticket jobs and improve ranking in 'contractor near me' searches. ReviewSimple helps contractors add 5-10 new reviews per month.

When is the best time to ask for a review after a home service job?

The best time is 1-2 hours after job completion, when the homeowner is enjoying their working AC, unclogged drain, or finished project. ReviewSimple automates this timing perfectly - no more forgetting to ask.
