How Many Reviews Is Your Shop Leaving on the Table?
Drag the sliders. Every happy customer who never got asked is a review your competitors are collecting instead — and reviews are what the map pack runs on.
12% is a planning assumption — one review for roughly every eight jobs when every customer gets a timed text with a one-tap link. Adjust with your own numbers.
Your assumption, not ours — nobody can promise how many calls reviews produce. Set it to what steadier map-pack visibility would plausibly be worth to your shop.
Reviews compound: every one you collect this year is still working for you next year, while the jobs you did without asking are gone forever.

What the math is really saying
Reviews are a volume game with a timing problem. At 40 jobs a month and a 12% ask-to-review rate, that's about 4.8 new reviews a month — nearly 58 a year — against the 2 a month (24 a year) most shops get from whoever remembers on their own. The gap isn't happy customers; it's the ask. A timed text with a direct link, sent after every job, is the entire difference between 24 reviews a year and 58.
The fix
System 4 in the $27 AI Automation Starter Pack is the automatic review engine: the trigger, the timing, the exact text, and the one-tap link setup — copy, paste, done. And if unanswered calls are the bigger leak, start with the free missed-call system first.
Questions, answered honestly
"How does this estimator work?"
Jobs per month × the review-request rate = projected new reviews per month. Subtract what you get now = your review gap. Multiply by 12 = the gap per year. The revenue side uses YOUR extra-jobs assumption × your average job value — we do the arithmetic, you supply the belief.
"Is 12% realistic?"
It's a middle-of-the-road planning number for "every customer gets a timed text with a direct link." Some shops see more, some less — it depends on your trade, your follow-through, and whether the text goes out every single time. Run it at 5% and at 20% to see your range.
"Do more reviews actually mean more jobs?"
Review count and rating are widely considered major local-ranking factors, and shoppers do compare star counts — but nobody honest can hand you a reviews-to-calls multiplier for your market. That's why the extra-jobs slider is yours to set. Be conservative; the review gap alone usually sells the system.
