R Review & Referral Growth Stack
Convert happy customers into Google reviews, referral asks, and reusable social proof โ with one approval-gated workflow that runs after every completed job.
Most businesses leave reviews on the table. This one fixes it.
Service businesses, contractors, salons, repair shops, dealerships โ any local business where word-of-mouth and online reviews are the primary growth engine.
- You know satisfied customers would leave reviews โ but asking feels awkward and inconsistent
- You forget to ask for referrals until weeks after the job when momentum is gone
- Great customer feedback sits in texts and calls but never becomes a post or testimonial
- You want the entire post-job sequence automated into drafts you approve โ not auto-sent
What the buyer gets.
What it asks for
- Customer name, job type, and completion date
- Any positive feedback they gave (text, call notes, email)
- Your Google review link and referral incentive (if any)
- Preferred delivery channel: text, email, or DM
What it returns
- Personalized review request draft (text, email, or DM)
- Referral ask draft with natural, non-pushy language
- Social proof caption draft from customer feedback
- Follow-up reminder draft if no response in 48 hours
- Owner approval checklist before any of it sends
Before and after.
โ Without this skill
- Reviews only come from customers who volunteer them
- Referral asks happen randomly โ often too late
- Verbal praise disappears โ never becomes a post or testimonial
- Google rating grows slowly; competitors pull ahead
- No system โ review momentum depends on whoever remembers
โ With this skill
- Every completed job triggers a personalized review request draft
- Referral ask is bundled into the same post-job sequence
- Customer feedback becomes a caption or testimonial in minutes
- Follow-up reminder is pre-drafted if the first request is ignored
- Consistent system regardless of who on the team runs it

Four steps after every completed job.
Enter the customer name, job type, completion date, and any feedback they gave โ verbal, text, or email. Include your Google review link once and reuse it every time.
Tell the skill which drafts to produce: review request only, review + referral, or the full stack (review + referral + social caption + follow-up reminder).
Each draft comes with an approval checklist: confirm satisfaction, remove placeholders, verify the customer relationship level before sending the referral ask.
Copy-paste into your SMS, email, or DM app and send. Schedule the follow-up reminder if no response in 48 hours. Log the response when it comes in.
