Demo: review requests for a painting company

This is a working demo of review requests for a painting company. Linden Row Painting is a fictional business in Chicago, IL. The demo uses sample data and runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.

The five steps

  1. A job is marked finished.
  2. The customer gets a short written request.
  3. One tap opens the review page.
  4. The owner sees who was asked and who answered.
  5. New reviews appear on the business's own site with structured data.

Start with step 1

Why it matters

So requests have to keep going after every job. That is why this is automated.

How it follows Google's review policy

Every customer is asked the same way. No incentives are offered. No step sends unhappy customers away from the public review page. The Google button is shown to everyone before any rating is given.

What this build does that a rented review tool does not

  • Reviews are written into the page itself as text with structured data. A rented widget loads them through a third-party script.
  • Every review a customer leaves on the site is shown, whatever the rating.
  • The request starts from how the business already marks a job finished: its invoice tool, a spreadsheet or a message to the office. The owner learns no new app.

For comparison, read on November 11, 2026: NiceJob, a rented review tool, lists $95 and $135 a month on its pricing page. Its widget page describes the website widget as one pasted script and says it displays "your latest 5-star reviews".

What it does not do

  • Only reviews written on Google count toward the Google profile. On-site reviews add customer-written text to the service pages.
  • Google does not show review stars in search results for reviews a business hosts about itself. Its guideline says pages are "ineligible for star review feature" when "the entity that's being reviewed controls the reviews about itself", including through "an embedded third-party widget". This applies to this build and to a rented widget alike. Source: Google Search Central, review snippet guidelines
  • Requests in this demo go by email. Text messages need each customer's prior consent and a carrier registration for each business, so they are set up per client.

Other things Two-Flat Studio could add

  • A fast written reply to missed calls

A private preview is a web page at a link that only people holding the link can open. It shows what I would build for one named client. It is a preview only. Nothing in it works until your client pays.
